Yup, it’s why the powerful few like the hostile system as it allows the conquering and dividing of the people.
just look at the us and how the orange wierdo won not once but twice. nuff said. get off this road right away. To that meme with the car going over several lanes of the expressway to make the offramp.
And guess what keeps the AfD away?
The fact they cant win a majority with 20% of the vote thanks to Germany not using winner-take-all?
More the AfD can't get seats at all because of fptp.
I mean fascists filtrated the Republican Party and won all the power with only 49.8% of the vote in the 2024 US Presidential Election.
Do you really want AfD to win a majority with only 20% of the vote because parties have won a majority with only 18% of the vote under fptp.
It’s more transparent to everyone in the democracy if we all saw the amount of support they have instead of them lurking behind the 2 big tent parties.
We're voting to replace Matt Gaetz today. I'm not going to bother as there is a 100% chance it will be another Republican.
It will be more so if you don’t vote.
I know. :( But Florida's 1st Congressional District is utterly hopeless. Last Democrat only got 34%, and that was against Matt Fucking Gaetz.
I'll still vote on everything else I can, but shit, I'm tired boss.
It's a shitty existence being a decent human, that's for sure.
