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

Wow, all those third-party voters are really grumpy in these comments.

Alienates voter base by refusing to meet constituent demands or running a proper primary

"It must be these damn 3rd party voters, that's why we lost every single swing state"

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.

Did you try fielding a decent candidate? No. You brought pro genocide candidates. There's no logic to fix that, my friend. The DNC and RNC defend their funders, and third party voters understand this.

Boggles my mind how all these people desperately trying to whip everyone into supporting the two-party system, just assume that third-party voters and non-voters automatically owe their vote to their party. The sheer vanity and arrogance of it.

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.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Sprawl@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

It basically means they don’t understand the rules of the game. If they are willing to learn, cool, but many are not.

[–] Bristingr@lemm.ee 1 points 19 hours ago

No? My vote for President literally does not matter in California. I voted for Harris because Fuck Trump, but my vote doesn't mean shit in this state. I literally have more value voting 3rd party than I do for either major candidate because of how the Federal Election Funding requirements work for 3rd parties.
