I've historically voted 3rd party. This past election i voted for a party that did not represent me or the policies I support, all out of fear of orange man. What did compromising my values do? Fuck all.
Voting 3rd party in America sends the message to the losing party that if they wanted that vote there is policy they need to adopt. There are things they need to change.
Issue in this election is even if every 3rd party vote went to kamala, she would have still lost, because they ran THAT MUCH of a terrible campaign. Their message was tone deaf. It was generic and lifeless. I could have been a better campaign manager for them and frankly that's sad.
People get pissy when you criticize dems, but the fact of the matter is they are very much the problem in this country too. Saying they aren't as bad as Republicans only speaks to just how awful they are, not how good dems are. Until people recognize this and demand change everyone is going to be stuck supporting one of two evils or maybe a 3rd party can steal enough support to replace one of the main 2.
All that hinges on trump not going full dictator. At this point I don't have confidence enough Americans would actually stand up to stop him.
You done the right thing, don't fall for the psyops.
Kamala's campaign was not that terrible in comparison to the state of Trump. Your fellow citizens failed you by letting that eejit gain ground.
I am an anarchist. I've never voted. (Not American) But, Bush, Clinton, Obama, much of the same. Trump takes us down a dangerous path. One in which dissident and protest will be squashed.
This. So many people are trashing Kamala's campaign while completely ignoring the dumpster fire campaign Trump ran. Probably because Trump being a dumpster fire is just commonly accepted by now. The guy talked about immigrants eating people's pets and admitting that he only had concepts of plans. It was comical.
But everyone has to focus on Kamala's campaign because Democrats have ALWAYS been held to a higher standard.
She had to be flawless and he got to be lawless.
Shameful.
