Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be. (lemmy.world)

Yeah absolutely how can I ever vote against war and imperialism if both parties are in favor of giving endless money to defense contractors? You're basically saying I have to force myself to vote for the American military death machine in every single election or I'm a bad person and maybe you have a point but if you have to make that argument I think you should have a long look in the mirror
