  • The ONLY chance the US had for a third party was back when Teddy Roosevelt ran in the Bull Moose party. He was already a president with a major party and wanted another run but the party didn’t like his socialist agenda. (I’m simplifying)

    If he would have won, we probably would still have a 2 party system. 1 of the parties would have adapted to the Bull Moose party.

    We need to elect people that will support the change to RCV. Dems seem more favorable to this.











  • Quick story. My wife and I were at a petting zoo waiting in line to go pet the animals. After the group in front cleared out a bit they opened the gate for the next group to go. Well, we are child free and the gate person just assumed the kid behind us was ours. They let the kid run in with us and closed the gate on the kids actual parents. It took them a minute to realize oh I closed that too early and those 2 adults have no kid.

    We enjoyed our time because we like animals. A lot of kids do share our passion for animals so I kinda get what you are saying.
