The people who are to blame are the Republicans. That is where you need to direct your anger.

I’m not angry. I regret voting third-party in an election that barely elected Bush, a year before 9/11, that he used to justify a two front war resulting in nearly one million deaths. I’m encouraging others to learn from my mistake.

Sure but we keep losing sight of what is truly pushing us over the edge

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Wanting a three party system but the government won’t comply?

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I was going with a single party trying to install an autocrat.

What do you suggest people do about it this election?

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I think they should vote back in Trump and let him dismantle American democracy /s

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

So you don’t have a suggestion? Because like it or not, Trumps base will vote him in if we don’t suck it up and vote for Biden.

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I'm voting Biden despite it not meaning very much in my deep red state. I show up for down ballot elections, though. The presidency is only one hurdle. Reclaiming the government at state and local levels is way more important.
