minus-squareSemi-Hemi-Lemmygod@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 个月前The original post is very Pollyanna and ignores systemic and demographic problems that will never allow that level of domination. I’ve been voting for 25 years and these things haven’t happened, and I don’t think they will ever happen.
minus-squaresomeguy3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 个月前It’s a tad simplistic but it’s on point because the left never shows up or votes 3rd party. If they showed up, it would be a big change.

minus-squaresomeguy3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 个月前Maybe, maybe not. But 3rd party instead of Gore cost him the election. I think the protest non voters cost Hillary the election. And in any case the target for discussion here is all these Lemmy users that don’t vote in protest.

That’s not a fallacy.

That’s still not a fallacy.
