Now, the Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign is nodding to her summer job to highlight her upbringing and a platform to boost American workers that stands in stark contrast to her Republican rival Donald Trump, who “has no plan to help the middle class — just more tax cuts for billionaires,” according to a recent ad.
if enough people put in enough vote to a third party then it would become a viable party
the democrats hold a carrot to their voters every election halting any form of progress
every election we get either the Republicans actively against the people or we get the Baby Steps Party that is full of enough empty promises to keep people on the treadmill
so you dont have a solution for the present . just some hyperbole on what people maybe should kinda move towards. got it.
doesnt seem to stop you from shitting on the actually choices people need to make now.
look, im with you. progressives have been shit on for 50 years by a very conservative democratic party, but if we dont keep voting the babystepping democrats in, we dont get opportunities like we had where Bernie almost made it.
that is the piece youre flat out ignoring. we cant get more Bernie opportunities if we cant keep people successfully voting down that path. your rhetoric is antithetical to actual progress.
The ONLY way that’s going to happen is if the 3rd parties get their shit together and run a candidate and platform that isn’t insane; and if we completely eliminate the spoiler effect, which will require a complete switch to ranked choice voting or some other system that addresses it.
As of today, we have a duopoly, and the choices within that duopoly are fascism or not fascism. If fascism wins, 3rds are fucked right along with everyone else, so if you support 3rds then your best option is to vote Harris as a means of preserving a flawed but malleable system that can eventually be made compatible with your goals. Voting for anyone else, or not voting at all, just tips the scales that much closer to fascism.
I’m rooting for you. Viable 3rd parties would be a great addition to our system, but that’s going to take systemic changes beyond the scope of one election or party. You’ve got a LOT of work to do, but keep your eyes on the prize and don’t let your work space burn to the ground.
