Wow, all those third-party voters are really grumpy in these comments.

I feel sorry for Americans. The best of the 2 viable parties is a party keen on supplying a genocide, and somehow if you vote 3rd party you're more responsible than said genocide suppliers, even worse republicans, and non-voters. That's wild.

The uncomfortable reality is that you aren't gonna solve your country's problems in the voting booths. Good luck to you, genuinely.

Until the majority of liberals in our country realize this, it's doubtful our problems will be solved at all

Keep trashing them, that will bring em over.

They need to understand that their logic is flawed. If they won’t, they will not make the right choice anyhow.

Well. Facts didn't work. Pleading with them didn't work. Now we all have to suffer because of their stupidity.

Yeah, I'm moving on to calling them fucking idiots.

I've spent countless hours trying to logically explain basic concepts to conservatives and 3rd party voters, some of whom are my actual friends and family, so I treat them with respect when I speak to them.

Trust me when I say you are NOT going to convert them.

The only hope is catching people with logic and facts when they're young and first developing their political opinions.

Our economy is now tanking because of these fools. Yet another economic crisis in my lifetime. Fuck them. I'm sick of their pathetic, stupid shit.

Are we really still doing this?

Honestly it seems like liberals hate their own base more than the reactionaries they are supposedly the opposition to

Actually that tracks, since most of the DNC has been flirting with reactionary commentators and billionaires while actively criticizing the one part of their party actually building momentum

I swear to God it's the same 5 accounts on Lemmy posting this horse-shit take.

Like - all the third party voters combined would not have kept Trump out of office. Give it up. It's nonsense and frankly pretty sad.

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 27 points 5 days ago (19 children)

I sorta disagree.

I think the campaign used to push people third party encouraged others to just not vote.

It's also a false statement.

The final numbers show Trump with 2.3 million more votes. 77.3 million (49.8%) vs 75 million (48.3%) of the total vote. Third part candidates, including write-ins, were 2.13% of the vote. 2.97 million people voted third party or write in. This is also not counting the 90 million that didn’t vote but where registered.

If every single third party voter voted Harris, she would have won.

Pointless statements from liberals who are too busy trying to find someone to blame to do anything useful about the galloping fascism in their midst.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 18 points 5 days ago

Seriously. Same old useless shit as always.

Luckily the millions of protest nonvoters are taking action to stop this fucked situation.

Right?

Oh, no, wait, people like me are fucked because it was never anything other than posing for purity points with your online friends.

And if we have actual elections in 2028, none of you will learn a goddamn thing.

The blood of millions doesn't matter a single goddamn whit to any of you so long as you can talk about LIBS BAD.
