Early voting had huge gains across the country this year, especially for the youth vote! Regardless of political affiliation, people are cluing in more into the electoral process and I love that.

| RCtheWSBC 11/06/18 3:54:54 PM #73 | Zangulus posted... Im not sure we can get much more splintered than we are now. About the only way I see it happening is actually the two majors breaking into subgroups. But neither wants to do that due to losing their Letter Based Voting Demographic. But if it did happen, it would be a good thing. More groups is what the country needs. And even if theyre originally based on the big two, it would open up space for more outliers to come in. I agree, a more parliamentary-style structure would be a nice change. Perhaps ranked choice voting? But these are the kind of systemic changes that won't be happening anytime soon, especially when we hover around sub-50% participation rates. I asked that question to you because I wonder to myself constantly where we're headed and how we will address it. It's quite hard to predict and depends on so much. --- https://imgur.com/1yl1fH0 the White-Sounding Black Chick |

| RCtheWSBC 11/06/18 3:46:16 PM #68 | I feel like people our age are so used to learning about history (sometimes in a shitty, shallow way) and take for granted that we can create just as much impact as the events we read in textbooks, or something. Like, we are a young country. We have history of revolution and protest throughout. Complacency is not an American ideal. I hate how fucked our systems are at because so many are disillusioned to participating in them. --- https://imgur.com/1yl1fH0 the White-Sounding Black Chick |

Sorry, I responded ASAP but then went back to read through the rest of your post. I still find your reasons as excuses for complacency. Guess we agree to disagree. I do have a question for you regarding this part: Zangulus posted... youre railroaded into two groups that have become nothing more than Us vs Them until everything breaks down. Which has been pretty evident lately. Where do you think will happen to the US in the short-term and long-term if our system continues to show splintering? Will you participate if everything fully breaks down? --- https://imgur.com/1yl1fH0 the White-Sounding Black Chick |

| RCtheWSBC 11/06/18 1:21:12 PM #24 | argonautweakend posted... There are things decided not just by who wins but by how many votes somebody gets, for example if I liked the green party I would vote so we could inch closer to the 5% needed in some places to get on the actual ballot next time. Great example. Florida missed out on legalizing marijuana in 2014 because the amendment needed to reach 60% approval by voters. I think it was like 56-58% in the end? I'll look it up. --- https://imgur.com/1yl1fH0 the White-Sounding Black Chick |
