This is why you don't fuck around and abstain from voting or shit on your vote and throw it in the trash with a non-viable 3rd party.
Because then conservatives gain control and trash our economy (again) and, oh yeah, bring fascism to America.
Or maybe we should blame the Republicans for electing republicans? You know, the ones who caused this?
Yeah. Sure. Blame them. They're felon rapist pedo supporters. I guarantee they don't care. They're lost causes. They're traitors to our nation. They have no shame, so blaming them doesn't do anything. You're literally just shouting into the wind.
So I'm going to speak to the people who aren't lost causes.
NO 3rd PARTY IS VIABLE AND NO 3rd PARTY IS TRYING TO BE
Our nation just got a crystal clear lesson in what happens when you don't vote or vote for a non-viable 3rd party.
Fascism. Fascism happens.
None of this crazy ass wild shit was happening when Dems were in control before January.
If you want to vote 3rd party, do it in local elections, not federal elections. It makes literally no sense to do so in federal elections. No 3rd party is putting in the work to become viable. The most popular 3rd party candidate shows up right before every election, loses, then disappears again. And she only got half of a single percent of the total votes cast.
A 3rd party president is not happening anytime soon, and probably not in our lifetimes.
So if you don't particularly like Dems either, how about you just vote AGAINST fascism?
I don't care about your feelings. I don't care about your ideals. Those don't mean anything when fascists take control. Do the intelligent thing and vote for a party that isn't bringing fascism to America and then reform it by voting out the members of that party that won't get onboard with progressive policies. Conservatives just reformed their party (into a fascist party) over the last decade or so. It's proof that parties can be reformed. And it's not the first time in American history.
Why not both? Republicans lock the fuck in when it comes to voting in just enough locations to flip seats. They turn out to vote in the necessary areas, where democrats don't.
I might not be able to change any republican's mind by telling them they are stupid as hell for voting the way they do (or give them facts that they would just ignore), but I can show up and encourage all my friends and family to vote against a fascist in our red district.
Because @DarkFuture@lemmy.world argues in bad faith and never blames both.
Question.
Are you fucking stupid?
How do I "never" blame both?
I'm anti-conservative as fuck and you can see that in my comments.
There are no conservatives on Lemmy. Even the conservative sub is anti-conservative because we ran them out of that sub. And if there were, they're fucking cultists. Me calling them out isn't going to do anything. There's no point in directing any blame towards any specific conservative, because they don't fucking care.
So I'm going to continue calling out the fools that didn't vote or voted 3rd party because they're potentially redeemable.
