Hillary Clinton tells voters to ‘get over yourself’ when it comes to Biden-Trump rematch | CNN Politics

CNN’s Abby Phillip speaks to ESPN talk show host Stephen A. Smith about former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton telling undecided voters to “get over yourself” regarding the rematch of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

With a electoral system like Ranked Choice voting, people would feel safe to vote for whomsoever they wish, as their vote would still be counted even if their preference didn’t win.

Just search for videos on FPTP voting if you want an explanation on how and why the spoiler effect exists.

Electoral reform is possible in each individual state (for now), we dont need federal reform! Maine and Alaska have already passed electoral reform.

Republicans are moving to make alternative electoral systems illegal in their states. Republicans LOVE first past the post voting. Just sbsolutely adore it. Why would you want to use the same voting system republicans want?

More political parties means a higher percentage of the population is represented by their choices in the voting booth. More people involved in the electoral process, more people engaged.

Its a win win win all around for not just the people, but also for the democratic party. More people voting means more democratic votes. The numbers dont lie. So what’s the hold up blue states?

Some day we will be able to vote for who best represents our interests. We won’t need to grovel on our knees, begging for representationin government. We won’t need to wait for the Republican party to stop existing.

We can do it right now. We don’t have to get over a damn thing. If anyone needs to get over themselves, it would be the democrats who assume they are the only way forward.

Consider starting a campaign to change how we vote in your own state! Force our representatives to compete with fresh outside ideas. We deserve the best representation, not excuses.

    Oh right, when you’re running in a popularity contest and lose, it’s the fault of the people voting not your own. The fact that she couldn’t even be more appealing than a known conman, failed businessman, and reality TV host with zero political experience really says a lot.

      When those people voting let a fascist in, then yes, it is in fact their fault.

      If you need more convincing than “that guy is a fascist” to be doing everything in your power yes including voting you dumbass to stop him from coming to power, you’re a fucking fascist, doesn’t matter how many pride flags you cram in your bio, doesn’t matter how many times you say your Hail Marries Genocide Joes, when it came down to it you chose letting fascism win over sucking it up for someone who’s greatest sin was not delivering St. Bernard his rightful throne over something as petty as he got 3 million less fucking votes than her because you shitlord cunts don’t even turn out for your own guy.

      Bernie deserved better than you. It’s because of voters like you that the DNC has been drifting right, because why bother trying left when all they’re met with is unreliable and underperformant apathy for turnout, when playing the center gets voters who show up to the ballot without even fucking knowing all the offices that are gonna be up on it because at least they remember the whole civic duty part of their public school education!
