    I would never want to prevent democrats the right to vote how they want. Yet I am not allowed to vote how I want, while still being able to transfer my vote to them if my first pick didnt win?

    Democrats understand First-past-the-post voting is anti democratic in nature, and refuse to fix the issue between elections. while also using the flaws of the voting system as a club to senselessly beat anyone who strays from the group think they subscribe to. An abusive relationship IMO.

    Let’s put 3rd party voter’s innate desire for suffrage behind us for a moment to continue on. First-past-the-post voting ensures the country only gets one real chance to defeat the republicans. Dont you all want more chances to beat the Republicans? What if the democrats have another “bad election season”, shouldnt we want more options to choose from? More chances for the country to win as a whole against the republicans? If the republicans are a existential threat as the democrats say, shouldnt they be calling for backup?

    Perhaps the democrats maintaining their power and control is more important then stopping Trump and the republicans. Sorry blue conservatives, the United States of America is more important then the Democratic Party.
