Can I get a smug lecture on how you’re choosing the third, disconnected track?

      It would be functionally similar to a democrat, so yes, in essence your line of reasoning leads to a third trump term no matter what.

        Truly the fashos are the same as the entire establishment. Feel free to keep enabling the nazis while patting yourself on the back. The political system in the US practically does not allow for third parties, and even if you manage to replace one party with something better that doesn’t solve the fundamental long term issue. Pushing for electoral reform one way or another does not mean you can’t at least put in a meaningful vote against the fashos.

            So you’ll get either your 3rd party candidate (you won’t), or Trump’s third. Hard to see why you’d want that, but I guess we all have our reasons.

              Or a democrat, which is functionally similar to Trump.

              even if you manage to replace one party with something better that doesn’t solve the fundamental long term issue.

              Wow, it’s almost like the USA isn’t a democracy and you’re given a false choice between two identical political parties in order to keep you from actually doing anything of substance. It’s almost like your argument about voting mattering is flawed. Weird how noone pointed that out.

              Pushing for electoral reform one way or another does not mean you can’t at least put in a meaningful vote against the fashos.

              Right, which is why I’m not voting for democrats or republicans.

                Laughably naive. Please refrain from any political commentary from now on.

                  Oh sorry, I just consider palestinians people. And immigrants peopl. And queer people people. And women people. And I care about the climate. And the ever-growing police state. And the constantly expanding military. And the wars. And the foreign intervention. And the brinksmanship. And the assaults on peaceful protesters. And the bypassing of primaries.
                  But you know, other than that, yeah, super naive I guess.

                    It is extremely naive if you can’t tell the difference between the D and R policies on those issues. Just make a comparison of each of those between Biden and Trump. Just do it. Take a spreadsheet and compare. Do it. A column for each president, a row for each issue. In the corresponding field write what they did to each group. Go ahead. Do it. Stop bitching and look at the facts. Do it now.
