we get one year to say this freely, after that we will be told that we are clearly spies and/or bots working for Russia posting to influence the election and stop voting. Every election. Forever.

If you're suggesting that Democrats aren't worth voting for, you're a Russian keyboard commando

If you're suggesting that Republicans aren't worth voting for, you're a Chinese Wumao Tankie.

If you vote Green, you're a dupe for the Republicans. If you vote Libertarian, you're a dupe for the Democrats. If you don't vote at all, you're the singular reason my 60/40 district didn't break the correct way.

If you vote for the opposition party, you're a traitor, a degenerate, a racist, a fascist, a lunatic, an idiot, possibly all of the above.

If you vote for the correct party, you need to just shut up and get in line. Quit criticizing the party after the election. There's nothing else to be done.

If you have a little flag that says "End the Wars" while you're in line to vote, GTFO we don't want you here, I don't care who you are voting for.

    It's almost as if they're both bad: but one is significantly worse than the other and in most races there isn't a viable 3rd option.

    So if regardless of who wins we're going to have to coerce, argue, and fight them ... why the hell wouldn't we pick the one we have a better chance against?

    This is a childish interpretation of electoral politics. How would a vote for a third party help any mainstream candidate? If you’ve vote for libertarians you’re just a libertarian dumbass. Lmfao.

    If you vote for the correct party, you need to just shut up and get in line. Quit criticizing the party after the election. There’s nothing else to be done.

    Is this really how you feel? or some joke I’m not picking up on? You don’t think politicians should be held to any leftist standard if they win? Why tf not? Why do we even bother electing them, you want all of them to go John Fetterman? That’s how you fucking lose elections dude.

    I actually believe that people who are anti-war and anti fascists opinions do matter, and if you want those people to vote and “break your counties election the right way” you are going to actually have to start caring about black people, LGBT and other marginalized groups, working class, and anti War activists.

    If you’re trying to get people to vote liberal telling them to “fuck off we don’t want you here” is incredibly stupid and short sighted.
