@stux Really? Wow, I never would have thought you could support someone like Biden, yikes.
I honestly would have expected you to lean towards a candidate more in line with european ethics than someone like biden...
re: #VOTE
Your statement didn't actually state why/if I was wrong.. We have 4 main parties, those parties get on our ballots every year, they are all equally eligible for president and can win a presidential seat under all the same rules as any other candidate.
So yes, we absolutely have four main parties. I never made any claim as to how often or how likely they are to win, so not sure what that has to do with anything. As i covered americans rarely vote for good candidates, so sure, any good choice is going to be an uphill battle. But that really doesnt in the elast invalidate what I said. Just because americans by their nature arent likely to vote for good candidates it doesnt mean those candidates suddenly stop existing.
re: #VOTE
I used the word "main" not "major", these have subtle but important differences in meaning.
Major, like the word majority, is a word that implies you hold a large portion of the support. I did not and would not use that word.
I used the term main, which implies principality or authority more so than a quantity of support.
Yes I'd call any **main** party one which is on the ballot and has equal right and access to the presidency, particularly considering there are only a few such parties, sot here is a clear divide between main/principle parties and not.
Don't mince words here, you are trying to imply something very different than I am. You are trying to talk about what parties tend to get votes (approach majority, are major).. which is unrelated entirely to what I am saying, which what parties are main (have access to be on the ballot with equal privilege to win).
