@realcaseyrollins voting during the primaries is going to be a much better choice when it comes to change for sure.

I think most of us vote on issues. The biggest issue I vote for is whatever vote I feel is most likely to destroy the view of a two party system. If that is your primary goal than a third-party vote seems clear.

@wjmaggos

I dont know how much sense it makes... Two popular candidates who are both evil make no sense to vote for when you can vote for someone who is not evil.

Why would I feel better about voting someone I hate who happens to win than voting for someone I like who doesnt? voting for someone you dont want, simply because they are more likely to win makes little sense to me.

@wjmaggos

> consider something small like when do we have the block party and two dates are getting most of the votes and either is likely

And this is where you actually **disprove** the two party system.

Obviously if you have a regular style vote (first past the post) and two choices are **highly** favored then you will have a two party system. But as you just pointed out it **requires** the axiom that you have 2 highly favored choices (not 10, not 1).

So really all you are saying is that when there is a 2 party system (2 parties are very likely to win) then you have a 2 party system.... Says nothing about us inherently having a 2 party system.

in fact the fact that we have seent he 2 favored parties change a total of 8 times in US history while the current voting system remained inplace disproves the idea of a two-party system

Remember a vote for third party is avote for ::checks notes:: whoever you dont want to win apparently.

Funny how it changes based on whoever will convince you most to support a 2-party system. Nah the most important vote is one against a 2-party system.

@MicheleV_AK Nah, my vote for a third party goes for biden, everyone knows that... lol.

@MicheleV_AK

I agree, the hunter biden BS is laughable.. it shouldnt effect your vote.

That said I **wont** be voting for Biden due to his track record of abhorrent racism and a continued pattern of exploiting minorities for his own career suggesting to me he is still the same racist in his own mind... cant vote for that, under any circumstances.

@fo I normally work in super high resolutions (and have the eyes for it)...it may be with a much lower resolution reading wont be an issue. Not sure what to do about typing.

I did find bicycling at the desk to be much more useful. Less bouncing so easier to mitigate.

@fo The noisewasnt the issue for me. The issue is that it makes it harder to type and read with the bouncing up and down as you walk.

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy
While im not really a supporter of masking up at this point. I think its excessive and mentally unhealthy I do agree with spreading awareness about long COVID. So I am glad to see this effort regardless.

A classic lawl :)

@realcaseyrollins Well most people eventually settle for 2 out of 3 or stop looking all together. Before finding my girlfriend i had stopped looking for the better part of a decade

@realcaseyrollins

They may not stop you from having a headache, but I garuntee your headache will be the least of your concerns by that point :)

@realcaseyrollins I like a woman with a nice volumptious personality and a big round brain.
