Our "lesser evil" option keeps moving further and further to the right each cycle.
Hence educating and organizing the other 364 days of the year.
3rd party it is. Dems deciding to fuck around and find out..
I'd say the people who voted third party are the ones who fucked around in 2016, and ALL of us found out because of it.
Dictatorship it is then. 3rd parties don't stand a snowballs chance in hell right now.
Canvassing and outreach happen first, then you can vote for that party. Right now you're literally handing Republicans the win if you vote 3rd party this election.
3rd parties don't stand a snowballs chance in hell
Because of you and other useful idiots spreading RNC/DNC propaganda.
BINGO. Don't ever question it. Hand-waving away our democracy for DECADES as the lesser of 2 evils.
Fuck this shit. Fuck the MIC. Fuck the 1%.
If you act like a dragon (hoard enough wealth to solve all of humanity's problems), you deserve to be cut up and fed to the local town of the Hero who ended your life. There just aren't that many of you fuckers. Best of luck.
Duverger's law is RNC/DNC propaganda?
No. Duverger's law describes the outcome of you accepting and spreading DNC/RNC propaganda
3rd parties don’t stand a snowballs chance in hell right now.
Which is a problem that needs to be addressed.
This voting the lesser of two evils won't stop the republicans from getting further to the right, and the democrats to do the same to try and capture more moderate right wing votes.
How many elections will be "don't vote 3rd party vote us or else the other guys will win"? How many problems will be addressed that way? How bad are you going to let these systemic issues plague the US before realizing that "hey maybe this is damaging our democracy and leading down a path towards autocracy"?
Cause the main way for autocrats to rule is for people to stop engaging in politics as they don't feel represented, and that's something you're seeing happening in the US due, also, to a lack of 3rd parties. This creates apathy which autocrats thrive on. And you'll be whining about people not voting your lesser evil all the way to fascism because you were too shortsighted in winning X election to see the issue at large.
On today's episode of "leftists are simultaneously both stupid babies who exist solely for us to mock AND single handedly responsible for every Republican win."
If democrats ran Bernie who won the primary, instead of telling him to eat a dick then going to court to tell their voters to eat a dick - THEN all those things in op.
2016 we watched that, in 2024 we're watching Biden sidestep congress to fund genocide. Democrats aren't any less fascist, they just put a little rainbow pin on their cap and you call them the good guys.
Ignore the fact that the DNC can quite literally pick anybody regardless of who "wins" the Primary
Ah a slogan. Truly helpful.
Slogans are helpful yes.
Thoughts and prayers to you then.
More of an action and policy removed
I think a better strategy is to run for office rather than vote. Because voting doesn't do much if the available candidates are turncoats or shills. It should be educate, organize, and run. Otherwise we get more Scinemas running for raising minimum wage and not at all voting for it when it counts most.
Because America isnt voting for change. They're just moving towards fascism, either slow or fast.
If you tell anyone to change course and vote third party they get really mad at you here on Lemmy.
Well I don't care about that.
Hey everyone stop voting for conservatives. No matter what party they align with they are beholden to the same ruling class, not the working class. Vote third party. Vote for Claudia & Karina 2024.
