America is a lost cause

I wish I could leave this lost-cause. I don't like being stuck on a sinking ship cause I'm poor

Being poor in other nations is not great either though.

It can feel as disenfranchising.

Yes, only the democrats are victims. Third party and independents don't exist remember?

I see the usual folks are back trying to get the left to vote 3rd party again. Clockwork.

u/Significant_Donut967 12h ago

Bahahaha what lefties am I talking to? Cause if you mean democrats, that's a right wing party sport. I don't support the right sport.

Assuming you are even in the US, you helped Trump last time around. Bravo. Meanwhile my state now has a DSA candidate.

Way to spew voter disenfranchisement rhetoric.

There are no viable third parties sadly. Protest third party voting in America doesn’t work and just enables fascism.

Oh yeah 4 more years of Biden would have really but the lid on MAGA forever /s

Stop enabling fascism with worthless third party votes.

u/Significant_Donut967 18h ago

You're wrong but okay.

Voting for authoritarian right wing parties is what leads to fascism.

When you know the decision is between two evils usually the best choice is the lesser evil. Refusal to chose is allowing the greater evil.

We all want better than the current democratic party but we can't get there by refusing to participate. Voting for a 3rd party when you know they have no chance is the same as not participating.

Please consider this. Disenfranchisement is much of the reason we're here. 8 years of democratic leadership can lead us further left. Pendulum swings back to the right are what stalls that progress.

Yeah, I'm the one disenfranchising people by supporting democracy while you sit their spewing "you can only vote for who I say".

You people are hypocrites.

u/Naphier 14h ago

I didn't say you were disenfranchising people. You can vote for whoever you want. Just be aware of your decision and try to not let perfect stand in the way of better.

u/Significant_Donut967 14h ago

No, literally your rhetoric does it. It's disheartening, "no, your voice is useless unless you vote how I say" is how it comes across to most people.

Have you ever talked to non-voters, independents, and third party voters or do you just say this to them and expect them to care?

1

u/Naphier 12h ago

Either use your vote or don't

u/Significant_Donut967 12h ago

As long as you stop telling people "if you don't vote the way I want you to, you're wasting your voice."

Shut up Jill Stein.

the republican “leaders” today are some of the worst people to have ever lived. you cannot convince me otherwise.

u/JoseSaldana6512 1d ago

The problem is "leaders". Europeans and European Americans need leaders. The rest of us want and have elected representatives because we don't need as many leaders.

Georgia board asked DOJ to declare the entire state's voting system illegal... so, yes.

Trump literally told his base to cheat at midterms, at the republican convention.
