Can I get a smug lecture on how you’re choosing the third, disconnected track?

    People have been electing democrats on and off for over a century. Yet it changed nothing. But sure, 3rd party voting is the thing that can’t succeed. Doing the same thing again and again hoping for a different outcome is clearly the smarter thing to do.

    But sure, if we just accept genocide and vote for it, at least the gas will be cheaper. Sure. Why not.

      Wrong, and there’s literally decades of legislation that you can review to see for yourself.

      Go vote for 3rd party local government officials. If you want a 3rd party to be viable, this is the way.

        Yeah, decades of things like:

        • Foreign interventions
        • More fracking
        • No universal healthcare.
        • No codified Roe v Wade.
        • increased police budgets
        • Increased military spending
        • Crackdowns on peaceful protesters
        • Legislation making it illegal to be homeless
        • Just straight up genocide

        But hey, at least they’ll sign the Paris Agreement (they wont do anything to actually achieve the goals set out by it though), so you can feel good about yourself as the president drone-strikes another wedding
