still gonna vote for them over the GOP.
until a truly popular 3rd party candidate can honestly get enough votes. we’re stuck with the 2 we have. or until people rise up and take down the system
Or we get ranked-choice voting and other parties are a viable possibility. But of course, neither the GOP or Dems want to lose the iron grip of financing and power.
sadly ranked choice can still lead to 2 party system. it just ends the split vote problem. still better than first to the post https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo?is=Bk7WK95bLtDkaTYk
That’s why it has to be coupled with proportional representation in Congress.
I know what you’re saying, but what you’re waiting for as a sign is logically impossible within the constraints you’ve defined. If no one votes for 3rd parties because they aren’t popular enough then they will always be too unpopular to vote for.
You don’t vote 3rd party when the alternative is Trump. You vote for the leftist during primaries.
The real work is down-ballot, and actually getting into politics yourself. The problem is that a life in politics has been made (I think deliberately) unpalatable to smart and principled people.
That’s why you support ranked choice cannot initiatives at the same time.
Same.
Right now, I feel like the DNC is so weak, and the democratic socialism is so strong, I’m hoping for a DSA takeover of the Democrat party, much like the MAGA takeover of the Republican party.
The good news is, the Dems have no plans other than continuing unsuccessful policy to align themselves with corporations, progressives can continue to be successful if we keep at it.

Oh baby, some politicians who actually wanna make living better
These posts tilt neo-liberals so fucking hard.
- Primary progressives in.
- General election fascists out.
Do anything else and all you are doing is fucking yourself…and not in a fun way.
Let’s get rid of open fascists by electing covert fascists
Let’s get rid of all fascists.

Democrats are also fascists
Mamdani is a fascist?
Mamdani is a compromise with the fascists. The only political alignment that isn’t fascist is communism, not including trots and ultras, ofc. /gen

Criticism of antidemocratic behavior from the Democratic Party ≠ propaganda telling you not to vote.
Claiming that it is IS, on the other hand, is the equivalent of “vote for the lesser oppressor without comment. Dissent is treason.”

the fact this shit only ever
really comes upis noticed right before an election against republicans…Fixed it for you. I call out the bullshit of both parties all year every year. So do most people who aren’t party loyalists with blinders on.
bad faith argument is bad faith
Yep. That’s what the “you’re only criticizing Dems to help Republicans” deflection is. It’s a a bad faith argument and a strawman.
oh, you’ve been asleep since 2024, or ignoring this community til now?
We do vote, but we are not democrats so we dont vote for democrats any more than you vote for republicans. They’re both trash

“They’re both trash” =/= “both sides are identical”
Both sides support genocide. If hearing both sides are trash upset you then that tells a lot.
You’re calling yourself a lefty while defending Democrats? You are not a lefty, you are a right-wing Democrat

no one is saying they can’t tell the difference. they’re both unacceptable

So you believe the people that said voters should not expect a fair election because they are a private corporation and can pick the candidates they want, are worthy of being supported?
Removed by mod
Republicans are not the alternative, Republicans are the same, the alternative is voting for third parties
Not voting is also an option. You are not obligated to vote for someone who is going to enact policy which is going to harm you or you communities interests.

The mods are just obliterating people here… It’s beautiful.
Sanders is beyond irresponsible on his election conspiracy. Dude spread that shit leading up to 2016 and 2020 and the whole time he knew the dnc rigged nothing. He was unpopular and lost.

Downvoting because your claim is not true. It’s full of BlueMAGA Mccarthyism. Yes, blue fascism has the same outcome as red fascism.
I surely do. And I want to thank you, OP, for having the guts and grit you do.
Spent some time in the Texas and Louisiana bayous. I had some really good times there. And I’ve visited other areas, too.
