"Majority Of Americans want a third party"Follow

Obviously it's targeted. Putting this program in place in most US cities would ensure a democratic president in perpetuity unless the other side wised up and started "expanding" it to the rest of the country, and it would still be incredibly painful due to increased logistical burdens.

If you make voting part of someone's routine, that's what it will become.

EDIT: In case it was unclear "Major employers and institutions" means cities.

You could get better increased voter participation rates than the lauded Obama GOTV machine by dropping of early voter cards along with cofee and donuts at major employers and institutions....

More efficient for Democrats to just work on organizing unions. Then you get contributions to fund the other stuff. Voting is quaint and all, but money is, well, money.

It still seems silly all you people have to go to voting booths and what not. You know if you do it right they mail you your ballot. You lay on the couch in your underwear, maybe wrapped in a nice warm blanket, with a bottle of wine, googling people and issues on your iPad before filling in the little boxes.

So much more enjoyable than standing in line for 4 hours in the rain next to a tea party supporter with a giant Sarah Palin t-shirt and attitude to match.

Votes are money. People love a winner. Union organization is already profitable, so it's not in direct competition.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Try again with something more than zero people in the apparatus would benefit from.

Then use them as a tool rather than trying to fight them. You don't have their resources, so don't fight on their turf.

Mandatory voting!

You're only politically irrelevant if you choose not to do anything politically. Under your theory, there is no damage or support that a person can do for another outside of voting. Education is the biggest weapon here. People tend to vote with a large percentage of ignorance. Sitting in your room and not voting would indeed make you irrelevant, but not any more irrelevant than voting blue in a red state or vice-versa. However, ACTIVELY engaging in politics and educating others will make you far from irrelevant.




You're confusing "not voting for someone you disagree with" with "not voting at all". There are a lot of politicians that people like, but don't support because they wont win against another opponent. So, instead of risking losing that position to the opposing party, they vote for the more popular person. If people stop voting for the "cool kids" and start voting for the people they actually support, then 3rd parties can actually run. Would you run in a city where most people automatically support the opposing party, no matter how bat crazy the politician is?


I didn't say anything about removing yourself from any party, but not voting for people that you don't support, which ought to be common sense anyway.



No. read above.

Just so everyone's clear, Alma isn't on my side.

I chuckled; mostly because I would typically classify those who vote only along party lines as morons. I would further classify those who do not care about how morons vote as functional retards. I have further classifications, but I do not have enough time to go over them in detail.

Huzzah, flavorings of Totem.

For clarification, I say "3rd party" in a very generic way. I don't necessarily support a 3 party system, but I do support the ability for an Independent or faction of a party to win a general election. Of course there is no law preventing that from happening now; however, voting for people whom you don't support will never allow it to happen.


Yet that doesn't change the inaccuracy of your words.
