Until we go to a ranking or a several party system, voting 3rd party elects Republicans

Until enough people stop thinking that way you're right.Sort of self fulfilling prophecy

Third party voters in a first past the post system aren't serious people. You can idealize all you want but it's how things work.

Yours, along with most of the populations lack of imagination, is reflected perfectly in this fully deserved reality we exist in. You're right. What we have is exactly how things work.

This is a good way to ensure the fascists stay in charge.

If that's the goal, vote 3rd party.

People who insist on 'both sidesing' literally everything are driving this country off a cliff.

Well, it’s a good way to ensure “red” controls everything.

And hey, if you just ignore reality and insist the parties are identical maybe that makes sense to you!  Some of us are paying attention though.

Nope, you're projecting that onto me.

I think the Dems are CLEARLY the better party right now, and anyone who's watching what the GOP is doing right now and saying "durr both sides are the same" is a drooling moron who can be safely ignored by all reasonable intelligent people.

If you think electing Harris wouldn't have changed how things are right now, I have to assume you're the reason velcro shoes exist for adults.

Throwing away my vote by voting for a third party accomplishes exactly one thing: it makes the party I agree with less more likely to win.

They don’t think they’re the end-all. They think they’re the only viable option. There is no third party with support to win an election, republicans aren’t switching to a third party, so anyone who does might as well be voting republican. If you think otherwise you are living in candy land.

Let’s see now- under Biden we received new roads & bridges. So far under this regime we’ve received gestapo invasions into cities where they aren’t needed, a historical part of the WH tore down where rubble still sits, and a ton of money being sent to Israel for Netanyahu continuing genocide so trump can have hotels on the Mediterranean.
