    If you vote for Republicans or Democrats, you’re supporting the same duopoly that got us to this point. If you’re terrified of Project 2025, keep in mind the Republicans will eventually win again, even if not this election.

    If you’re not in a battleground state, the easiest longterm solution is to vote 3rd party. This is the tactical decision to gather support and break the duopoly, without increasing Republican win chance since your vote won’t affect the election

          Basically, the guy is saying that if you throw away your vote hard enough, something will change. Somehow.

          Kind of light on the details there.

          Also light on understanding of basic reality. Durverger’s law and such.

            The out come of this election will either be republican or Democrat, but that doesnt mean a massive third party vote wouldnt force Democrats left, or break the party apart. Hell kamala could win and still have every democrat in a republican state vote third party.

            We want trump to lose and for the democrats to wake the fuck up. Shutting down conversations like these is what keeps the democrats in the center.

              Except that doesn’t work. The way to get Democrats out of the center is to vote in the primary, not to literally throw your vote away in service of electing Trump.

              Do the fucking work at the start of the cycle or shut the fuck up. Because all you’re doing now is aiding Trump.

            Pft! Says the guy who plays the game where there are at least THREE deities of worship. Sounds a lot like third party voting to me! Vote for Guthix! Make OSRS great again!
