Ahh ok so the distinction is difficulty to change, kinda the point i was getting at after all.

There's nothing from preventing these laws from similar "procedures". In fact as we learned in 2020 most of those states all have laws precluding election changing laws form being snap decided too close to elections. Procedures are just more laws!

Sorry but the strained version of both sideism you put forward is not simply boring today but its also irrelevant and it;'s also almost entirely borne out of the very one sided news apparatus you complain about.

Both sidesing today is basically carrying the work of Fox news outside the TV and into real life and people who espouse it are unwittingly just doing their work. It's just stealth carrying conservative messaging.

They've made "liberals be cringe right?!" a personality trait for people. Both sides!

No thats not how this works!

If you don't want to join the tent under the Democrats then you do your own thing and put up candidates who represent you!

I will be participating for my candidates in the Democratic primaries. Whoever comes out of that I will support in the general. I am participating in the boring systems and not just virtue signalling and jerking myself off from the outside because I need to preserve my self sense of being cooler than everyone else.

It's not 2009 anymore. Grow up.

Hey you silly goose, one inidividual vote rarely decides anything. Please learn how systems work and join the rest of us in literate adulthood.

Great, who is the independent candidate i should support in my Governor race in 2026 and who should I support in 2028 for Pres? Someone totally realistic no doubt!

Just more empty slopulism, more empty virtue signals, more pretentious and yet completely unfounded and unearned superiority.

If I thought you knew what fascism was I'd be concerned.

I mean that itself is a pedantic distinction, all that laws are are agreements. Sure a state law is easier to change than an amendment but this would still be law if it got the votes. It would still work and if it did it would definitely press the issue to where an amendment becomes far more feasible.

Depending on which state you are in there is still an option out there that is actually closer then I thought actually:

National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

One thing's for sure is the SC case if this happens will be wild.

Notice they never want to say fucking why the gas prices were high in each of these two instances.

Well then continue to be absolutely irrelevant at best and more likely just an accomplice to fascism. You can either grow up and be an adult or continue to act like a petulant child and then act like you're above emotions. Most of us can't just act like we're 15 forever.

If you think it's a conspiracy that Bernie failed to make any inroads with black and minority voters sure, you go right ahead. Unless you're going full magatard and you think the votes were rigged otherwise Hillary and Biden got more votes. I say this as a two-time Bernie primary voter. He just didn't get the votes and it didn't help that he had some of the worst fucking people on his campaign staff. I love Bernie but he's shite at staffing.

Was there an anti-Bernie sentiment amongst the party executives? Sure and that's even somewhat understandable, Hillary was a dyed lifelong Democrat and Bernie only wears the party badge when he wants to run for President. That doesn't excuse their actions, they should be more non-partisan but unless you think something was rigged Hillary just got more votes. Quite a few in fact. People forget Hillary was actually quite popular before 2015 started.

  You do also realize the DNC actually implemented rule changes in response to Bernie's campaign and the concerns around it. The brainrot cynicism has to stop if you actually want things to get better.

As a retort to me being cynical about voters you link a Rumble video called "All Wars are Banker Wars" and this is supposed to make me *less* cynical about voters? (((I think we all know what you mean)))

This type of trash making people not vote (or really, you probably voted for Trump) is why I am cynical about voters. If anything this resolves me to support the government getting more onerous about this type of media fucking with all our lives.

Independents by their nature are not part of the party so why should we care? The Democrats are a big tent party, there's space for your Jon Testers and Joe Manchins to Zohrans and Bernie Sanders. You want to have a say in the party you need to be part of the party not sneering at it from the outside.

Now count how many billionaires were in Biden's cabinet versus Trump's cabinet. Also most members of Congress are going to get a net worth of $1m plus, lot's of them are old, that isn't uncommon so be more specific, this is otherwise just more empty slopulism.

Easy to say as privileged white men. "Lesser evil" means quite a bit to a person who is going to effected by these policies.

Motherfucker that's my point you don't just get to go 60IQ conspiracy theory and then pretend you believe in the process now. Fuck that.

"People on [the internet] will really be like 'you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a Walmart' and then not firebomb a Walmart."

If we want to talk about how fucked our media environment is I am right there with you and that to me is a much more fruitful area to focus on than the boring old "voting doesn't matter, uniparty" bullshit.

The parties couldn't be more different right now. Does that make Democrats perfect or even good? Not really but they are in fact quite different than Republicans and stand for quite different things.

Yes, it matter quite a lot.

Hold on a second, if it was fixed from the start then why was there months of consternation and intrique when Bernie was running around winning early states and grabbing momentum? All part of the show? Every person is in on it?

I remember in 2020 when Biden was considered a longshot still until the SC primary. All part of the show?

This is why conspiracy theorists simply cannot be taken seriously, it's "all roads lead to Rome" all the time. It requires a level of shutting of your brain to any common sense that you might be unable to care for yourself.
