    And fuck everyone who encouraged not voting or voting third party. At least according to the principles they supposedly hold, they'd be even more culpable since they fucking knew what's at stake.

  • I was one of those people who was encouraged people to get ‘Free Speech’ ‘Democracy Now’, ‘Rising Up with Sonali’ & some many even more Independent & Left programs educated about:
    ‘The Crazy Don’,
    Joe ‘The Original of The Dem. “90+% Capitalist” Party Seller-Out of The People to Rich-Very Rich Economic Classes/Owners Biden & then Kamala ‘Like Obama Just A Minority Sell-Out, Clone of Biden Policies’ Harris,
    The Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party & The Rep. ‘Crazy Capitalist’ Party
    & TO VOTE POLITICALLY LEFT!

    In most not all political issues, some issues it is flipped between the two-

    The Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party is walking us in the same direction that The Rep. ‘Crazy Capitalist’ Party are- to the end of everything

    &

    The Rep. ‘Crazy Capitalist’ Party is running us (with ‘The Crazy Don’ as fast as possible) to the end of everything, including whatever our governments have practiced for 250-years, it never was or ever achieved Democratic Representative Republic-Liveable Planet & All Living Beings!

    Nope, never 'fucking' people trying to change the broken system by establishing a third-party. I'll keep blaming people actually responsible.

    In a first-past-the-post voting system with winner-take-all representation, it’s literally impossible for a 3rd party to be elected to the presidency. If you’re really committed to changing that, you’d vote for the people who are more likely to enact ranked choice voting and proportional representation (regardless of party)… and only at the local/state level since that’s where voting laws and regulations are made. Voting 3rd party for president does nothing but dilute the vote of the intended opposition party. Greens dilute the Dem vote, Libertarians (both big and small) dilute the Republican vote. To pretend otherwise plays right into the game the two big parties have always played.

    There have been like 3 times at the national level in America where voting third party actually worked. It is very clearly a problem, but voting third party doesn't fix that problem.

    Fix the problem that makes a 2-party system the only viable option, then vote for third parties. Or stay home and drink or get high. The results for the political landscape will be much the same. Granted, at this point in the game, you're likely better off waiting for the collapse of America and putting something more effective in the new constitution.

    Yes, we owe the Democrats our votes no matter what they do, or don't do.

    I now realize that the Democratic party didn't fail their voters or America, we failed them.

    Thank you for showing me the light.

    Weird, somehow I already tagged you as 'both sides' and then you said this. Big time coincidence.

    Don't engage. He's chosen his path and there's nothing to be said to convince him. Let him be content with his choices without external criticism or validation. It's like being angry at a bear for shitting in the woods - it's just its nature. There's nothing to be gained here. Save your energy for causes that aren't yet lost.

    An absolute crime, just like every other act of the current administration.

    It's sad, but they're out there committing actual crimes.

    You’re right they are. So many that I think they feel the general public will stop paying attention. Even though some roadblocks to crazy town have been lifted by his own people hopefully this madness ends sooner rather than later.

    There was a learning game I've used in my classroom for the last three years. I tried to use it this year and it has been lost to budget cuts.

    Here is Fred Rogers explaining the need for public TV

    These people are straight up evil. PBS has helped so many children, I cannot even imagine wanting to deprive kids of learning or empathy.

    Time to up my donation to my local affiliate.

    When you donate to your local station you get access to PBS Passport streaming. Lots of good stuff on there.
