From what I can tell "praxis" means ordering bad lattes in local cafes that will only be in business for a few months that provide dumbed down pamphlets on socialism and JO crystals etc, so that you can tell everyone they should read The Literature.

At least this is from everyone I've met that has ever used the term with a straight face anyway.

Edit: I've been informed praxis is when you tell people they need to do praxis.

What cafes are selling JO crystals? So like I can avoid going there.

Honestly people who try to paint is as "Jon Stewart said 'both sides are the same'" are loving idiots because that's not at all what he said. His point -- which was crystal clear if you're not drinking the loving rage koolaid -- was "we should be able to do better than two senile old men as choices; but that's what we've got -- but loving hell Trump is a horrible person".

This loving "toe the line and never say anything bad about our side's candidate" poo poo is toxic. It's toxic when the right does it and we're more than happy to point that out; but it's also sure as gently caress toxic when the left does it too.

I’m 3rd party candidate or maybe abstaining this time.

Maybe y'all should just change your voting and electoral system to stop blatant and prolific gerrymandering and the completely segregated two party system.

america almost certainly won't collapse any time soon but it will take a serious crisis to shift the current 2 party system, yeah. thankfully both parties are working hard to develop such a crisis

Oh, word? I'll go write a constitutional amendment requiring rank choice voting in all elections, and get that passed in congress and 3/4ths of the states. Annnnnnnd done! So easy! I can't believe nobody bothered to fix this before, it only took a few hours.


I don't think tv funny man will save us from the 2 party system, but I also don't blame him for existing inside it.

I'm old enough to remember Ross Perot's candidacy. He absolutely had a legitimate chance as 3rd party candidate until he went off the rails with bizarre accusations and his persona wore thin. Looking it up he finished with 18.9% of the vote. This was a guy who was not smooth, charismatic or anything like that. What I recall, before he got weird, was he sold himself as a straight shooter businessman focused on fiscal issues. It's not inconceivable to me that a self-funded (extremely rich, effectively) person could beat these two relics or compete with a chance to win in a future election but here we are.

E: His wikipedia entry is pretty fascinating. His best polling was 39% in the Gallup. He got weird and the wheels fell off and he still approached 20%. I was going to vote for him early on, as a young dumbass but still.
