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.

Why? The election was won and lost in swing states, and voter turnout in swing states was roughly the same in 2024 and 2020.

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.

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.

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.

Obviously the solution is for more people to vote third party
If enough people vote third party than they are voting for a major party again.

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.
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"
I voted for myself
I voted for Kodos
