Is this a troll post?

Thanks! chomp chomp chomp

Yeeeaaaah....'bout that..

That sort of reinforces my point. The reason third party candidates have no chance of winning is because....voters believe third party candidates have no chance of winning.

But since I'm not much of a politically savvy guy (at least I admit it), I'm just gonna leave this here, as it better explains why so many voters are disillusioned with the two party system.

>I don't know of anyone who actually holds an opinion about that.

Well, nearly everyone (in this subreddit, anyway) seems to have a strong opinion about...something. Perhaps not specifically this, though there are some who appear to have strong opinions on everything political.

It may just be contentious rhetoric from a select few. But that's what I've seen whenever someone asks a political question on Reddit.

Thank you for the reference! Certainly more useful than some comments I've seen throughout this thread.

I'm gonna be honest here. I must have read both those questions 10 times over. Yet, the blatantly convoluted syntax made it all but impossible for an average joe like myself to even begin to comprehend what the hell it means.

From what I gather, they're attempting to amend....something. With The Constitution, no less. If that's the case, it's a hard 'NO' for me. That's about as far as I got.

>I'm forced to vote for the person who will do that the least if I want my vote to have any effect, if it even does at all.

I don't know that I agree with this entirely. I don't recall who originally said it. But there's a saying.. "Be the change you want to see".

Look, one day, this system will either be redefined, amended, or obliterated entirely if we're not careful. Obviously, the change can't happen overnight. But I am repulsed by the notion that we're forced into voting in a binary sort of way; which, as history is showing us, isn't exactly working for everyone.

But I dunno. I'm not exactly a political guy, so I'm still learning the more I read up on things. The only thing I am sure of is....we can't keep doing what we've always done and expect a different result.

They don't have a chance because hardly anyone bothers to vote for a third (or forth) option. And that attitude keeps it so.

True. But that shouldn't dictate that I only vote for one of the two main parties just cuz "that's how it's always been".

Well, it hasn't...but you know what I mean.

Yup. But since I filter all my texts, I never read the ones from unknown phone numbers anyway. Love that feature!

It's like you guys never considered there's a third option..

Looks like they were right. This subreddit really is a dumpster fire.

I don't play the lotto. But if I ever came into a large sum of money, nobody outside of my household would ever know about it.

This would explain why it's mostly old people here.

Welp, at least he didn't attempt to lie about what he was doing when he was so obviously caught red handed. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

Not for nothin' but....how is it possible for this woman to look so good for her age whilst her hubby looks like he's just approaching 90?

I doubt he's even discovered fire yet.
