    Well I voted for a 3rd party candidate in the UK election, how slow American elections are is rather amusing to me. You were campaigning this time last year and the new government hasn’t yet taken power. Meanwhile ours was all done in a few weeks.

    Can we stop letting the same 4 people make these posts to just get the dopamine kicks from starting the arguments over all over again?

    It’s pointless grandstanding to get a fight started and that is basically it and it’s the same people every time. People should just be blocking these accounts cause if anyone seems like permanently online trolls or shills it’s these accounts making these exact posts like clockwork every single week.

    It’s lazy and the mods seem to let it happen cause they get a kick from the banning they can dish out.

    I still point out once a week. Republicans and Democrats are the problem. Entirely ditch both parties and grab a third party that’s actually terrified of happening to them, what just happened to the Republican’s and Democrats and taking our country back from the damn thieves.

    But I guess with eye sight like that, you would have trouble seeing what’s right in front of you.

    The best solution to the two parties excluding the left isn’t a third party, it’s for the left to register as Republicans and conduct a hostile takeover of the GOP in the primaries.

    This can easily succeed in blue states/cities to start out.

    “Hey, let’s vote for a candidate who literally cannot win from a party that hasn’t done the necessary work to become nationally viable because I don’t want to be part of the two party problem even though if we do so it will guarantee that a felon rapist who incited an insurrection, stripped women of a human right, and illegally attempted to overturn an election will win.” - Dipshit 3rd Party Voters

    Just as stupid as Trump supporters, as far as I’m concerned.

    Well, they got what we told them they’d be getting. Why aren’t they celebrating?

    The only way to create a viable third party is to vote for them. America needs a third choice.

    I don’t remember third party proponents. I remember the depression and realization that both parties continue to work hard to make this country suck more.

    The election is over, did you expect them to keep telling you to vote 3rd party when there is no election to vote for them in? Perhaps you noticed that all the “Vote Harris” commercials stopped too?
