    But there’s nothing inherent to the system that says the candidate with a plurality of votes has to be Democrat or Republican right? So what the fuck is the problem?

    How did your Harris vote work out for you? How did your Clinton vote work out for you? What would have changed if you’d instead voted third party in either of these elections?

    Do you honestly think that even if a Dem wins in 2028 that the Republicans will just disappear, “we defeated them!” and they just go away? The Republicans keep getting elected because of the Dems, their shit candidates, and their bullshit milquetoast policy that never helps anyone. What have they done to deserve our votes other than “not being Republican?” You know who else isn’t Republican? Third parties.

      2024 was close enough that if the dumb fucks who thought voting 3rd party was a good idea had voted for Harris we wouldn’t have the shit show that is trump’s second term.

      Until a 3rd party can get more than a handful of votes they aren’t going to win and voting for one is just sniffing your own farts while enabling fascism.
