Right? The people that keep pushing that rhetoric are either acting in bad faith or dumb enough to believe voting 3rd party actually makes a positive difference in Federal elections with FPTP voting
Edit: They also conveniently forget that the Democratic Party is an umbrella of many different beliefs, with many members having very different values, cultures, and backgrounds - whereas the Republican Party is mostly wealthy, racist white men
lol I was literally just pushing back against others in a different thread who all wanted to go out guns blazing and I was the one saying I would take my chances with getting arrested if that means I get to see my family again by working with lawyers.
I’m not doing anything illegal until me, my family, or my close circle is directly attacked with deadly force. I will protest in the streets, vote in every election, spread info locally to try to organize and get everyone on the same page, call representatives (lol like that does anything, but I still do it), etc.
The Democratic party is going to stop the immediate fascist threat, yes, and everyone should always vote D. But they’re not going to solve any of the issues that brought about this entire thing in the first place. They represent the monied interests. There are some progressives who I fully support, and they caucus with the Dems.
The smarter monied interests will see how fucking stupid this all was, especially for the billionaires.
It’s always been better to be a billionaire in the US than a billionaire in Russia. Why they’d want to make us more like Russia doesn’t really check out.
Well you better go vote because you ain’t gonna do shit else and you know it.
