This is funny. People used to recommend calling/mailing your local Congress representative and try to get them to do something about their particular concern. Now that Congress is completely partisan and just follows the top down party line, people are recommending to do one of the least effective way for a single person to effect change, electing the President, where even a single person in a swing state has a minuscule chance of affecting the outcome.
- sudosysgen 6y agoI believe they were talking about electing the third party candidate from the PSL.
- newen 6y agoDon't even know what to say about this. I'll probably vote third party but I'm not going to pretend it's going to have any effect whatsoever on what the eventual Democrat or Republican president would do about Assange.
- sudosysgen 6y agoI agree, it won't do much, I just wanted to clarify what I'm pretty sure they meant.
- Simon_says 6y agoI was not specifically talking about the PSL. But you could pick a president by sortition of eligible citizens and practically be guaranteed a better choice than Biden or Trump.
