      You’re correct in most of the world, where instant runoff is the norm. But drag thinks we should also let the Americans know that they should be voting Democrat, since they have a broken system where only votes for the two biggest parties are counted. Any American who didn’t vote for every Democrat president is almost as responsible for climate collapse as the Republicans.

          That’s right. That’s why we need a revolution. And that’s why we pick the shark with fewer teeth until we’re organised enough to do it. You can’t fix the US electoral system by voting. Voting third party isn’t going to save the world. You need to give up on your false hope that your vote is for doing good. Your vote is for delaying the bad. You delay the bad by voting Democrat.

              If homelessness rose under Obama, why is homelessness lower in 2016 than in 2008? If homelessness didn’t rise under Trump, why is homelessness higher in 2020 than in 2016? Drag thinks somebody lied to you about these figures. Drag thinks you should re-evaluate your understanding of politics.
