And you end up with the stupid idealist 3rd party voters that think “we’ll send a message with how we vote!” (Or don’t vote) not realizing the true impact they’re causing and the message it sends by having to go back to the center (which inches right more and more each time).

3rd party does have a place, but not right now with how screwed up things are.

Its forever going to be "not right now" for you, so we're not waiting anymore, its only going to happen if we make it right now.

No, no it’s not. And if Trump is elected again, it’s on anyone who things as much.

Its on people pushing a candidate they dont even like. Happened with hillary, its happening again with genocide joe. Let us support progressive candidates we like

genocide joe

Tell me you’re a Russian supporter, without telling me you’re a Russian supporter… that’s all I needed to know, thanks for playing.

Tell me you like painting others as strawmen without telling me you're painting people as strawmen.

Voter shaming will only make less people vote.

Many people need something to vote for, not against.

What happened with Hillary is that idiots decided to vote third party for a planted candidate and fucked everything up. Dividing progressive votes means a loss for progressives in every case. You will be part of the problem when Trump gets reelected and dismantles democracy. That will be the end of voting and the reemergence of mass suffrage. Oh and I forgot, climate change will continue to get worse and people will start getting sick because Trump has already promised to end climate/pollution regulations. Equal rights will be stripped and slavery will be brought back even for white people because, chances are, minimum wage will be wiped out. This dude plans to do so much damage if/when he gets back in office.

I agree, we should all vote for the progressive candidate.

And by "make it happen" you mean help get Trump elected and usher in a fascist dictatorship.

Maybe one day you'll entertain the notion that disregarding progressive voters and pushing a candidate you dont like could be to blame for trump winning, like in 2016.

I'm sorry our bloc is too small to be properly represented on the national stage.
