Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Political Edition
Added 2022-10-11 23:36:40 +0000 UTCHas anyone ever considered that when you have two political parties clawing each other's eyes out to get 51 percent, the obvious sane solution is to change the rules so that a third, fourth or fifth party can join the conversation, forcing everyone to compromise to get that 51 percent? Shouldn't the most diverse nation in the world have more than two opinions?

Yes, absolutely. Limited choices are still a constraint. It's a type of hidden suppression.
2022-10-25 18:16:33 +0000 UTCI've been screamin' this for years. As a younger man I even came up with the 3rd party: the bell party. Sort of a double entendre because liberty bell...but also because it would represent more of the people within the bell curve, instead of the 2 fringe opposites.

2022-10-20 23:15:22 +0000 UTCYes! Everyone should look into the Forward Party that was started by Andrew Yang. No official candidates until ranked choice voting is in place so we aren’t a spoiler party. There are a lot of people like me who don’t think either major party represents our interests and want another option. Believe that more competition leads to more cooperation and less division.

2022-10-14 11:55:58 +0000 UTCThat’s kind of the difference between a presidential and parliamentary system. My first vote ever was for Ralph Nader, to give viability to another party, the Green Party, towards this end. I wasn’t in a swing state but we know what happened here

2022-10-12 17:06:53 +0000 UTCIn Scotland we have a form of proportional representation that was designed to make sure there was no overall majority and that parties would be forced into coalitions and work together. Although this hasn't stopped there being a one party majority a few times. The last election had the main party being short one seat so they came to an agreement with another party to allow for a majority.
