    Let’s not back the 3rd party that’s leaps and bounds better than either shade of fascism.

    NO VIABLE 3RD PARTY ON A FEDERAL LEVEL.

    NO VIABLE 3RD PARTY ON A FEDERAL LEVEL.

    NO VIABLE 3RD PARTY ON A FEDERAL LEVEL.

    Let me know how many more times I have to repeat it before it sinks in.

    Fun Fact: The 3rd party candidate with the most votes in 2024 was Jill Stein with a half of a single percent of the total votes cast, confirming that no 3rd party has any path at all to winning a federal election.

    Alright. So here it comes. Stick with me just a little longer. You got this.

    Considering that we KNOW BEYOND DOUBT that a 3rd party can’t win a federal election, that leaves only two possible parties that will control our federal government. Think REAL REAL hard about which of those two parties you’d rather have control and then GO FUCKING VOTE FOR THEM.

    Then, to make yourself feel all nice inside, when your local/state elections come up, have a fucking blast voting for 3rd party candidates and I’ll be right there cheering you on. Because voting for 3rd parties in local/state elections FOR A LONG TIME is how you ONE DAY get a 3rd party that can maybe possibly win a federal election.

    Psssst. We only have 3 months until the election. Ain’t gonna be a viable 3rd party by then. Ain’t gonna be one in 2028 either.

    Hope this helped. I somehow doubt it did though.

      Decades of liberals thinking they’re choosing a lesser evil and they’ve got to show for it is a greater evil
