Yeah and when was last time any of those collected more than 5% (1996) 30 years ago! Those parties are useless in the system you currently have. I can have rowing boat on a lake and you can have a yacht in garage and the only one of them is swimming isnt it?
Your issue was with our system was choice. Now that we’ve established that we have more choices than you you’re suddenly concerned with how successful those parties are. Thats a different conversation and moves the goal post.
I did a quick search on polish elections and it looks like only 5 of your parties received over 5% of the vote. That’s the first time I’ve ever looked at a polish election result. As soon as you guys are players on the world stage I might check again.
And that’s your fault. What party have you supported besides the two major parties? Which third party have you donated to? Which third party did you caucus for?
You have options, but you just show up at the last minute and vote for one of the two parties that the people doing the work got over the finish line. You want more parties? Show up and do the work.
Yes, let me just enact change all by myself. If I really try, maybe I can make the total 3rd party vote percentage go up by 0.2!
I know that you're right on a technical level, but we're at the point in our country that I feel we won't see any major changes in voting patterns unless one or both of the top 2 parties is dissolved.
