The things come with a handle and we still get it wrong.

I like the way you bend everything past the breaking point. Great chat.

What an interesting twist of logic. SpaceX is three companies in a trenchcoat and laughably overvalued. Even by their own hilariously optimistic IPO documentation, the rocketry company represented a very small portion of the overall value. So sure, pay for the rocketry part. Now let’s see how Starlink fares (literally) without a build-in government floated launch platform. It’s okay though, because xAI will be worth $22,000,000,000,000 any day now.

Agreed. Your evidence is irrefutable. The long history of successful 3rd parties in America can not be denied. Please share the name of your perfectly good, passes all purity tests, 3rd Party so we can start voting for it already!

Your “nuh uh” reasoning is too much for me. Even the parts where you admit your plan won’t work in a democracy (“most people”). I look forward to voting for the perfectly good 3rd party you create. Please email me the details at goreadabook@clowncollege.com

Sick burn bro. I’ll never recover.

A 3rd party is not viable in our election system. This is not a question of will, it’s a question of math. If your goal is handing the greater evil power for the foreseeable future you’re doing a great job.

Great job of half reading. I understand quite well how election actually work. You seem to be operating based on how you wish they worked.

No, it’s de facto because of math. I specifically suggest changing this, but tell me more about how I’m incapable of understanding stuff.

Gang, this isn’t complicated. We have a de facto two party system. On election day your choices are: A. Evil, B. Lesser Evil, or C. Don’t vote / wasted vote. That’s the way the system works. Systems can change. If you don’t like the existing system, work to change it instead of just showing up on election day to make a futile gesture. Alaska this year might be a prime opportunity to get wider support for ranked choice voting if played right. You can also show up for primary season to get the Lesser Evil even less evil.
