So then you don't know how voting works in America? It's easily learned.

It seems to me that they do know how voting works in America: If you keep voting for pro-genocide candidates, you keep getting genocide. Maybe one of the two major parties should try running an anti-genocide candidate.

Thanks for the tag request

seems like you don’t. i vote for the candidate that fits who I wish to win. marketing and propaganda have you thinking a 3rd party is a thrown away vote. Want to fix that? vote for someone who doesn’t support genocide.

It's not marketing, it's direct experience.

Yes! Third party votes pressure D and R to change their platform and get those votes.

Even if you don't think so, it still happens. For example, Socialists have been fighting for a minimum wage since 1910 (and still fight for higher wages today). They are the only reason for Democrats adopting a pro-labor position in the 30s. I could go on, but it's all brand new to you, you'd lose your mind. Baby steps.

Curious as to when in the electoral history of the US you think this has happened.

Your account is brand new and that makes sense.
