It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I disagree. The problems with a multiparty system are the problems with democracy: most people have no understanding of the problems they're voting on. It's still representative of what people want, it's just that people are stupid.
This is in contrast to a two-party system, which has all the problems of a multiparty system but tacks on fun things like "doesn't actually represent what people want, but tries to avoid what people don't want." In a two-party system, you vote people out rather than voting people in.
You are comparing potential with reality, this is exactly how it work in the current conditions, because this is how it is made to work, minor parties are still excluded by the election rules favouring major parties, it's just not that blatantly undemocratic as US system.
Funny that you mention it, because it is exactly like "multi" party system works too, ultimately you're up to two candidates or two major parties and you vote for the one you hate less, with "electability" and all the major bullshit, and the two parties are almost everywhere where such systems exist, liberal and conservative. Just they are never able to form the government by themselves, so that's why there is also secondary liberal and conservative parties around. Imagine the usual single capital party having not two wings but 3-5. And all of them only represent the capitalists and compradors.
