Yes they do, all the time. I wanted to vote for Bernie in the 2016 election, but I actually voted for Hillary because I thought that splitting the vote would let Trump win. If we had ranked choice, I could have put Bernie on top while knowing that I wasn’t opening the door tor Trump.

Would those people have voted for him in a first past the post race? Or would they have been too afraid that someone worse than Cuomo would win, so they stick with him?

Which is probably why the DNC didn’t let us have a primary for the 2024 election. They knew their status quo candidate didn’t have any juice behind her but didn’t want to open the door to that criticism.

You don’t even have to join the Democratic Party to vote in their primaries.

That being said, they will absolutely move mountains to block anyone remotely socialist from gaining power. The only reason Mamdani won the primary is because NYC has ranked choice voting.

The Dems are not going to save us because their leadership is profiting from this too much. Organized resistance is the only hope we have.

Not sure about this picture, but generally Soviet blocs were built with lots of surrounding green space, all the amenities you’d need within walking distance, and the rest of the city connected by public transport. Way more human-friendly than the US suburban hellscape.

In this case, yes. These criticisms are literally Nazi propaganda.

Again, not any worse than any other country of the time.

Meh, China’s influence in Africa has been orders of magnitude more benevolent than the US’s historical actions. I don’t think there should be any global superpowers, but if there has to be one, I’d rather have a socialist-aligned country than a capitalist one on top.

Healthy people want to live in peace, but also recognize when is the time to fight for that peace.

Harris voters were fine with fascism - as long as it was carried out abroad.

It’s wild that a mod can just decide what is misinformation based on whether they personally know who the author is or not.

Just post your rebuttal as a comment. Objectively, you are hardly a more reliable source than the person who wrote this.

You may “know what you’re talking about,” but how do I know that you know? Why should I believe that your opinion is more correct?
