I wonder what percentage of Doritos fans bother to vote? 🤔

It’s a fucked up time to be an American.

Because our chips have proportional representation.

AIPAC Red and AIPAC Blue

Priorities 😊

It's literally the same system for both

That's nothing! France has 1600 different types of cheese. And 15 major political parties... And over 100 active registered political parties. The real difference is that the USA is a shithole, but France is not. 😉

Blame the electoral system.

Is your favorite flavor of Doritos red or blue?

It's the same thing packaged in different ways but regular vs cool ranch was not enough choices for snax.

realistically we only have 1

Obviously, it's not just sexism that is STUPID!

🙄🙄

I'm thinking I'd rather have a Dorito running the country right now, than what we have.

BECAUSE................all their taste is in their mouths. 😏😜

Freedumb

Some nations are one party states. The US is a two party state. The two parties are integrated into our government and the US is not really a democracy. www.bbc.com/news/blogs-e...

Donkeys, elephants, and now introducing salsa sharks.

Japan has more varieties of KitKat.

Ever hear of the Green Party? The Party for Socialism and Liberation? Really, you embarrass yourself. There are a lot of other parties available.

Priorities

Bernie told Carvelle to start his own political party. I think he should have instead of f'ng up the Democratic party. If he believes so much in The DSA, why didn't they turn that into a political party?

There are 37? F me! I thought there were only three. Similar to the number of spines in the WHOLE OF FUCKING US CONGRESS!!!!!

It's math. With single-member districts and "first past the post" voting, a two-party system becomes almost inevitable. We need to switch to multi-member districts and use ranked-choice or preference voting. #FAirvote #RCV

Illusion of choice

Meanwhile in Portugal we have more political parties than potato chips flavors 🤣

we have more than 2, but only those 2 ever have a shot at the national level

It's all about creating an illusion of choice where none exists. Fifty brands of cigarettes that all give you cancer, a hundred soft drinks that all rot your teeth, ninety TV stations that are all full of adverts.

it's ridiculous ...our system of govt is bonkers ...if you look at many other democratic countries you start to understand that our's is such a bad version.

More is not always better.

I, for one, will be joining the "Cool Ranch" party as soon as it becomes available! 😂

Maybe it's because you need to decide if you are talking about North, Central or South Americans. I learned in grade school the US is not America, it is OF America. We're you not paying attention?

Bread and Circuses

Would it come as a surprise if I told you I can hardly stomach any of the 39 things you mentioned?

I don’t believe dorito flavors set the bar. In any case we US Americans do have more than one party, not enough people like them. Probably because they have 💩 candidates.

although Doritos all taste like burnt cardboard covered n pepper to me lol

We only have 37 flavors of Doritos?

It’s supposed to make it seem like we have choices in life when, in fact, it’s only a charade. Kind of like the wizard of oz, you know.

I think there's one clip out there that can explain both at the same time.

And one of them is far-left communist run by sharia, fascist marxists or something, something something... I dunno.

I mean... technically as doritos have different flavors so do dems. We have darn near right leaning members (fetterman, guh), centrists (shumer), progressive (obama), and more left leaning (aoc). Now a far leftists may be so far out they can't see the differences. But they are there.

And the bags of Doritos are smarter than one of those parties

Another #Uniparty shill

I say we vote for a Dorito…we’ve already tried the taco

In the 2024 election, the Democratic Party sued to keep 3rd Party candidates off the ballots, even if they met the qualifications required to be on them.

You can’t have a taco pizza without taco Doritos, I don’t know where you’re going, but tread carefully!😆😆🤣

Bleh

It's called priorities.

Crunch all you want, we’ll make more. 😎

Well, we do like Doritos.

Interestingly all of these are bad for your health. Doritos and the parties.

Actually, 1 party with 2 right wings…one farther right than the other.

We aint got no fuckin brain dude!

I know, right????

Theres only two dorritos flavors. Red And blue.

We have one party with two sides, which are equivalent to "good cop / bad cop". They come at you very differently, but their goals are roughly the same. If we had popular vote runoff elections, you'd see other parties rise, and that's why we never will.

Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Cool Ranch Socialist Party ?

Same way women got the right to vote. Protest enough and force your state legislature to adopt it. Then when enough states are doing it, force the Fed to do it.

I think rankless multiple choice voting works better. You vote for the candidates you like, regardless of how many, and the candidates with the most votes win. This further allows for having a clear idea of who the favored runner up is.

