Welcome folks, to the Biden administration!

I would assume if there were ever a future United States that had a system redesigned for multiple thriving parties, the other necessary reforms will have been made. Just because it isn’t currently a good idea, doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea. The first-past-the-post system sucks.

It does. The US system is antiquated. There are so many better systems out there.

American democracy is stuck, literally, in the 18th century. It's no wonder the Plutes have such a stranglehold here. It was designed for them.
 
I'd like to thank the collection of basement dwellers, Antifa LARPers, and drooling midwits who consistently post on this particular thread. You have provided me with so much unintentional comedy that I can never repay the debt. You are a credit to the educational institutions that stripped you of the ability to think critically and view the world as it really is as opposed to the fever dreams with which you are afflicted. You also provide a delightful snap shot into the mind of the Democrat base and an understanding of how you guys share the same contempt for norms and functioning institutions as your Trumpist soulmates. All Democrats had to do was be normal, treat The Squad and Bernie with the contempt they deserve, and move the needle left in a slow, rational and deliberate manner and they would have controlled 2 of 3 branches of government for the next 30 years--with SCOTUS flipping in the next 15 years. As it is, you have now alienated the ever increasing Hispanic vote--particularly those between the ages of 30-55, lost the white working class forever, and are doing your level best to drive the suburban vote back to the GOP in droves. You are even managing to drive 20 percent of African American male voters to the GOP (30% of those between 18-44). As Ruy Texiera has been repeatedly warning you, no bueno, amigos. This November is going to be a bloodbath that crushes all of your hopes and dreams, and if the GOP can manage to be just a smidgen smarter than you guys and figure out a way to nominate anyone but Trump, by January of 2025 they'll have the Presidency, the House, and at worst 59 seats in the Senate with a very real shot at as many as 61 seats.

And Kepler, you are my favorite here on this island of Misfit Toys thread. The fact that you are still stamping your feet about Reagan crushing the craven and incompetent Jimmy Carter forty-one years down the road is unintentional comedic gold. Like your fellow SUNY-Cornell grad, Keith Olberman, you are the perfect combination of ideological rigidity and pomposity, coupled with a complete lack of self-awareness. Don't ever change. I sincerely mean that.

How do you fix it? There's nothing illegal about other parties- heck they are always out there. The only rules out there are participation support in election systems. But other than that...

First-past-the-post incentivizes two parties. Either you win, or you don’t. 49.9% = 0%. 50% + 1 vote = 100%. IRV, coupled with proportional representation, would alleviate some of the issues we’re facing as a polarized country. You win 40% of the vote? Your party should represent close to 40% of the seats. Again, I don’t expect this to happen anytime soon, at least nationally maybe ever, but it’s certainly better than what we have. Too strong of incentives for both Democrats and Republicans to keep the status quo.
 
Looks like y'all gots a collective case of the sadz. I can assure you, this is my only screen name. As to whether its trolling to state the obvious about you fellas, well, that's a broader discussion for a different time. Just keep being yourselves. The jokes write themselves.
 
Always nice to know something still works on the "new and improved" USCHO Fan Forum, specifically the ignore list. Whoever "Walt Poddubny" is, he should be immediately rendered irrellevant by everyone, via utilization of the ignore feature. My page already looks better with one fewer loser piece of stool polluting this place with nonsense.
 
Son, does Chuck appear to be reticent about calling this sort of invincible ignorance out to the point that he would create an alter ego? As I have said, and will continue to say, I have no other screen name from which to post. I am my authentic, dead self and no amount of wish casting on your part can change that.

I swear, back in 86-87, when I was the toast of Broadway and before Esposito shipped me off to the Nordiques, thereby destroying my career, my sobriety, my knees and my marriage, me and the Missus went to a cocktail party in Scarsdale, which wasn't far from our practice facility in Rye and the condo we were renting in Harrison. I wasn't up for it, but Kelly Kisio's wife had pulled the Missus into the Junior League or some such nonsense, and she was amped to go. Anyhow, all I wanted was a can of Old Vienna, which was my preferred brand, but hard to get south of the 49th parallel. You'd at least expect that a gathering of classy Westchester broads would serve something decent, like a Lowenbrau or a Moosehead, if only to keep the suffering husbands happy. But no, all they had was chardonnay. It was like the 9th ring of Hell. Anyway, you all sound like that gaggle of overeducated harpies. I think the term the kids use is "caucasian wine women", which come to think of it, is a group that will comprise 90% of the Democrat base if the party insists on continuing down its current path.

At least my anecdote has a happy ending. Tony McKegney showed up and one of the wine women thought he was a car thief and called the cops. Pierre Larouche and Larry Melnyk were upset at this overt racism, so we all piled into Willie Huber's Grand Cherokee and rolled over to the Candlelight Inn and got blotto on pitchers of Genessee Cream Ale while eating at least 100 pounds of chicken wings. I can tell ya, the charter flight the next day to Detroit was the smelliest of my professional career, and I think Melnyk could have been tried at The Hague for the crime against humanity that he committed in the aft bathroom.

I am sorry this is happening to you.

I am sorry this is happening to you. It sure is difficult when someone doesn't conform to your world view. Back to the echo chamber where no one can hurt your feelz!
 
What an absolutely horrible thing to say about yourself. And if you are referring to me, why are you assuming my race, you racist bigot!
