    I will not vote for the party of genocide supply. Aka the dems.

    They’re both supporting the ongoing genocide. This isn’t helpful for deciding who to vote for.

    Local candidates are not going fix the two party system. That’s a national issue.

    Which is why I specified local/congressional. It’s going to take all levels of government to unfuck us from a two party system.

    I don’t know the solution, but buying into the Dems bullshit “lesser of Two evils” AGAIN is not it.

    Only one of these choices is actively trying to turn our country into a theocratic hell hole.

    The “lesser of two evils” is fucking awful, but it’s true.

    Have fun being the same chump you were 8 years ago.

    If you can’t talk about politics without resorting to personal insults then you must know how weak your argument is.

      You are the one deciding between the two only, not me. I will vote for a candidate that has a platform I can support and nothing else.

      It’s going to take all levels of government to unfuck us from a two party system.

      The dems continue to get elected because of the Two party system. They aren’t going to change it.

      Let me know when it does tho…

      Only one of these choices is actively trying to turn our country into a theocratic hell hole.

      Yes, and the other will happily participate in genocide, be unable to create real change in Any area I care about and then pretend they are the party of moral superiority.

      You vote blue you will still have red on your hands.

        I will vote for a candidate that has a platform I can support and nothing else.

        And in doing so you’ll waste your vote, allowing the worst possible option (Trump) to get voted in.

        The dems continue to get elected because of the Two party system. They aren’t going to change it.

        Establishment democrats won’t let it happen, but they can’t do shit if they don’t get elected, and actually good candidates get elected instead.

        Which means all levels of government are involved. And this issue needs to be fought in the primaries as well.

        You vote blue you will still have red on your hands.

        There will be red on everyone’s hands no matter what. No matter who we choose, our tax dollars are going to genocide.

        The least we can do, the bare fucking minimum is to reduce the amount of red.

        You’ll have just as much red on your hands as I do. But the difference is that you’re willing to let it be more red.

          So we should vote democrat? Lmao Are you hearing yourself?

          There will be red on everyone’s hands no matter what. No matter who we choose, our tax dollars are going to genocide.

          And people tell me I’m pessimistic.

          Our tax dollars are going to genocide because of the tacid support our politicians get from people like you.

          You are the problem, you are the person who refuses to do anything different.

          This situation didn’t start in 2016, it has been made by decades of people making the same choice you insist everyone make.

          Vote blue or else!

            So we should vote for the democrats that aren’t establishment democrats, the ones that will actually fix the situation.

            Our tax dollars are going to genocide because of the tacid support our politicians get from people like you.

            No, it’s because of the two party system.

            You are the problem, you are the person who refuses to do anything different.

            I am saying we need to do something different. Have you not been paying attention?

                That’s why we’re stuck with 3 options, with only one of them making sense.

                Here i thought you were telling me to vote for the democrats.

                I am.

        The GOP also continues to get elected because of the two party system. There’s a much better shot at taking over the Democratic party to force reform through than will ever happen with the GOP. I want to vote third party, but I’m not going to pretend that it’s safe to do so yet at the level of president.

          You are the problem.

          There’s a much better shot at taking over the Democratic party to force reform through than will ever happen with the GOP.

          It is much more likely that a 3rd party will win, than the democratic party being reformed. Change my mind.
