No, no, THIS time protest-voting to allow fascism will work to usher in a real left-wing movement in this country, promise! /s
this way of thinking assumes that having "muhh team" win will result any change, when historical record shows that the two party system has degraded quality of life for most people over last 40 years with no end in sight.
but sure keep voting for your team lol we can revisit this topic when we are all living hand to mouth and have even less economic power
That is not at all what the comment you replied to meant. Anyone with reading comprehension would know that.
ohh ok, what did it mean then?
Splitting the vote allows an opening for fascists to take control with a minority of support, like they do.
ahh yes... muhh team right, vote for my guy, trust me bro 🤡
Anyway, the two party regime is the same guy, y'all can keep doing these mental gymnastics but people are taking notice. why keep doing the same thing and expect different result?
You can keep voting for your "guy" while some will vote third party as protest vote to deny the regime legitimacy.
Once again, severe reading comprehension issues. Got it.
Just vote for my team bro!
You can keep wildly misrepresenting what people are saying all you want. You're not convincing anyone of anything here.
We really should push for better mental healthcare, thanks for highlighting this issue, sunzu!
