This thread kind of disproved itself

A democratic that is average at democracy is better than a conservative who is great at authoritarianism.

I want to hereby thank the people who voted "third party" because "both parties are bad". Yeah. Thanks....

[–] Safeguard@beehaw.org -3 points 2 months ago

This wasn't a Republicans vs. Democrats election. It was Maga vs. Democracy. And people STILL voted for "something else".

Let's say the people where 50/50 split. People who vote maga will 100% vote for trump. So on the other side you CANNOT vote anything else BUT Kamala. Otherwise you are only diluting her chances.

Third has never won. And would not win this time. So by choosing third party you are enhancing Trumps chances of winning.

What I constantly hear is deflections about how voting doesn't matter, but it fucking does, yes the Democrats suck but they are better, it's not even close.

Fight back and do everything you can to change what's going on and blame Democrats but don't sell out an entire election cycle to literal Satan to make that point

all that does is irreversible damage

I think of it like this, democrats are rectal cancer, but rebublicans are gushing arterial spray. Not all, of course. Generalizations are lazy. But the choice is clear, and that choice is rectal cancer.

Genocide deniers suck, including the uyghur and tibetan genocide deniers, including the american native and middle eastern genocide deniers... They all suck...
