I'm just gonna vote independent or third party and when democrats lose I'll just say they should've ran someone who represented my interests, not just someone who was 'less bad' than the republicans.
Once they lose a few elections for being the 'lesser evil,' they'll have a reason to change their platform. If being the lesser evil gets them wins, that's what they'll keep doing.
Neither party actually wants to help the working class. They're just looking out for different rich people.
In before people start telling you a third party vote is a waste, doesn't move the needle on policy and lists a handful of policies that would have to be passed before a 3rd party vote ever meant anything, while ignoring the fact that neither of the two parties would ever push through said legislation.
The Democratic cult will tell you that this will destroy America and this is the most important election etc etc. They literally always say that but this time they mean it! 🙄
Yeah, it's a pretty effective scare tactic to get people to vote for the lesser evil.
I'm just not falling for it anymore. If they're that scared, then they can run better candidates.
I'm farther down that rabbit hole I think.
If America is so fucking fragile that one more election will destroy it, then fuck it, we need to start over anyway and keeping this corpse moving is pointless.
