In Trump's latest Truth Social post, he shares a disgusting video depicting a golden statue of himself, a sky scraper with his name on it, a superyacht on the Gaza coast, him holding hands with a female entertainer in a night club wearing a see-through gown, him & Netanyahu shirtless together sipping alcohol on the Gaza coast with a sign that says "Trump Gaza," and money raining down with kids jumping up to grab it.

All the signs of what many would call the antichrist, yet the religious-right is convinced he's their savior. He wants to turn Gaza into a Las Vegas style resort with his name plastered everywhere.

Genocide joe, genocide Trump. Enjoying the company you keep blue conservative?

Why is it that you relish in the fact that other Americans are unrepresented by their options in the voting booth? Do you hate democracy?

There is a better way. One in which people are free to vote for who best represents them. Are you working to give these people the freedom to vote for who they want? Or are you waiting to scream at people to vote for your preference.

Here are some helpful videos to show you that the democrats don't have to be the only opposition to the republican party. I would say the democrats have more then lost their privilege to go it alone at the republicans.

Videos on Electoral Reform

First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)

Videos on alternative electoral systems we can try out.

STAR voting

Alternative vote

Ranked Choice voting

Range Voting

Single Transferable Vote

Mixed Member Proportional representation

A two party system is only one away from a one party state.

Cool, hit me up when you can get state legislatures to agree to that shit.

In the meantime I'll be voting for the Dem party precisely because of the reason(s) your linked videos on voting systems say it's dumb to not vote for one of the two parties in a first past the post system.
