    And what is your solution for one bad party and one worse party in a first past the post system?

    mexico was also stuck in this situation and now they have president shienbaum because they did actual protests instead “no kings” pep rallies.

      Great stuff! I agree that the no kings rallies are not doing enough. I don’t quite see how any of this is contradictory to coopting the less bad political party though.

        A post explaining that you cannot coopt the party including a meme explaining that you cannot coopt a party should make it pretty clear that you cannot coopt the party

        And I shared this example to show that you don’t have to bother coopting the party; the party will come to you if you start protesting the same way Americans did in the 1960’s & 70’s.

        It worked it in back then and Mexico shows that it still worked in 2017.

        And learning how to do it is as easy as watching historical tv footage of the civil right protesters physically assaulting the police and causing property damage and wo permission or watch videos of the Mexicans doing the same thing on social media … assuming that Ellison hasn’t already purged them from TikTok’s libraries. Lol
