i'm getting real frickin' tired of all the people who have made it their mission to become nihilists by any means necessary.
(@leftyvegan.bsky.social):
We needed a viable 3rd party 20 years ago. We will never get one it seems, because any alternatives are the enemy of the "lesser evil". And we get scolded for demanding better.
Every single election.
XaiaX ΜΜ π» (@xaiax.net):
Any viable third party becomes one of the two viable parties.
Technology Connections (@techconnectify.bsky.social):
in a first-past-the-post system, yes, which is another reason why I personally think ranked choice voting is more immediately needed than viable third parties but I mean I'm just a guy on the internet.
XaiaX ΜΜ π» (@xaiax.net):
Yeah we have some amount of various ranked voting systems in San Francisco and California which is nice. The state level stuff with "top two finishers go to the general" for federal offices is a little weird but it did at least lead to "Pelosi faces opponent who is a democrat not a Republican".
(@leftyvegan.bsky.social):
It's also weird that Democrats installed a candidate who didn't win the primary.
XaiaX ΜΜ π» (@xaiax.net):
Being ready to replace the current president at their job is literally the VP's entire job and the reason running mates exist so this is a particularly stupid attempt at a point.
(@leftyvegan.bsky.social):
She's not the acting president. Joe Biden is still president. It's not her job to take over his candidacy.
Oh my god.
XaiaX ΜΜ π» (@xaiax.net):
She's his running mate it's literally her job. You're bad at this whole sock puppet thing.
(@leftyvegan.bsky.social):
No dude. It doesn't work like that. A person does not win a primary, select a running mate, drop out and have the VP pick just run like nothing happened.
And it doesn't work that way for a second term candidacy either.
XaiaX ΜΜ π» (@xaiax.net):
He hadn't won the primary yet that happens at the convention.
Are you even an American? You don't seem to have any idea how primaries work.
(@leftyvegan.bsky.social):
Who won the democratic primary?
Look it up.
Ms. Penny π π§βοΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
β¦
Bylaws of the Democratic Party, Article 2, Section 1, (c)
The [DNC] shall have general responsibility for the affairs of the β¦ Party β¦ this responsibility shall include, but not be limited to:
(c)
Filling vacancies in the nominations for the office of the President and Vice President;
Ms. Penny π π§βοΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
I've now Looked It Up. Their own bylaws allow the DNC to fill vacancies in the nominations for POTUS & VPOTUS.
(@leftyvegan.bsky.social):
Oh yeah. I remember them talking about this in court in 2016.
(@leftyvegan.bsky.social):
Ms. Penny π π§βοΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
The most recent revision to their charter and bylaws β the one they're operating under now, in the time span scope you started with β was 2021.
Do you need help staking down those goalposts so they don't slide?
Ms. Penny π π§βοΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
More importantly β do you see any Democratic Party members writing op-eds, lawsuits, complaints, letters to the editor, running campaigns to protest the persons picked to fill the nomination voids β?
Why do you think that might be the case? Do you know what nomination by acclaimation is?
Ms. Penny π π§βοΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Are you tired of these questions yet?
(@leftyvegan.bsky.social):
Who would publish them?

If you're going to try to convince me that now the DNC isn't made up of self-serving, malignant trash, I can save you some time...
Ms. Penny π π§βοΈ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
I'm not trying to persuade you to change your opinion about the mores of the DNC.
I'm trying to set your expectations for how little anyone else finds this to be The Thing To Be Concerned About.
If Trump wins, I will have to flee the country. IDGAF how Madame Vice President got the POTUS nom.
(@leftyvegan.bsky.social):
My biggest issue is palestine. I won't elaborate. I'm sure I don't need to.
But I don't wish you the harm or inconvenience of having to leave the country.
Anyway, I'm totally disillusioned and I've said as much as I care to say about election matters for now.
