    Innuendo Studios has a good video on this in their alt right playbook series. Republicans will gladly appeal to the far right, Democrats want to distance themselves from the left as much as possible and are instead focused on also appealing to the right…

    Ultimately, while a lot of the parties policies are different on the surface, Democrats still win when Republicans are in power because they’re part of the same class, hoarding wealth works for both sides. Democrats seemingly only exist to make the system vageuly stomachable (is that even a word?) to the rest of America.

    Voting Harris is the right thing to do from a lesser evil standpoint. I think everyone should, but I understand those who won’t from an anti-genocide standpoint and won’t blame them for it, unless they vote Trump, that’s unacceptable. You might as well write in Bernie if you’re thinking Green, they got the same chance of winning. Ultimately, it’s on Harris and her campaign strategy for failing to part from Biden on Israel. They are taking that risk, which I think is very dumb and dangerous considering the sentiment of voters, it’s on them whether it pans out or not.

    What’s far more important is for everyone to vote down ballot. Find out which options support progressive policies and vote for them.

    So what you’re saying is that we only need to push down on the Democrats lever and we’ll fly to the left

    Ohai!

    I’m glad someone improved it though, I was on my phone when I did it and couldn’t get the finger to overlap the sign!

    To be clear though, it’s not a “fake” two party system, it’s a very real systematically entrenched duopoly.

    The primary way that the Dems keep it from going left is by keeping the stupid filibuster around, hamstringing the ability for them to pass legislation when they hold the senste, house, and oval office. They can achieve the same goal by holding only one of the three and it isn’t like the Republicans respected the completely voluntary filibuster when it was time for them to stack the courts.
