  • Bruh, are you really that dense? The most electoral votes a third-party candidate has ever won in our 250-year history is 88. It was Teddy Roosevelt back in 1912.

    2028 is your year though. I can feel it.🙄

    I rank independent candidates first in NYC, because it actually works as a system to prevent spoilers. I’ve cast votes for independent and green candidates in local elections. I vote for the most progressive democratic candidates in congressional primaries. What I don’t do, is live in a delusional world where voting for a third-party presidential candidate amounts to anything more than abstaining.

  • When do they blame voters? I’ve never heard of that.

    If you’re referring to me, you’re sadly mistaken. I only register as Democrat to vote in their primaries, but they are way too far from my values for me to consider myself one. I blame voters for not doing what smart people should be doing; manipulating their rigged system to gain the most influence rather than wasting your vote on the most ethical and impotent option.

  • Nor do I. I did give a shit about preventing the election of a fascist dictator. Apparently that was not as important to you.

  • If we’re speaking ideally, absolutely. All non-capitalists are forced to make concessions living in a capitalist nation. I’ve been left of the democrats since the 90s. I vote for the leftmost candidate that has a chance of winning the election. Unfortunately, that’s usually the Working Families Democrat.

  • It’s that type of flawless, disengaging thought that brought you the Trump administration. Twice. Maybe try something different to get the 90M eligible voters to show up?

  • Who said I support genocidal fascists? You’re the one who threw their vote out instead of stopping the election of the genocidal fascist. I voted for the genocidal liberal, because I understand the concept of the lesser of two evils, and know how to leverage what little say I have in this horribly corrupt and broken system.

  • A lot of good your moral superiority is doing for the Palestinians now, huh? Upgrading the 5-ton bombs to 10-tonners, with plans to pave over the West Bank for a billionaire resort.

    You really think that would’ve happened under Harris? Get real.

    Also, I don’t know what liberals you’re referring to. I’m a progressive.

  • Are you for real?

    Trump repealed restrictions on Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory. Netanyahu was so grateful, he named a settlement after him in occupied Golan Heights. He also said Israel needs to “finish the job” and stop recording their atrocities because they’re “losing the PR war.”

  • At least they’d be forced to own their complicity instead of hiding behind a pointless action.

  • Am I? More people voted against Trump than for him. If the third-party voters accepted that they can’t change the rigged system by voting third-party, Harris would’ve won.

  • A Democrat or a Republican. Welcome to the United States. Select one of the two or one will be selected for you.

  • No one said it was fine that Harris supported Israel.

    What we all said was there are only two candidates who could win the election, and they both support the genocide. We condemned the one-sided criticism, not the facts.

  • Don’t forget Germany, Italy, Canada, UK, and India. They also provided munitions to Israel after October 7th.

  • Yup. Assimilation and masking scores top of the charts. Suppressing a constant state of discomfort and anxiety. Turns out when you repeatedly abuse an autistic kid, they learn to be like everyone else to survive.

  • William Shatner says Mark Carney should offer to make the U.S. the 11th province

  • Oh I’m not saying they don’t. I’m saying Canada has very strict gun laws, and US gun enthusiasts are very firm about maintaining their right to bear arms.

    I just think that would be the biggest obstacle in US states joining Canada. It wasn’t a criticism so much as an identified point of contention.

  • I am shocked, I say. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

  • We may be talking about the same couple. Lol

    He’s a classic narcissist she’s an enabler when they’re together and more self-righteous when they’re apart. It’s one of those friendships I’d never have, had we met any time after high school.

  • I am shocked, I say. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

  • On the money. It’s so odd. I’ve known him since high school, but I feel like I don’t know them at all. It’s kind of surreal.

  • I am shocked, I say. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

  • The husband in the couple I still speak with is in finance. He knows to liquidate before a Republican takes office and buy the dip. He even tried to get me to take the maximum loan out against my 401k and move the rest to utility stocks to protect it. I should’ve listened.

  • I only still talk with one couple who voted for Trump first term but knew better this time around. I’m fairly sure they’re going to vote for Democrats in the midterms though. They want this madness to stop. I bet they go right back to voting red after that though.
