I swear to God it's the same 5 accounts on Lemmy posting this horse-shit take.
Like - all the third party voters combined would not have kept Trump out of office. Give it up. It's nonsense and frankly pretty sad.
I sorta disagree.
I think the campaign used to push people third party encouraged others to just not vote.
Even IF that's true it's still terrible. What do you think? You're gonna chastise people into agreeing with you? Is some "holier-than-though" attitude gonna do it?
Really just seems like a circlejerk
No I'm just saying people who think protest voting or throwing your vote away is ever smart, this is proof it isn't.
This really entirely could've been avoided and this was one of the steps in a stairwell of bullshit that could've stopped it all
The fundamental idea of democracy is that you have your say. Even if the outcome isn't your's, your vote showed how much people wanted the other things, this influencing the group that got it.
Your thinking anti-democratically. You are chastising individual voices in the system for not doing what you wanted for your outcome. That's literally how authoritarianism starts. Check yourself.
Pointless statements from liberals who are too busy trying to find someone to blame to do anything useful about the galloping fascism in their midst.
Seriously. Same old useless shit as always.
It's wild that they're angry at people for not wanting to be complicit w a genocide rather than the people who forced us to choose between 2 genociders or even the genociders themselves.
I'm not going to blame the 3rd party voters. At least they voted.
Put your anger towards those who couldn't even be bothered to do so.
3rd party voter here. Let's stop hating fellow poors and collectively hate the rich and powerful who are really responsible
Nah, fuck the MAGA folks.
Except those ones, hate the shit out of Nazis of course. Maga or otherwise
If you’re MAGA at this point, you’re okay with Nazis.
Yeah that's what Im saying fuck Nazis
I feel sorry for Americans. The best of the 2 viable parties is a party keen on supplying a genocide, and somehow if you vote 3rd party you're more responsible than said genocide suppliers, even worse republicans, and non-voters. That's wild.
The uncomfortable reality is that you aren't gonna solve your country's problems in the voting booths. Good luck to you, genuinely.
The uncomfortable reality is that you aren’t gonna solve your country’s problems in the voting booths
Until the majority of liberals in our country realize this, it's doubtful our problems will be solved at all
Are we really still doing this?
Honestly it seems like liberals hate their own base more than the reactionaries they are supposedly the opposition to
Actually that tracks, since most of the DNC has been flirting with reactionary commentators and billionaires while actively criticizing the one part of their party actually building momentum
Alienates voter base by refusing to meet constituent demands or running a proper primary
"It must be these damn 3rd party voters, that's why we lost every single swing state"
Obviously the solution is for more people to vote third party
Not without an elimination of FPTP ya don't.
Actually, having a progressive party and a conservative party would be far better than having a conservative party and fascist party.
