More like "It doesn't matter how you vote, the evil party is going to win because the slightly-less-evil party just lost a large chunk of their voter base because funding a ethnic genocide in the middle east was a hill they were dying on"

Do your part by voting for the slightly less shit party, but don't be surprised when it happens anyway, they're counting on it. They want it. Whenever they need to do something evil they can just throw the election so the republicans can take the hit for them, just like every time.

Oh, I'm sure they would still hold elections. But your options would be even more limited. "Sorry, but the other parties just didn't run any candidates for this election. Imagine that."

Not humorous and also not good faith discourse. This is just moralizing even though I agree with the sentiment

[-] ChiefSinner@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

That's where youre wrong. There are more than 2 parties. The 2 party system is atrocious.

[-] Whattrees 10 points 1 year ago

There are only two parties that have a mathematical chance of winning. You can throw your vote away on a third party, hoping to get them 20x their highest ever turn-out in the hopes that they get more money if you want. But know that what you are actually doing is indistinguishable from simply not voting. Work on getting ranked-choice voting in your state first, then vote your conscience. Voting third party now just guarantees another 4+ years of Trump.

Get fucked and run a better candidate, Dems. When they don't they will be the only group responsible for the election of trump.

No, it'll also be the fault of idiots like you who think you get the privilege of voting for someone you really like instead of just getting to pick the least bad option. You have the chance to vote to keep trans people safe for another 4 years, to keep abortion legal on the federal level for the next four years, etc. You choosing not to do that in the desperate bid to feel like your hands are clean will directly result in harm to those around you. Your hands will be dirty either way.

Uh or we can vote for the independent left and not some capitalist who belongs in a retirement home

[-] PupBiru@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

you can, but that’s a wasted vote… you have a 2 party system, vote republic or vote democrat are mathematically your only viable options

if you want different options, you first have to work to change the system

The downvotes on this post are incredibly suspect for lemmy.ml.

The logic of the picture is dumb as fuck.

Both are too old to run. Honestly, I don't think Joe would make it another 4 years.

[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Why Joe and not trump? He's older, sure, but going by general healthy he looks better. And this is even with all the work trump puts into his looks. Ffs the guy fusses over his hair so much and paints himself orange. And he still looks like shit
