    Lol. You didn’t vote period. So you don’t deserve a say in anything going forward.

    Once again, tankie. How’s Gaza looking? Because of people like you, I’d say pretty fucked. Especially since you are still using the Biden genocide excuse to not take responsibility for Trump’s ACTUAL genocide.

    But whatever helps you cope.

      I find it very telling that you blame the person who couldn’t stomach to vote for genocide, instead of blaming your polticians for being pro-genocide.

          It seems to me that they do know how voting works in America: If you keep voting for pro-genocide candidates, you keep getting genocide. Maybe one of the two major parties should try running an anti-genocide candidate.

          seems like you don’t. i vote for the candidate that fits who I wish to win. marketing and propaganda have you thinking a 3rd party is a thrown away vote. Want to fix that? vote for someone who doesn’t support genocide.

          Yes! Third party votes pressure D and R to change their platform and get those votes.

          Even if you don’t think so, it still happens. For example, Socialists have been fighting for a minimum wage since 1910 (and still fight for higher wages today). They are the only reason for Democrats adopting a pro-labor position in the 30s. I could go on, but it’s all brand new to you, you’d lose your mind. Baby steps.

            Curious as to when in the electoral history of the US you think this has happened.

              It’s not an “electoral victory”; laws made by the major parties make this virtually impossible federally. However, their influence is still felt and makes changes.

              For example, Greens have been fighting tooth and nail for environmental concerns since the 1980s; they pulled many votes, and viola! Now it’s part of the Democratic platform. Libertarians fought tooth and nail for marijuana reform since the 1970s, pulling votes… Ds want those votes! Viola, many Ds have incorporated this into their platform today. Socialists have been fighting for labor since at least 1910, and viola! This was incorporated into Democratic platform in 1930s.

              Our major parties don’t give them an ounce of credit, but even a few thousand votes gets their attention.
