    OK, what else do you suggest?

    Not many ask.

    Because of idealism, they seem to ask for something that doesn’t exist and not accept anything else.

    This is my issue with almost everyone. They believe they already know what others think, that no one could possibly have an alternative that they’ve not already considered.

    My suggestions are as follows: Consider that your scope of evaluation is only one cycle. As a consequence there may be nuance in system function that you’d not considered. Then ask the same question but in good faith.

        Do you simply have no answer, or are you withholding them so you can feel smug?

        false dichotomy

      Yes, they do ask a lot, at least a far as I’ve seen. I still haven’t seen a good alternative to voting for the lesser evil in a FPTP system.

      They believe they already know what others think

      My opinion on that was based on the whole “don’t vote for Harris, she’ll support genocide” thing I saw earlier this year. If I’m wrong about that, or anything else, I’m more than happy to be corrected.

      no one could possibly have an alternative that they’ve not already considered

      Most people don’t think that no one could have a good alternative, they just don’t know of anyone who does.

      your scope of evaluation is only one cycle

      You’re assuming that’s my only scope. Both the short term and the long term are important, but from what I’ve seen the short term tends to get ignored in this sort of community.

          Sorry, mate, but don’t assume. I’m not american, I’m kiwi.

          They’re not even a citizen, they’re just here to spread anti-democratic voting propaganda from other fucking side of the ocean where they don’t have to deal with the effects or care about any actual causes.
