So let me guess. The solution is to vote for a 3rd party that has absolutely no presence in our federal government at all, hoping that magically one of their reps can become president and save the country, despite having absolutely no support within the federal government, at all? And we’ll just all agree to pretend like they won’t become susceptible to corporate interests as well so they can actually accrue enough money to start winning elections.
Ok, so enough of that stupid bullshit. Let’s hop on back to reality.
In reality, we have to vote Democrat for the time being because WE JUST FOUND OUT WHAT FUCKING HAPPENS IF WE DON’T. Meanwhile, we hope that a 3rd party can get off its fucking ass and start winning local/state elections so they can start getting MORE THAN ZERO representatives in the House and Senate, so that someday they can actually have a real shot at running a candidate for president.
This meme is grade school level dogshit. It only serves to split the vote more on 3rd party candidates that can’t win and ensure Republican control of our government for even longer. We don’t live in fantasy land. 3rd parties can’t recite magical incantations and gain control of our federal government. There’s a really fucking long process for a road to the presidency for a 3rd party, and in the meantime, we fucking vote Democrat because HAVE WE FUCKING LEARNED NOTHING?
The crux of the issue is that we voted for Democrats “for the time being” multiple times over the past 50 years, and this is still what fucking happened. But, ignoring that, the big idea here to save our hides is that a Democrat has to win every single election from now until the sun goes super-nova? That seems more than a little unrealistic.
No, at the moment, we have to vote defensively. But we had to vote defensively in 2000 and couldn’t and it got us here.
And to be fair there’s a trillion-dollar far-right propaganda machine that sucks up the majority of viewership. So yes, in fact, a lot of influence is assuring we’ve learned nothing and will continue to do so until our own necks are in the mire.
It may be too late now. But it may have been too late in 2016. It may have been too late in 2000.
Fascist autocratic dissolution of the society is not the only great filter we are facing. An overwhelming amount of work must me done to reverse the FUBAR, and the people are not yet ready for it. Nor are they ready for the horrors of war, famine and pestilence (transmissible diseases like measles), all whose hounds have vaulted their slips.
And what’s your plan to make it so those aren’t our only options? Split the vote on a third party? Give up? Hope we can build a revolution while ICE are disappearing us? Your solutions suck.

I voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 and now we have concentration camps! I’m not making that mistake again, I’ll vote for Trump next time /s

No, you just found out what happens when your only choices are either nazis or capitalistic corrupt “let’s debate nazis” centrists
