except that you could end up with a 3rd entrance by doing that ... eventually

No you won't.
But if you put the door in while building the house (local and primary elections) you'll have installed it at the right time.

I think you'd have brain damage way before you get to that point

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 9 points 2 months ago

so not only would you have an extra door you'd still be smarter than people voting 3rd party in a first past the post system. Win/Win

Depends on how cheap the drywall is.

You may avoid brain damage, but your get cancer form the dust on the way through.

Especially if you ram that not-door long, hard, deep, and strong enough, really get up in there and penetrate that wall. If you run out of steam you could even switch to an electric appliance, but in that case be gentle (though not too gentle...).

Um.... I'm not sure where this is going, and at this point I'm afraid to continue? ๐Ÿ˜”

Vote me again, daddy!

You'll get a boatload of spoiler effect elections until people start voting tactically again. Third parties need to start locally and not participate in the presidential elections for a long time.

There is a path to voter reform by creating hung parliament and require voter reform in a coalition agreement. Once dominant running for governor or a senator becomes possible.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
