    Except we can’t do that right now when we’re literally fighting fascism.

    I used to tell everyone to vote third party, then Trump arrived… Ever since I’ve been voting for the dem clowns to keep the dangerous, insane people away from power as best I can.

    I consider America broken right now. We can’t stop to fight for ideals until we fix it. Fixing it means de-radicalising the republican party by making them lose elections and re-structure away from fascism.

      In the USA third parties make no sense until we change voting from FPTP to for example RCV.

      I similarly got fooled in 2016, and while my state voted for Hillary, I still regret voting 3rd party after realizing that with FPTP the only purpose of a 3rd party is to steal votes from your 2nd choice.

      You have 40 years of history to definitively prove to yourself that voting Democrats fixes nothing.

      But sure.

      Go for it. Maybe in another 40 years the country will be so terribly broken that none of them wwill want it anymore.

        Voting Democratic Party might not fix anything, but it won’t make things worse.

        Unlike you who supports Trump and fascism. Don’t worry, you won’t be saved. Realize that.

          Incorrect. The next Democratic administration could easily be worse than the current.

                It helps get him elected. Why the Russian trolls keep talking about voting for a third party to teach Biden a lesson.

                  only votes for trump help elect him.

                  and I’ve never seen anyone threaten to vote third party to teach Biden a lesson. I’m also interested in how you think you can identify a Russian troll.

                    Right right. You’re just a completely normal everyday person that does completely normal things like create a new account solely for the purpose of telling everyone multiple times an hour, every hour, for the past day and a half to not vote for a certain candidate.

                    Just like everyone else.

                    Edit. And shockingly you stopped commenting after this comment, and it just happens to be the middle of the night in most of Russia.

                    Huh.


                    Also your use of a very traumatized person’s name is disgusting and irresponsible.

      we’re literally fighting fascism.

      Have you seen how pro Palestinian protestors are treated?

      Have you crossed the thin blue line?

      Fascism IS here. We are only voting for our preferred flavor.
