I have not been quiet. The writing's on the wall. First undocumented immigrants, and the democrats are going after trans people next, and I can't stand it.

they got exactly what they wanted. They have nothing to say, they can continue to complain without reason about things that are unimportant.

(before people @ me, yes i'm right, they would care about like, children starving, or something else if the importance was what mattered)

Kamala "Frack the Planet" Harris was not going to save the planet.

I'm comfortable with my decision to not vote for genocide, and I will continue to not vote for warhawks.

I actually think less of them than I do of Trump supporters, and that's really saying something.

C'mon guys, can't you spin up the "somehow, blame Russia" machine for this like last time?

Running around with pitchforks looking for minorities to blame is a really bad look, and it ultimately is just you showing your blue MAGA ass.

Like fucking clockwork.

Oh wait...they never mention the Trump part, because they actually DGAF about the genocide or what Trump will do to the US, they just want Trump to win.

well they’re not quiet now once they get called out

If you call people out, they're gonna respond, lol. (edited this part to not be accidentally included as part of the quote above)

tl;dr is we need more options than Democrats and Republicans, and voting third party should be only part of the solution to educate and mobilize the working class.

I think it is a false narrative that "voting blue no matter who" is the sole thing preventing the USA from succumbing to fascism. The reason government power see-saws between Democrats and Republicans is because it is hard for either party to maintain any legitimacy of being helpful to working class people when the only people both sides are helping are the wealthy. People get fed up with Democrats doing nothing for them and vote Republican. They then get fed up with Republicans doing nothing and vote Democrat.

Are the Democrats current policies better than Republicans in some areas? Sure. But the Democrats have also continued some of the worst Republican policies, and the ones they have better stances on are small and in my opinion offer no long term solutions to help the working class. So one proposed solution is to use our limited power of voting for another party that aligns more with working class needs. That should also only be one part of a larger scheme to educate and mobilize the working class.
