So you won't vote for Biden I assume?
not allowed to vote only allowed to watch
Well we Americans don't really have the luxury of voting 3rd party. Either we vote for Biden or we are fucked.
and that is what the next generation will also say in both parties thus perpetuating the cycle of a singular two party authoritative system
How do you think our system works, dude? Nobody here chooses to do it this way for fun. It's a two party system. It's rigged to be that way. Not our choice. Any other party aside from the GOP and Democrats is just an illusion. We don't have a choice here.
Really love it when self-proclaimed "experts" think they can criticize us and our country's politics when they can't even vote or even know how things actually work here.
"It's rigged"
"we have no choice"
"Don't you dare vote for anyone else or you're going to ruin everything!"
Yes let's pretend they didn't sabotage and fuck over everyone who voted for Bernie. Not only did we not get shit, we also helped put Trump in power by voting who we did. What part of this don't you get? Keep pretending our politics aren't rigged, but I'm not so naive and clueless about it.
Voting third party isn't a reasonable option when one of the leading candidates is actively dismantling democracy. Voting for Biden is like saying "yes, I'd like to keep having a voice in my government"
I mean, does it really matter unless they live in like one of 6 swing states? If you live in a blue or red state (which is most Americans) you should really vote third party, and they shouldn't be scolded for that.
Better to vote strategically. A viable third party will need to be developed in local and state government, start snagging seats in the house, eventually a congressional seat, etc etc. The presidency should really not even be the goal of a credible third party until they have laid the groundwork.
Voting Greens in New York state (for example) is a valid option, and if they meet a certain threshold (5%?) they can get campaign financing to do the things you talk about.
Voting for this green party at this time? That's not strategic at all. You'd be doing the exact opposite of the thing you claim to be doing. This green party is a corrupt shell of what it should be voting for it lets them know that they can continue to doing what they're doing. Voting for this green party is exactly why we don't have viable third parties. It's an entity purposely created to be absurd and to drive away voters. Let it die and get a real party.
Can you translate this into English please?
How about 1000 words worth (plus about a dozen in this picture).
Boom!

Green party is corrupt and idiotic. They are also more or less controlled opposition if not literally then by effect. Creating a new third party would probably be more viable due to how bad the Green party is.
Also can we not name parties after colors, its a bit too Romantic and makes me nervous theyll become sports teams.
