    this is the biggest, most obvious chance to shift the democrats towards the left in decades, all you gotta do to show them that y’all won’t support genocide is vote third party just enough to give the third parties 10% of the vote and then let all the media run wild with the idea that neither of the party has approval

    and y’all will still vote for an old genocidal white guy just as long as there’s a slightly worse alternative? isn’t that just incentive for the democrats to be slightly worse than worst? won’t that just push the overton window to the right?

    voting anything other than third party is complicity with genocide

        “Rewarding democrats for sprinting further and further right while instituting half the shit they’re supposedly protecting us from and pushing to strip the red tape from kneecapping leftists orgs will be the best thing for the left! Trust me bro!”

        Ever notice how with Republicans (which y’all can’t shut up about being “the end”) its all about coalition building and meeting halfway, but with the leftists (which y’all love to blame for any and every dem loss) its “shut the ruck up you’re stupid babies with stupid baby ideas, now shut the ruck up and vote Biden or everything is your fault specifically?”

        D and R platforms and priorities are 85% the same picture, the only real issue is “Christian fascism or fascism waving a pride flag?” Democrats are mid right and always have been, the quiet part is just out loud now and they see leftists as way bigger enemies than they EVER have Republicans.

        This meme is a prime example of blue MAGA misinformation. Nobody is saying don’t vote, but dems NEED people to think anybody who isn’t voting for a duopoly candidate is actually a Russian plant pushing for apathy instead of one of a growing percentage of engaged Americans tired of voting for faschie A or faschie B.

      The media won’t run wild with the idea that none of the parties have public approval when all media outlets work for at least one major political party or the other.

      Why would party agents undermine the perceived legitimacy of the party they work for?

        if you believe that then you must also believe there’s no way to change either party from the status quo and thus basically no reason to vote for a mainstream candidate anyways

      Seriously couldn’t have said it better myself. Sure, at this time, could probably argue that voting left is better than voting right, but they’re both still shit, have their selfish goals, and rather act on fear mongering bullshit and pretend they got something done rather than fixing an actual problem.

      We need someone who understands actual problems with our country rather than completly focusing on what’s on a person’s laptop or arguing that a gun brace allows a gun to shoot a higher caliber. We need someone who’s down to earth, honest, doesnt alright with the B.S. from either parties, and gets shit done, fixed, and problems solved.

      I know it’s not realistic for me to expect a different outcome this time, but it’s seriously time we get independent parties involved in our government who’s focus is to serve the people, not just themselves.
