Another post that makes me further double down on voting 3rd party. It is because of this mentality that not enough people vote 3rd party to make a difference. Also, I refuse to reward genocide.
I would also like to add Trump being worse isn't a good argument because this administration has let israel do all it wants and given them every weapon and funding.
If you think it can't get worse, Trump is happy to correct your failure of imagination.
Imagine a scenario with multiple political parties competing to defeat the Republicans. With more representative electoral systems, voters could choose any candidate they prefer, ensuring that even if their choice doesn’t win, their vote can still be counted against the republican party with no spoiler effect. Since voting methods are determined at the state level, we don’t need to wait for federal changes; some states have already implemented electoral reform. Alaska recently picked a more moderate conservative over Sarah Palin because of Ranked Choice voting
Who would oppose having multiple chances to take power from the Republican Party? The Democratic Party would. In states they control, they could replace First Past The Post voting with an electoral system without a spoiler effect. Yet year after year, election after election, the democrats sit on their hands and do nothing about FPTP voting.
Democrats frequently acknowledge the shortcomings of FPTP voting, and have done so for longer than I’ve been alive. Just mention voting for a third party to any Democrat, and they’ll readily express their awareness of the flaws in the voting system used by most states. Comments for articles about the Green Party will further illustrate their understanding of this issue.
The Democrats seem to prefer the country balancing over a fire pit of fascism rather than truly competing for our votes. Party over country at all costs.

Oh? Specifically and only Democrats?
It's crazy when you fuckers stop even pretending to do the "bothsides" song and dance and just straight up do partisan attacks on Democrats only.
Another day, another smattering of "leftists" in safe blue states trying to be armchair activists while folks in red states fight to not be hunted for sport by the ruling class.
I'm sure glad it's easy to hide behind "both parties bad" or whatever nonsense they come up with this time.
Why should a bunch of middle eastern fight against your ruling class instead of you? Fix your goddamn country
The best part:
Genocide in Gaza: "We must do something or we're responsible for every death!!!"
Genocide in Ukraine: "Ukraine should have just surrendered to Russia for peace and this would never have happened..."
It's clear where this is coming from, they're just the same useful idiots as Stalin had.
Keep defending multimillionaire democrats as they allow the country to slide into fascism because, hey, they're slightly better than outright fascists. I'm sure the people being genocided in Gaza are happy to hear how privileged they are. It's okay, Harris will push for a gentler genocide than Trump.

Sounds serious! I believe what you and many other democrats say about Trump and the republicans. Do you believe what you say?
When will democrats drop gun control considering imminent threat? It's only logical that the working class must remain armed considering how we are perpetually one election away from republicans installing and authoritarian government.
