Looks like you're in need of a reality check.
For the foreseeable future, and likely for the remainder of your life, you will have one of two parties in control of the American federal government. Democrats or Republicans. No 3rd party is even remotely viable. Not even close. And no 3rd party is even trying to be.
Now, less than a year ago America found out what happens if you don't vote or vote 3rd party. The answer is fascism. Fascism happens. Because the fascists are crossing their fingers and hoping you stay home or blow your vote on a 3rd party.
So you can take these facts and use them to make intelligent decisions in the future, or you can keep posting emotional, unhelpful comments like the one you just posted. I'm crossing my fingers you make the intelligent decision.
Guys there's no solution but to vote DNC. Vote blue no matter who. It doesn't matter if they cheat in the primaries or run a cop for president or cherry pick LGBT rights or refuse to make any concessions to the left at all, the only option is the one the democratic establishment runs. You can't run for office or win office, you don't have the choice to run third party, you can't do anything but keep playing their game.
If the DNC wants to win an election, Mamdani is showing them exactly how to do it. It's too late to make the "but fascism will happen" fascism is already happening and the DNC is spineless, cowardly, and performatively powerless. The threat doesn't work any more.
I mean it's a pretty simple question.
Would you rather have Dems in power right now or Republicans? There is no other option that's going to happen in reality.
Reminder that none of this insane crazy bullshit was happening before January.
Not really my fault the DNC couldn't run a candidate that could beat DJT.
Why not? Keep telling yourself that and it's true.
