Who should I vote for?

A. The person who says his supporters won’t have to vote anymore after he’s in office and also shares none of my political views

B. A boring liberal who has a decent left-leaning senate voting record and shares most of my political views

C. Someone who has absolutely zero chance of winning

You, an utterly deranged person: I better vote for C so that A wins. That’ll teach person B!

(Did Democrats change in the way you wanted them to when Ralph Nader pulled juuuust enough votes away from Gore in 2000 to hand things over to the Bushes again? Or when Jill Stein helped steer voters away from Hilary in 2016? No? Huh, well, let’s just try again, forever, and have nothing to show for it except conservative wins. Unless that was entirely the point?)

40 years of your reasoning is why we're on the brink of fascism.

You want change? You have to vote for something different. It's that simple.

Hell no we do not want neofascist changes Ivan. That's what completely fucked up all of Russia. Why the hell would we want the "change" of losing democracy and the rule of law? LMFAO There is an excellent reason why Bernie went thru the Dem party. Because he's not an idiot.

why we’re on the brink of fascism.

You and Treason Trump and War Criminal Putin are the reason.

And a bunch of dipshits like you are going to be the reason the fascists get into office.

What's going to get the fascists into office is the fact that tens of millions of Americans can't afford to miss a day of work, and Biden didn't do anything to change that.

Me and my Green Party vote have nothing to do with it. We Greens are powerless.

Except for you trying to con people into helping billionaires get gigantic GOP tax cuts and destroy democracy.

You could try not constantly attempting to convince people likely to vote democrat to not vote, or vote for a 0% chance candidate. Nader. Stein. If they didn’t do what they did, we wouldn’t have had a Bush 2 or Trump administration.

2/3 of the US states are controlled by conservatives and fascists.

It is a very big deal that the Democrats at the federal level accomplish nothing.
