    It means you’re bad at strategy and privileged enough to not be too harmed by Republican policies.

        I haven’t been s Democrat in decades. I also understand how first past the post works.

        The current situation sucks, but we’re stuck in it. Provide an alternative strategy that doesn’t rely on hopes and dreams, and I’m in.

          Mate, your strategy is literally “do not criticize the party!”

          You’re on no position to accuse other people of relying on hopes and dreams.

              What is the purpose of demanding to people online that they don’t criticize The Party?

                To try and get everyone pulling the same direction so we don’t lose again, and to get people to understand that FPTP is not about voting FOR a good candidate. It’s about voting AGAINST the bad.

        Yep! It’s their fault. They failed to vote.

        Also, they were dressed to sexily, so of course this happened.
