Honestly sometimes I think every country should have its own Sinn Féin of sorts. Just a party that never takes its seats. Yeah, try calling it the "same thing" when you can't pass any legislation or form coalitions or get anything done because a third of the seats in the national legislature are literally left empty on purpose. Don't like it? Well, it's your problem that your party is literally less electable than No Representation!
In the US that would almost literally be voting in Republicans. They want the system to crawl to a halt, and critical functions are legislated to frequently sunset so they can hold the system hostage on a regular basis.
This is very superficial.
It's how the system works with First Past the Post voting. It doesn't support more than 2 viable candidates. We need to reform our election system.
Well, it's a short comment on a social media platform, what do you expect. At least it's less superficial than "This is very superficial."
I should've gone into detail, but I'm just not in the mood to argue sometimes. I'll get back to you if I do.

Isn't that the Republican strategy?
That's the Republican strategy when they're in the minority and the legislation in question is stuff that actually helps people. Real POSIWID hours
Well, good news, US legislature managed to dismantle itself with all the "checks and balances" and
liberum vetofilibuster. Now it's just a circus to play for the gullible to legitimize this oligarchic empire. It is no representation, one way or another and somebody should openly state it. The best the progressive caucus could do now is to walk out.
