Yeah voting third party just seems like a no brainer to me as well
checking Harris’s website there’s no policy whatsoever so the average person doesn’t really know what they’re voting for. Yet people say to vote for Kamala to save democracy , in a just world if there’s a person on the ballot that can end democracy, they would be thrown out right off the bat yet I see no one questioning this? Absolute insanity
There's too much freedom in the US to throw anyone off the ballot, unlike authoritarian Venezuela. Sure, it might cause us to slip into fascism, costing millions of marginalized people their lives, but isn't it worth it? For the freedom?
Well, except third parties. You can throw them off the ballot along with the coffee and the morning newspaper.
Democracy is when you have to vote for a predetermined slate of corporate mercenaries and if you refuse they'll take the ball away.
Honestly same, like in México in 2016 the only 2 main parties were the conservatives and the neolibs, if people didnt risk voting for new 3rd Party socdems, Morena would have never won
The libs keep telling me that if I don't vote I have no right to complain, so I'm pulling the lever for Claudia de la Cruz.
It's pretty hilarious how much I see people advocating for voting third parties in leftist (and allegedly leftist) subs, but the liberals still call it "anti-voting rhetoric". /r/Anarchy4Everyone is full of that shit. I think the number of actual anarchists in that sub can barely be counted in the noise.
I've worked on a campaign before and I've seen the data they look at. If you're in a Dem majority state and you vote Dem, they don't care about you. Your vote is decided. If you're a "potential undecided" voter, then they'll try to win your vote more. If thousands of people vote socialist, the nerds who look at stats will notice it.
not worth it when you consider that you might get jury duty
Death to America
Jury duty sucks, but I'm actually kind of itching to be called again so I can exercise jury nullification to make every capitalist, cop, and politician guilty/liable and every working-class person innocent/forgiven. As is my constitutional right, allegedly (so long as I don't brag about it to the judge or the attorneys during selection).
Way ahead of you I still brag to liberals about some past third-party votes that make them scream and tremble.
Libs still wake up in the middle of the night sweating about Ralph Nader 25 years later but they still tell me his campaign "accomplished nothing"
Yep. He haunted some of them even in their mothers' wombs. That's definitely an accomplishment!
