Genocide supporting Liberals are still in denial from 2024 and refuse to learn any lesson from it.
Still not learning. Some kids really were left behind
You seem like a DNC policy wonk
I am not even an american or give a fuck about DNC. It is basic math for a flawed electoral system. If you dont vote against Trump(or his successor), they will win. And the only alternative is the Democratic Party.
Your first priority as an american is to prevent the re-election of literal nazis. Your second priority is to change the "first past the post" electoral system. And then, once you remove the nazis out of government and have a functional electoral system, we can talk about third parties.
How can in good faith vote for a third party? What effect would that have? A vote for a third party, is a vote for the republicans. You assume that this would force the democratic party to lean more left? Bro, you probably wont even have free and fair elections, what are you talking about. We are not in a "we must change the democratic party" phase of reality, we are in "the next elections might not happen" phase.
