    And you call us smug.

    Votes should be withheld until they are earned, that’s how this democracy thing is supposed to work. With the current system your rights are held hostage by your own party for ransom in exchange for power. But in the end you never get rights, you get bread crumbs with more promises of rights which never materialize. When you are defending someone funding and condoning genocide you and your party are not the lesser evil.

        A leftist refusing to vote for the status quo, which is not not progressive, is no more apathetic than a Democrat refusing to vote for a Republican. You have to decide if you want progress or keep things the same, because you can’t have both.

      Yes. I call you smug. And suggesting that people don’t vote is about the most selfishly ignorant thing you can do.

          Name one third party candidate that can beat Trump in November.

          I’ll be waiting.

              So you’re not going to name one, eh?

              Oh and anyone with a brain knows polls are bullshit. It’s been proven.

                  So not only do you admit you have no answer to my question, you also admit that the poll you showed is either bullshit, or contributed to your echo chamber and served to prove your confirmation bias.

                  Not very bright man.

                    the poll you showed

                    What poll did I show?

                    Not very bright man

                    You can’t seem to differentiate me from OP

                    The only polls liberals think are accurate are the ones that provide them with dopamine hits of confirmation bias
