    Until we get ranked choice voting or similar the Green Party is a joke with zero chance of election. Voting for them only helps Republicans at this point in time.

      If less enthusiastic Republican voters have a chance to vote for a neutral party instead of voting for a shitshow, then how is it helping Republicans?!

        Lol it’s not Republicans voting for the green party, the green party has only ever siphoned votes from the Democratic candidates.

          the votes belong to the voters, not to the parties. democrats need to earn their votes just like everyone else.

            The GOP is attempting to destroy democracy, the Dems are not. The GOP are trying to subjugate me as a queer/trans person and POC as well, the Dems are not. The GOP are removing human rights from us, the Dems are not. The Dems are trying to pass green energy legislation, gun control laws, and more while the GOP are blocking it.

            Those are some pretty good god damn reasons.

                So you read all of that and you could only muster an emotional response.

                I think that says all that needs to be said. You’d rather enable our democracy to be destroyed (and you know, make it harder to do anything about fascism later) and vote in a way that will make you feel a little better about yourself while it goes into the void.

                  voting for fascist does make it harder to get fascist out of a power. that’s why I don’t vote for democrats.

                Yeah see how that turns out if the republicans win next election. They facilitate fascism by being the only alternative to actual fascist politicians. They certainly aren’t perfect, but seriously how do you think it plays out if enough morons like you vote for Putin apologist Stein? What do you think the end result will be?

                Just trying to help:

                Neoliberalism was an attempt to save both the state and capitalism. Capitalism, however, cannot be rehabilitated. It will not save us from totalitarianism or state-sponsored genocide. Capital can absorb any product, service, or practice (including government practice) into itself and then reproduce itself. It is always primed for, always flirting with, the spectre of fascism.

      if i would vote for jill stein or cornel west (i mean, i have to be honest, it’s nice to have choices) or the libertarian or no candidate at all, how do any of those votes help republicans?

      the only vote that helps republicans is a vote for a republican.

        Wrong. Dead fucking wrong. Due to our current shitty system the only parties with any chance of winning are Dems or GOP, every vote that doesn’t go to the Dems is another point the GOP has over them. If you don’t vote for Dems you’re facilitating fascism. Simple as.

        I don’t like our choices but we don’t have the option to be fucking picky right now, there’s fascists at the door and they’re working hard to ruin our lives.

          voting for the lesser evil will only serve to guarantee that you will forever be voting for the lesser evil and that you will reach the same evil that the alternative raced towards, but slower.

            Thats really poetic but observe our choices in reality in relation to the systems we built to usher them in. You don’t cut your parachute just because you’re falling anyway.

            My god, what a stupid take.

            The lesser evil is by definition the better choice! If you refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils, you are effectively choosing the greater evil. It does not get any stupider than that.

              you are choosing not to vote for evil.

                    In the trolley scenario, you chose to let 6 people die. Neither choice makes you a murderer. But one choice causes much more harm than the other.

                Democrats, at worst, are centrist, not right wing. If you can’t comprehend basic terminology then perhaps this is not the community for you.
