Maybe. A new, third party will at least not have the baggage from years of broken promises and empty lip service. Progressives have tried to work with the Dems since 2008 to no avail, so why still insist that this time will be any different?

Dems know the pickle Americans are in and have acted knowing that many will always give them their votes. Because what -- will you vote R? No? Then shut up and accept whatever shit we give you.

Non voters are berated for not exercising their democratic right, but can you blame someone who's lost hope of American politics? Obama's campaign was such a breath of fresh air, the victory from which gave Dems power to enact some real change. All they did was to bail out banks and fuel the dumpster fire that was Trump's election 2016. And during that election cycle, they forced a very unpopular candidate on their voters. When COVID saved them in 2020, they still gave Americans Joe Biden and continued down the same, rotten path.

Look at how they treated Zohran. I'm so glad he won because he shows that people want this kind of politics. If he was running for president, I think they would've tried their damnest to stop him.

So yeah, why should someone vote for them?

In my home country, the left party is sliding rightward, and this election I'm voting for a small party that actually stands for what I believe in. Some of my friends think I'm throwing my vote away, but my right to vote means my right to not be forced into making "mature" decisions about who I want to lead the country. That's been done for some 40 years now and has never worked. Enough is enough!
