This thread kind of disproved itself

The problem with American democracy is the voting system. A party that isn't either thre democrats or the republicans will never win because people know if they vote for anything else there vote will be pointless.

America needs preferential voting but will never implement it because it would mean the two party system will be demolished (which is in neither of the two party's best interest.)

The blue MAGA types are moooostly on .world, but they have the most users, so... .ml are mostly CCP with the same degree of dedication, and blahaj is that but with Likud. I just block .world and blahaj because they are right wingers beyond saving.

A democratic that is average at democracy is better than a conservative who is great at authoritarianism.

What I constantly hear is deflections about how voting doesn't matter, but it fucking does, yes the Democrats suck but they are better, it's not even close.

Fight back and do everything you can to change what's going on and blame Democrats but don't sell out an entire election cycle to literal Satan to make that point

all that does is irreversible damage
