    Because the single-issue voters who refused to vote for Harris contributed to changing the 2-party system they had, to a 1-party system now.

    Do 3rd party activism between election cycles, not when MegaHitler is close to being elected.

            Hard dems sure, but the rest of us that want a true third party that doesn’t have these stupid caveats are more than willing to see a 3rd option come to light and support it.

                I fucking hate that I have to vote for democrats. And yeah I’ve been laying into people today because they are taking a brainless approach to the situation.

                I had no good options on my ballot!

                Not voting is leaving things to chance, so what can I do but try to vote for the lesser evil when I have no good option? Vote for the lesser evil and try to get a good option on the next ballot when in between elections.

                    I am honest about them being a shit option! I’ve said over and over and over that democrats are a shit option. I am also being accurate by saying they are not as bad as republicans. Just look at the state of shit right now and tell me that we’d have alligator alcatraz and tariffs out the ass under kamala. If you can’t admit that, then there is nothing to talk about further. I’ve never said she was a good option, only that she was a better option than trump.

      I’m really not interested in the moral opinions of people who describe “opposing your government doing a Holocaust” as “single-issue voters”

      Do 3rd party activism between election cycles,

      Seems like you think the time between election cycles is when you should be tearing into the left.

        Now there’s two holocausts. Everyone with a brain knew it was only going to get worse under Trump compared to Biden or Harris, and now they’re talking about alligators getting 65 million meals. Tell me how is two genocides better than once? How come not a single “true leftist” such as yourself acknowledges Trump being a genocidal maniac, only Harris?

      Kamala will never beat Trump no matter how much you want to cry about it. You need an actual opposition party, neoliberalism is dead.

        An actual opposition party to the left of the neoliberals siphons votes from the neoliberals to make it easier for the real fascists.

        Changing to a better election system has to happen on a state level first because states are the ones who can choose if they have an FPTP system (yay 2 party system) or a proportional system. Even IF you managed to elect a bona-fide socialist as president, it’s not gonna affect shit because that’s not even the president’s jurisdiction. Or congress. It’s state level.
