    As a European I always felt the US doesn’t have enough choices on their ballots. However, now is not the time to change it. First, the US democracy must be defended. Only after that it can be optimized.

      Honestly, stfu. “Nows not the time to change it” has been an excuse for far too many elections now. If we don’t start changing it now we never will. Pacifism and apathy is just as bad. It will never be a great time for change because by it’s very nature, change is hard. If it were easy, we’d be doing it already.

      The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. The next best time is today.

      Bush became president after losing the popular vote and then started a war that killed over a million people.

      What fucking democracy?