Explain?

And this has now become my default emotion when listening to any democrats or democratic pundits wonking out over electability. RCV is *such* a simple concept, and it's completely unacceptable for it not to be one of *the* biggest talking points in the progress-o-sphere.

That's what we've had in the UK for most of my life but lately there's been a real divergence with five or more parties in play nationally. Our voting system of course doesn't reflect that and needs changing for the same reasons.

But all the parties except the greens take money from the same billionaire and corporate sponsors, who have demanded manifesto editing privileges for their contributions.

Well, Doritos are actually good for something.

We don't even get paprika flavored.

The 37 flavors are all from one of the three major players in the industry - PepsiCo, Mondelēz International, and Nestle. It's the illusion of competition by the oligopolies that run pretty much all the major industries in the US.

We need Ranked Choice Voting - unfortunately both sides know they are fucked when we get it....

There's actually less difference between the 37 Doritos than there is between the Republicrats.

1. You don't have time. Your country is already filling death camps. 2. You should know it will take a revolution because you've already admitted that you can't exercise real democratic power over a system with the EC. If that won't change, how can you change it?

Agreed. The Constitution kinda has something to do with all of this

We don’t have “two parties” to choose from. We have a self-enabling mafia crime family - and we have a Democratic Party. Until the mafia is completely removed from our government - we have ONE party.

A lot of money goes into keeping us distracted

Yes. Were you implying both parties are the same, and using this as proof, to justify telling the original poster they were ignorant in their comparison? If something has been lost in the feed and caused a misunderstanding on my part, let me know.

😢

“Freedom” is an illusion.

First Past The Post voting systems always turn into two party systems

Seriously tho, we only eat the red and blue ones. All of the others combined probably account for like 13% of Doritos voters. I mean products.

I suspect because for the majority that wouldn’t mean they would have to think. And they don’t want to. There are a small percentage who are willing to do the extra work to pick a party, but they are a very small percentage and usually not the ones with the big bucks to start something. 

What aboutisms: 1. The Libertarian Party, on the ballot in 35 states. 2. The Green Party, on the ballot in 20 states. 3. The Constitution Party, on the ballot in 12 states. 4. The Working Families Party, on the ballot in 3 states. There are 55 political parties ballotpedia.org/List_of_poli...

more than two political parties would bring far more disruption, division and grid-lock than we already have. you really need to find something to focus on that makes sense, simplifies our over-arching problems and lives in the world of reality.

That’s big nacho chip energy for you

Because much like Doritos the parties are owned by the same companies

This is stupid

Priorities. Amirite?

It was an improvement over what came before, but yeah, that part definitely needs revision.

it’s because only two burgers butger and cheese burger

Just like we have more soft serve ice cream choices, it's all a shame against us.

Moneyed interests have latched onto the biggest two parties, in particular bankrolling the Republicans as to get everything they could ever want from them. More generous tax code and write offs for billionaires, the ability to rip off student lenders, and of course feeding the MCI beast.

Not having a chance of winning does not mean it isnt a choice. Could be the implication was that the 2 main parties are "the same," which is not true unless you "Do YoUr Own ReSeArCh 🤪"

And one of the flavors Doritos got rid of is taco. I wish the U.S. could get rid of taco too.

Duverger’s Law is a real sonofabitch.

It's the Electoral College which forces everything into two party lanes.

Political parties suck taste wise Bland and blander But I agree we need to spice our political choices up with more variety

It is a tyranny of the wealthy. No one in their right mind wants Dr. Pepper flavored Tic Tacs or cares about Elle flavored Ice sodas, but since CEO multi-millionaires and billionaires have no real problems and consider themselves geniuses, this is the stupid culture the rich have given us.

I think it has something to do with Articles I and II of the Constitution. And farm subsidies.

We have to choose between the party that's completely subservient to capital interest or the party that's completely subservient to capital interest and also wants to start a biblical appocalypse.

www.npr.org/2022/07/15/1... One example of many. Pay attention to politics.

💯

There is one party and that is in desperate need of reform and a loooong look into the mirror. And than there is a cult. It's a suicide cult and nobody knows, if anybody is going to stop it. There is no one right now, capable. It's a faster and faster downward spiral.

Been a Green Party activist since I figured out that both parties do too many things the same. We need more respect for diversity!
