You know I'm right 😏

I neither know nor care WTF you're yammering about. You used "then" when you should have used "than" though, and I cannot let that go without saying something.

You've presented no argument in favour. Just an assertion and the expectation that others engage with you.

"It's alright to vote 3rd party if you're not in a swing state" or something like that. The Overton window shifted away from the idea that there's some moral failing for voting for Biden because of the anti-voting astroturfing that happened recently.

I agree. My distant hope is that the republican party will weaken to the point that the left-wing of America will be able to take advantage of the Vaccum left behind. The events talking place in the GOP are remarkably similar to what the whig party did right before they became irrelevant.

Then vs than

Wish you would. 🤌🏽

I've cleaned up this toxic comment thread and littleblue has got a temp community ban. I had originally left the parent comment for context, but have removed it at OPs request.

I’m just saying, your logic only works if enough people dont follow it. That kind of makes it bad advice.

When you’re aligning yourself with pro-fascists—or at least have the exact same tactics (minus an exception), you cannot be on the right side of history.

I’ve been wrestling with this for my whole life. I was a young anarchist, I’ve been a third party voter most of that time. Now I’m an adult anarchist. And…I just can’t bring myself to do exactly what pro-fascists are pushing for people just like me to do.

We all get it. The system is broken. Two party systems are doomed to be a road to fascism. We are reaching the end of that road. None of us can stomach what’s happening in Gaza. But gambling with an even more pro-genocide candidate winning just…can’t be tolerated. It doesn’t make emotional sense. Because we can’t stomach supporting someone who is participating in genocide. It hurts. But it’s kind of on us to bear the brunt of that conundrum because we are fighting bald-faced fascism. Getting to hold your head up high because you didn’t support the guy aiding in a genocide is a pretty small victory for gambling with the lives of Palestinian people. Trump wants to “finish” the situation in Gaza. And not in a good way.

It’s a shitty situation for us to have to negotiate. But we’re not the ones gambling with our own lives. We’re gambling with the lives of trans people, women who need abortions, those living in poverty, the environment…just so we can “send a measage?”

The system is arranged to keep third parties from being viable. Voting for them just doesn’t make sense, because there is no changing that without changing the system. Especially in this election. Because we are staring down the barrel of fascism, for one, and secondly, there isn’t enough support for the idea to really have the impact you want. It can only go bad. Waiting until the day of the election to send that message or put some plan to change things in place is so incredibly foolish when you consider all you’re gambling with. You want to change things? Put in the groundwork, year in, year out.

All you’re doing is throwing extra danger into the pot and supporting the people who are pushing your same messaging in order to see trump win. Just…how can you justify it?

Thanks you strangers ☺️. I didn't have a good education growing up. I actually grew up in a cult. I managed to leave on my own when I was 16. Since I've gotten myself a degree but I've never really gotten spelling and grammar completely figured out. There are a lot of things I honestly just missed out on basic education wise.

I always assume the people focus on that have no way of reasonably disagreeing with me. I guess they just get mad they're wrong 🤷. Just a bunch of classist elitist assholes who couldn't think their way out of a paper bag.
