Which is why it’s a shame to see you fight each other as if that isn’t the case.

I would wholeheartedly recommend reading How To Win Friends And Influence People (or at least this summary). Especially if you’re trying to convince people to vote in the midterms.

    Disingenuous, they clearly state they believe it is the best we can hope to achieve, not that it is what they want. I don’t think they’re correct, but this is a bad faith reading. Avoid this in the future for stronger left cohesion.

      No, that is not how it works. If I want a filthy street to be clean, then not adding more trash is not a solution. You have to actually remove existing trash. Voting the same party again that has failed people now and in the past is simply not the solution. If you vote shit instead of garbage because shit is at least compositing… the street stays filthy.

        Voting the same party again that has failed people now and in the past is simply not the solution.

        It is in a federal election since no 3rd party can win a federal election. Literally.

        If you want to vote for something other than Dems or Repubs in local elections, even though no 3rd party is putting forth any effort to be viable in that arena either, then go for it and I’ll be cheering for you. If you want to pull that shit in a federal election. Well, time to return to school and receive a better education.

        The most popular 3rd party candidate in the 2024 election received 0.5% of the total votes cast.

          You do not vote anything that would actually change things.l because that is not going to happen anyway, since nobody votes them. Oh there is an easy solution mate, not sure if I should tell you.

        What I’m saying is, it was clear the other commenter did not want a filthy street. Their methods may have been ineffective at achieving that, but claiming they wanted it is incorrect.
