Bottom post of the previous page:

Generally, this sidestepping happens through disenfranchisement of the voting population ("It doesn't matter what I vote, they'll do the worst shit anyway" -And then doesn't vote), ignorance of policians (Businesses lobbying telling them about how their science department found that drilling for oil is not harmful to the environment and smoking is healthy, gib subsidy plx. While the regular people only rarely talk to their politician), or flat out fraud making it so the votes don't matter (Gerrymandering, crooked or poorly secured election machines, a few people counting mail-in votes making up some more votes for their prefered candidates, etc), or even something as simple as the media blacklisting a potential candidate to stop their message from getting out, or a politician being blackmailed with photos of him doing something really bad.

There are a lot of ways for democracy to go very wrong, but at the very least politicians tend to be more accountable than the king who ruled by 'divine right' in medieval times

Sure, and most of those issues are legitimate in at least a few cases. Some of them are extremely widespread. But I think they can be solved with reform; I don't think we're at an impasse that requires burning everything down and starting over.

You're an idiot if you think democracy has failed and we need a new system. Hell the voting system works pretty damn well, it's just in the US the canddates aren't very good this year-- no offense Trump.

Anyone live in Tucson, Arizona?
You need to go to the clown rally this Saturday and grab some pictures.
Bonus points if you do so dressed either as the mime or wearing a red jumpsuit.

About a week ago.

So what happens if a third party candidate gets enough votes to make it impossible for all sides to get above 270?

Re: 2k16 /pol/

If there's nobody with 270 votes, they run the vote again with the top two from the tie I think.

>Trump has bad foreign policy

You have to be absolutely fucked to think that. Hillary wants to push against Russia. Trump wants to stay the hell out of it. He also wants to enforce immigration laws, vet those coming into the country, rework/get rid of NAFTA/TPP/all the trade deals other countries get. Yet he breaks off from the right on healthcare and wants to make it so people who can't afford it can still get it. Trump is the very definition of a human candidate. He has his flaws but he knows what the common man wants.

It's also funny how people scream "WELL HE TALKED DIRTY ABOUT WOMEN!" and they all turn out to be tumblr tier people. Even when you point out the Shelton case and Bill's and Hill's harassment of Bill's victims, the massive list of people they've offed, and a ton of other shit, they say "WELL TRUMP IS IMMORAL I'M VOTING MORALLY!". What's moral about voting for Hillary with what I said before? Trump is the far better choice.

People give /pol/ a lot of crap and rightfully so, it's full of cancer. However, some people on there are seriously dedicated and have pieced together a ton of information on Clinton's activities.

We got a coalition here in the old world that obliterated the third party and ensured the bigger one's place. Has Murica ever had a "oalition before? Because if not, I imagine you'd probably go straight to a second vote, maybe not stopping voting for third parties because demooocracy. Now I'm sounding like that anti-AV video. Maybe you'd just have to suck it up without a majority. This is where FPTP falls down if the entire point is to get a majority gummerment.
Reminder that the nazi's didn't actually win an election but got in as a minor party to the german conservative party.
