Are we really still doing this?
Honestly it seems like liberals hate their own base more than the reactionaries they are supposedly the opposition to
Actually that tracks, since most of the DNC has been flirting with reactionary commentators and billionaires while actively criticizing the one part of their party actually building momentum
No. It’s the wedge throwing SatansMaggotyCumFart’s post. They love dividing the left.
It's just good praxis when you divide the electorate and usher in a fascist regime that will kill millions, but 'divisive' when you criticize that?
Too bad you didn’t participate when a vote was all that was needed. It’s going to take a lot more than that now.
"Voting isn't enough!" mfers doing nothing that substantiates change now that fascism is literally in the driver's seat.
Thanks. Me and everyone else who's going to fucking die under this administration thank you for your immeasurable left purity.

Keep trashing them, that will bring em over.
They need to understand that their logic is flawed. If they won’t, they will not make the right choice anyhow.
🤷
Well. Facts didn't work. Pleading with them didn't work. Now we all have to suffer because of their stupidity.
Yeah, I'm moving on to calling them fucking idiots.
I've spent countless hours trying to logically explain basic concepts to conservatives and 3rd party voters, some of whom are my actual friends and family, so I treat them with respect when I speak to them.
Trust me when I say you are NOT going to convert them.
The only hope is catching people with logic and facts when they're young and first developing their political opinions.
Our economy is now tanking because of these fools. Yet another economic crisis in my lifetime. Fuck them. I'm sick of their pathetic, stupid shit.

I feel sorry for Americans. The best of the 2 viable parties is a party keen on supplying a genocide, and somehow if you vote 3rd party you're more responsible than said genocide suppliers, even worse republicans, and non-voters. That's wild.
The uncomfortable reality is that you aren't gonna solve your country's problems in the voting booths. Good luck to you, genuinely.

Until the majority of liberals in our country realize this, it's doubtful our problems will be solved at all

It's the two party system in a post. Don't worry, your democracy is dead either way. Whether engaging in TPS or ignoring it for a fart in a blizzard vote, it's all far too late.
I voted for myself
I'm not going to blame the 3rd party voters. At least they voted.
Put your anger towards those who couldn't even be bothered to do so.
How about both?
Yeah, non-voters are the dumbest of the dumb. Period.
But if you voted 3rd party in a PRESIDENTIAL election, you're a goddamn idiot.
It basically means they don’t understand the rules of the game. If they are willing to learn, cool, but many are not.

I swear to God it's the same 5 accounts on Lemmy posting this horse-shit take.
Like - all the third party voters combined would not have kept Trump out of office. Give it up. It's nonsense and frankly pretty sad.
I sorta disagree.
I think the campaign used to push people third party encouraged others to just not vote.
Even IF that's true it's still terrible. What do you think? You're gonna chastise people into agreeing with you? Is some "holier-than-though" attitude gonna do it?
Really just seems like a circlejerk
No I'm just saying people who think protest voting or throwing your vote away is ever smart, this is proof it isn't.
This really entirely could've been avoided and this was one of the steps in a stairwell of bullshit that could've stopped it all

Reminding everyone that being a Nazi supporter is, in fact, bad, is good practice. That exact mindset of "Never be mean to anyone who supports fascism 🥺" is half the fucking reason that fascism got mainstreamed in this country. People sitting on the fence are more likely to shy away from something that is thoroughly condemned than something that gets a "Well, your support of shipping undesirables to death camps is a Respectable Position, let's agree to disagree 😊"

If someone's dumb enough to vote 3rd party in a PRESIDENTIAL election then there's no getting them to agree with common sense. The point is to call their dipshittery out with logic so that young people who are forming their opinions see how stupid they are and avoid also being that stupid.
It's also a false statement.
The final numbers show Trump with 2.3 million more votes. 77.3 million (49.8%) vs 75 million (48.3%) of the total vote. Third part candidates, including write-ins, were 2.13% of the vote. 2.97 million people voted third party or write in. This is also not counting the 90 million that didn’t vote but where registered.
If every single third party voter voted Harris, she would have won.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election
That's.... Not how US elections work. Otherwise Hillary would've won 2016
Looking at the state results it doesn't appear that any state would've flipped blue if all third party voters excluding Robert Kennedy and Oliveros (libertarian) voters because they definitely would not have gone Harris went Harris. Even if you count the right wing 3rd party ones she only would've won 2 more states and still lost.
If we used the popular vote I definitely would've voted Harris, but as it is Trump was going to win my state by huge margins so I just voted who I really wanted knowing it made no difference. In races other than president I went Dem.

Pointless statements from liberals who are too busy trying to find someone to blame to do anything useful about the galloping fascism in their midst.
Luckily the millions of protest nonvoters are taking action to stop this fucked situation.
Right?
Oh, no, wait, people like me are fucked because it was never anything other than posing for purity points with your online friends.
And if we have actual elections in 2028, none of you will learn a goddamn thing.
The blood of millions doesn't matter a single goddamn whit to any of you so long as you can talk about LIBS BAD.

Fuck you people for opening the barn door. We're sick of cleaning up your mess.
