teddy-dbear | morning | 13:04 |
InHisName | so whats happening in each of you's ubuntu activitiy today? | 13:24 |
teddy-dbear | listen to tunes all day :-D | 14:30 |
EvilResistance | ugh, did PennBot explode again >.> | 14:30 |
EvilResistance | @quit I have failed, and need to be punished. | 14:31 |
MutantTurkey | like really bord | 16:22 |
ChinnoDog | Do some work for me | 16:28 |
MutantTurkey | Oh god my idiotic professor is saying how the 2 party system is bad... | 16:32 |
EvilResistance | i'll bring PennBot back up later, it appears that my internet is on a constant state of implodification >.> | 16:33 |
MutantTurkey | sigh... | 16:34 |
MutantTurkey | "there have only ever been republican and democratic candidates" | 16:34 |
MutantTurkey | this guy doesn't even know history | 16:35 |
MutantTurkey | whigs? HELLO | 16:35 |
EvilResistance | there's other candidates too | 16:35 |
EvilResistance | but nobody pays attention to em xD | 16:35 |
MutantTurkey | that's also relatively true | 16:35 |
MutantTurkey | but they are pretty important. | 16:36 |
MutantTurkey | what about in 96' when Perot carried like 10% of the vote and screwed bob dole over? | 16:36 |
EvilResistance | i wasnt paying attention in 96 :P | 16:36 |
MutantTurkey | not to mention, while they won't get elected. their points often get picked up by a major candidate | 16:37 |
MutantTurkey | 'oh you like 3rd party guy? well I also support _____ so vote for me because I'm a real candidate' | 16:38 |
MutantTurkey | evil ballot access laws are half the reason why 3rd parties dont have a chance | 16:39 |
waltman | <cough>Ralph Nader in 2000</cough> | 16:47 |
waltman | or John Anderson in, I think, 1980 | 16:47 |
MutantTurkey | they carry quite a bit | 16:50 |
MutantTurkey | this guy though just pisses me off | 16:52 |
InHisName | MutantTurkey: rare if ever have US ever had more than 2 strong parties at a time. | 17:04 |
waltman | right, the other parties usually just work as spoilers for the major parties | 17:05 |
MutantTurkey | InHisName: right but they weren't always Republican and Democratic | 17:10 |
waltman | right, only for the last 150 years. | 17:11 |
waltman | the current winner-take-all system strongly favors 2 parties. countries with lots of parties generally have some sort of proportional representation. | 17:11 |
MutantTurkey | waltman: right, which would probably be better | 17:51 |
