Comment on Can we impeach the pedophiles now?

Until people start consistently showing up and and show people on the real left can win, we’re constantly going to be doing this.
Every cycle we decide to hold our votes to SeNd A mEsSaGe pushes us further and further to the right, which makes people rely on stupid purity politics arguments (like we saw in 16 and 24) that’s just the biggest footgun in our arsenal.

It’s always going to be razor thin margins because it’s a two party System and first past the post.
Anything that doesn’t address that problem is just window dressing

And you can’t get rid of FPTP if you don’t bother to show up and get people who care and want it to be improved. 1/3 of the population not voting is how you get the razor thin margins, blaming the system is a copout - sorry, ‘window dressing’ - and isn’t actually addressing the problem.
