My mama always said you've got to put the past behind you before you can move on.

For you who loves to complain about how I'm not doing what you want, yes I'll vote 3rd party again.

You don’t deserve any sympathy, sorry troll.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Thanks for reminding us that you're a fucking idiot.

Damn buddy you could at least try to educate yourself before throwing stones.

Maybe you should vote 3rd party next time instead of throwing your vote away on some diet-Republican party that keeps getting Donald Trump elected.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah bro. I'm not stupid enough to vote 3rd party when a 3rd party candidate stands exactly 0% chance of winning.

In 2024 the 3rd party candidate with the most votes got a whopping half of a single percent of the total votes cast. Confirming that 3rd party candidates stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

You'd know that if you weren't stupid.

It boggles my mind that less than a year ago fools like you found out exactly what happens when you vote 3rd party when no 3rd party has worked to become viable and yet your hamster brain is ready to go for it again. Zero lessons learned.

Nah, unlike you I'll be smart and live in reality where the safest bet for our nation is voting for the viable non-fascist party that we can then work to reform once we're sure the fascist party is out of the picture.

P.S. Your link is fucking stupid because none of the fools that voted 3rd party knew whether their choice was going to make the difference or not when they voted. So they're still fucking idiots who just happened to be inconsequential idiots this time around.

Nah bro. I'm not stupid enough to vote 3rd party when a 3rd party candidate stands exactly 0% chance of winning.

As opposed to the diet-Republican candidates who also have a 0% chance at winning as demonstrated by Donald Trump getting elected a second time and the Republicans controlling every branch of government? Sound logic there.

In 2024 the 3rd party candidate with the most votes got a whopping half of a single percent of the total votes cast. Confirming that 3rd party candidates stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

That's because people like yourself decided to throw their votes away voting for the people colluding with Republicans to wipe our democracy out.

It boggles my mind that less than a year ago fools like you found out exactly what happens when you vote Democratic party when no Democratic candidate has worked to become viable and yet your hamster brain is ready to go for it again. Zero lessons learned.

Nah, unlike you I'll be smart and live in reality where the safest bet for our nation is voting for the viable non-fascist party that we can then work to reform once we're sure the fascist party is out of the picture.

So then you do support third parties? They're the only non-fascist parties we have in this country, but I'm sure a smart guy like yourself knows that. Please describe this scenario where "the fascist party is out of the picture" because I'd love to hear it. It's quite comical to see you write this immediately after talking about how you "live in reality."

P.S. Your link is fucking stupid because none of the fools that voted 3rd party knew whether their choice was going to make the difference or not when they voted. So they're still fucking idiots who just happened to be inconsequential idiots this time around.

It's quite telling when someone, on numerous occasions, has to include in their argument how smart they are and how much of an idiot everyone else is. That's the cornerstone of a well reasoned argument.
