My voting strategy is super easy. You don't need to keep up with politics or policy. Just see who the KKK is voting for and then vote for the other guy.
As an outsider, it's really depressing to hear you only get two parties to choose from.
We have to keep it forever though, because some dead slave owners thought up the perfect government, apparently.
by far my favorite part about this is that thomas jefferson thought the constitution should be rewritten from scratch every 25 years but that hasn't stopped every conservative politician ever from treating it like gospel
"Constitution Originalists."
And we can't change it because "if we don't just keep following the system, we might elect Hitler. Don't vote third party, that's throwing your vote away and then the other guy will win".
There's no winning. Only us constantly losing.
Well, we get more, but realistically there's only two.
There were a few times the Klan rallied behind progressive pro-civil rights candidates to intentionally sabotage them, but this tactic doesn't get used today.
That's pretty good! Mine is similar: I check which feces-smearing insurrection has attendees with the "Camp Auschwitz" hoodies and vote against their candidate.
This works 100% of the time.
Don't they regularly declare they're voting for Democrats as a dog whistle?
You shouldn't have just one other guy though. KKK might prefer one, but be ok with the other as well.
I yes it have so great outcomes so far lmao /s
Still better than the alterrnative
Would you rather have AIDS or long COVID?
... I can't tell if you are being serious because the answer is fuckdamn obvious.
Ok then, please give us your arms for injection. Democracy is a nutshell. Coolios for standing up against aids by voting for covid.
bruh it's a joke from south park ffs. I'm not even the guy you're arguing with

Oh my apologies buddy didn't get the reference :3
ya, the KKK was only in power for 4 years when everyone was upset about Bernie not winning!
Not my problem buddy. Fix your fucking country.
By...not participating?
Not in their game at least.
Come on. If it was a one time thing, I would understand, but using fascism as a scarecrow is pretty much an integral part of centrist strategy nowadays. And it will lead to fascism.
