    It’s laughable how quick some are to assume that anyone challenging the status quo must be secretly in league with the GOP. Refusing to fall in line with the duopoly doesn’t mean selling out—it means standing up.

      Setting up a left wing write in campaign in FPTP states helps the GOP. End of story. They’re either doing it out of stupidity or collusion.

      If they wanted to actually increase their political power they would be running candidates in the Dem primary, or vocally supporting or protesting the Dem in the general as a voting bloc.

        Claiming that a left-wing write-in campaign automatically helps the GOP is a convenient way to dismiss any challenge to the duopoly. The real issue is that the system itself is broken, and pretending that funneling everything through the Democratic Party will lead to meaningful change is naive at best. Running as a bloc in primaries or supporting the status quo just perpetuates the same tired cycle that has failed to address the root issues for decades. True change requires challenging the system, not bending to its confines.

          It’s not challenging duopoly at all, it’s using it to advantage the GOP. It’s not even attempting to change the system, it’s entrenching it further by ensuring the opposition wins.

          Again, there are ways to challenge our election system that work better than punching yourself in the face.

              So you don’t give a shit about the socialist platform, you just want to whine that your guy isn’t on top.

              At least be honest with yourself.

                What are you even talking about? My “guy”?! I’m not voting for a guy. Are you confused and maybe responded to the wrong comment? Are you ok? You realize that I actually created and mod this community, right?!
