Reality begs to differ, a third candidate always splits the votes of an already established candidate and on whichever side of the spectrum they're on decides which candidate loses them
"I didn't stage a nutty ..." No, Amy, you did that BEFORE you lost. Remember cutting the cord to his house phone and boiling his cell? Right here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QETrQg5IJN4.html Seriously, y'all can talk about how cute or smart or whatever-you-find-endearing Amy was, but it's crap. She was insufferable, selfish, hypocritical even beyond the D.C. norm ... basically, going by today's standards, she may be the most "real" character on the show, and that's not a compliment.
I don't really like Amy. But that last point she made about taking votes was dead on. That selfish "team player" mentality is exactly what pisses me off about the two dominant party system in elections
That's the reality. In a first past the post system, the election is always between 2 parties. All a 3rd candidate does is siphon off votes from the candidate they are most aligned with.
Except Sanders didn't run as an independent because he knew all it would do is split the dem vote and hand the republicans a big win. The problem is your first past the post system.
Definitely not. Bernie ran in the primary, and when he lost, he fully backed his team. This situation is closer to Ralph Nader/Jill Stein. It might apply to Bernie's supporters, though, even if not Bernie himself.
How can a person abuse every position and relationship in their life to chase often impossible goals and then be angry when other people win. She claims to be nonchalant about "losing the fight," but doesn't seem to understand that dropping someone's phone in a pot of soup, or trying to put words in the mouth of the first lady are unacceptable. She constantly plays a victim while treating others like shit.
It's good to see the primary characters get the wind taken out of them from time to time. They definitely are arrogant, in a largely positive way, but I like it when someone else legitimately gets the better of them. It was what kept TWW from being entirely a liberal fantasy.
Has anyone notice josh and the president have not talked since the argument in season 3 we killed Yamato. I think josh should be mad at President not Amy
+shihoblade She's using the fallacy of equivocation around the word "his". Not his votes by right but certainly his in the sense of "will get most of them if the 3rd candidate drops out".
shihoblade, you have 1 Republican candidate, 1 democratic candidate, and 1 candidate from a 3rd party all running for a specific elective body that has only 1 seat to fill. One of those candidates gets 34% of the total vote, another one gets 33% of the total vote, and the 3rd one gets 32% of the total vote. Not knowing which person gets how many votes...........what do you say about the outcome?
@@nudist0885 I say that's precisely why more countries should adopt preferential voting systems. Winner takes all is particularly bad at representing the vote.
