    Socialists don’t vote for conservatives like Republicans or Democrats. Trying to distance yourself by proclaiming I’m not a Democrat but have no choice is like driving the getaway car and claiming innocence.

    My skin is at risk regardless of which shade of fascism sits in the halls of government. And so is every other marginalized group out there. They remain marginalized regardless who you vote for

      You can pretend voting for anyone but a democrat will help anything, but that is either indicative that you’re actually a republican or extremely opposed to being logical about this.

        Voting for Democrats hasn’t helped shift, and it won’t in the future. They don’t represent the working class and they are surrounding themselves with conservatives as they become the dominant conservative party

          Then vote for Republicans. That is 100% what you’re doing if you vote third party. Pretending otherwise won’t change a damned thing

            I know election math is as confusing as toilet paper math, but try and follow along. A vote for candidate A goes to candidate A. A vote for candidate B goes to candidate B, and so forth. A vote for candidate B does not go to candidate C or A Still with me, or was that too confusing?

            Now, when votes are tallied, every ballot cast for candidate A stays in the candidate A bucket. Same with candidate B, C, and so forth.

            If candidate B has shit in their bucket and is demanding everyone still place their ballot with them, they can’t be surprised when no one wants to go near the shit bucket. if it’s unclear, Democrats are bucket B

              I get it. Tankies 4 Trump 2024.

              Fortunately your view is extremely unpopular, but unfortunately we need every vote we can get against Trump. Sorry you can’t understand basic logic and will thus be supporting Trump and you will have nothing to show for it whatsoever unless he wins and that’s what you want. Which wouldn’t be surprising to anyone reading your comments.

                Typical liberal voter outreach, ‘fuck you, you worthless POS, now vote for our BlueMAGA fascist or else everyone dies.’

                  No only the bad faith troll lying assholes get treated that way. They’ve shown they’re a lost cause.

      As it gets closer to election day I’m really finding myself missing 2016’s Bernie Bro.

      They were the more creative and interesting version of the generic third party posters that fill the role these days.
