Are we really still doing this?
Honestly it seems like liberals hate their own base more than the reactionaries they are supposedly the opposition to
Actually that tracks, since most of the DNC has been flirting with reactionary commentators and billionaires while actively criticizing the one part of their party actually building momentum

Pointless statements from liberals who are too busy trying to find someone to blame to do anything useful about the galloping fascism in their midst.
Seriously. Same old useless shit as always.
Luckily the millions of protest nonvoters are taking action to stop this fucked situation.
Right?
Oh, no, wait, people like me are fucked because it was never anything other than posing for purity points with your online friends.
And if we have actual elections in 2028, none of you will learn a goddamn thing.
The blood of millions doesn't matter a single goddamn whit to any of you so long as you can talk about LIBS BAD.

Obviously the solution is for more people to vote third party
Not without an elimination of FPTP ya don't.
Actually, having a progressive party and a conservative party would be far better than having a conservative party and fascist party.
Correct, but there are obstacles to getting there, including FPTP.

If enough people vote third party than they are voting for a major party again.

I swear to God it's the same 5 accounts on Lemmy posting this horse-shit take.
Like - all the third party voters combined would not have kept Trump out of office. Give it up. It's nonsense and frankly pretty sad.
I sorta disagree.
I think the campaign used to push people third party encouraged others to just not vote.
Even IF that's true it's still terrible. What do you think? You're gonna chastise people into agreeing with you? Is some "holier-than-though" attitude gonna do it?
Really just seems like a circlejerk
No I'm just saying people who think protest voting or throwing your vote away is ever smart, this is proof it isn't.
This really entirely could've been avoided and this was one of the steps in a stairwell of bullshit that could've stopped it all

Reminding everyone that being a Nazi supporter is, in fact, bad, is good practice. That exact mindset of "Never be mean to anyone who supports fascism 🥺" is half the fucking reason that fascism got mainstreamed in this country. People sitting on the fence are more likely to shy away from something that is thoroughly condemned than something that gets a "Well, your support of shipping undesirables to death camps is a Respectable Position, let's agree to disagree 😊"

It's the two party system in a post. Don't worry, your democracy is dead either way. Whether engaging in TPS or ignoring it for a fart in a blizzard vote, it's all far too late.
Keep trashing them, that will bring em over.
They need to understand that their logic is flawed. If they won’t, they will not make the right choice anyhow.
