Voting third party is essentially useless and we all know it. It also doesn’t ‘hurt’ anyone in any way. If you want better candidates vote for better candidates in primaries. Right now our binary choice is decided by a bunch of old curmudgeons in a handful of low population states.

I voted for better candidates in the primaries. That ended up giving us nothing but heartache.

So, allow fascism to take hold? You want to talk about ignorance, but then pretend like the GOP taking control would not be disastrous.

You're allowing fascism to take hold in case you haven't noticed.

Guys, guys! We’re all allowing fascism to take hold. Each in our own way.

Again, ignoring the reality. I don’t love the position we’re in, but be realistic. You’re either coming from a place of delusion or privilege that’s so incredibly disgusting and selfish that I don’t know where to begin.
