He made the comment a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded statement that he has spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.

    Throughout my life, people like you have said the exact same words to third party voters.

    Through these decades, democrats did very little to replace First past the post voting in states they control. Considering how they admit every election they understand the flaws of the voting system, yet do nothing to fix the issues they have pointed out time and again, democrats own this loss.

    This is of course ignoring the number of 3rd party voters would not have changed this outcome. But facts don’t matter, you want to corral the left towards your blue conservative party.

    Democrats preferred trump winning over having to compete for your vote.

    Party over country. Pride and arrogance beyond measure. Democrats have proven that they do not deserve to go it alone against the republicans.

    What excuse do you have to deny ourselves multiple attempts at stopping the Republicans? To deny your country men/women/others full representation in the political process?

    If you really were concerned with 3rd party voters, you would be tirelessly working to replace FPTP voting in your state. As such, I invite you to my asklemmy post to discuss your new commitment to passing electoral reform in your state. Looking forward to it.
