Y'all ever notice how all the tankie types are eager to tell you your votes don't matter but also conservatives are above rigging elections and Trump literally bragging about Elon rigging the election shouldn't be investigated?

Investigate away DemAnon.

If you run into hostility regarding this investigation, perhaps it has something to do with the democrats scrambling to avoid responsibility for their failures. If democrats keep First-past-the-post voting in the blue states they control, and they tell people that they are the only option to beat the Republicans, then they cannot shirk responsibility here. I personally don't see this acceptance from liberal commenter's online or the democratic party at large. This will lead into another shitty campaign if we don't call them out on their bullshit.

Please consider putting 1/10th the effort you expend here into passing electoral reform on your state so more people could be represented by their options in the voting booth. More people voting means a chance they would list the democrats as a 2nd choice. Why are the democrats saying no to these easy votes? Why would they say no to having more then one chance to defeat the republicans?
