Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I do listen to "both" sides! That's exactly why I'm a leftist!

I don't get why centrists think that you have to be "centrist" to listen to both sides, or why doing so makes you a centrist.

For America I'm what used to be a centrist, but now unfortunately I would be considered far left. I hate what we have become. Vote blue!

Green is better but not enough people even know about the Green party that it would be viable

[–] PizzaMan@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

It's not even just that people don't know about the green party, it's that we are stuck with a voting system that is inherently biased against 3rd parties being viable.

If we can switch to a better voting system like STAR or approval, it would be far better for the green party.

And the existing parties would have to compete for once, which would go a long way towards making them not dumpster fires.
