Both can be true

Is this an anti-democracy post? Is OP saying people shouldn't be allowed to vote...?

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

No he's saying we must vote for one of the two parties, thereby manufacturing consent for whatever they decide to shovel down our throats.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

And you're here trying to tell people to either not vote or vote third party and any time someone points out that just was the death of America you have to deflect. You're reliable to do it in every thread. It is gross.

Oh so you're one of the non voters who helped Trump win?

Oh so you're the guy who makes assumptions that make you feel more comfortable.

I do not blame people who voted for third parties or write ins. At worst, they make a compelling point to campaigns - that there are many voters that are active, but want another option.

A over third of eligible voters did not vote.

The couch was a more viable competitor than either candidate.

There was more than could have been done to represent voters' interests.

However fault is not binary. There's plenty of people and even events that take some portion of the blame.
