If you vote for Republicans or Democrats, you're supporting the same duopoly that got us to this point. If you're terrified of Project 2025, keep in mind the Republicans will eventually win again, even if not this election.
If you're not in a battleground state, the easiest longterm solution is to vote 3rd party. This is the tactical decision to gather support and break the duopoly, without increasing Republican win chance since your vote won't affect the election
This just may be the dumbest thing I've heard today.
Why?
Because it suggests 3rd party voting isn't bad
Pft! Says the guy who plays the game where there are at least THREE deities of worship. Sounds a lot like third party voting to me! Vote for Guthix! Make OSRS great again!
Basically, the guy is saying that if you throw away your vote hard enough, something will change. Somehow.
Kind of light on the details there.
Also light on understanding of basic reality. Durverger's law and such.
The out come of this election will either be republican or Democrat, but that doesnt mean a massive third party vote wouldnt force Democrats left, or break the party apart. Hell kamala could win and still have every democrat in a republican state vote third party.
We want trump to lose and for the democrats to wake the fuck up. Shutting down conversations like these is what keeps the democrats in the center.
Except that doesn't work. The way to get Democrats out of the center is to vote in the primary, not to literally throw your vote away in service of electing Trump.
Do the fucking work at the start of the cycle or shut the fuck up. Because all you're doing now is aiding Trump.
Democrats rig their primaries
It depends on the primary, but showing up and getting involved is always better than coming in at the last moment to complain. Because if you do the latter, you're instantly told to fuck off. As you should be.
You want meaningful change? Get involved and play by the rules of the game. Work on your local politicians. Get them involved in seeking change, because the state level politicians listen to the locals, and the national level listen to the state.
Basically, do the work or shut the fuck up.
They sure do, and they even spend big money trying to oust their own progressives. Definitely gonna shift to the left though lol
Duvergers law is not a law at all, but a tautology
Keep thinking that sunshine, maybe you can make it real if you believe hard enough. For the rest of us, we live in reality, where Durverger's law is in fact a law. It's Political Science, not physics, but it holds true nonetheless.
it's so vague as to be useless.
Dangerously stupid.
