Vote blue no matter who. Lol

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (3 children)

For the immediate future. Sure.

I think there’s a sentiment that we need a third party.

No - we need a second party. The Democratic Party may be corrupt, but the Republican Party committed suicide. The full downfall will be when Donald Trump dies (hopefully not of old age).

People have been saying the Republican Party is collapsing for decades. It's kind of like how capitalism was supposed to collapse under the weight of its contradictions. Doesn't seem to be happening any time soon.

Absolutely not. Burn the whole thing to the ground.

Alright. Were you still planning on casting a vote (write in "None" or something) or were you kust planning on decreasing your voting demographics influence?

[–] Subdivide6857@midwest.social 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I’ll be voting for socialists. My votes will no longer go towards the people that actively work against the working class. The two right winger parties in this hell hole can go fuck themselves.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Same, and it's a shame that the Dems can't fail hard enough to get the ideologues to do anything differently.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

As long as you're voting.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, BUT, we gotta get those conservative fuckers out first. Baby steps.

[–] Subdivide6857@midwest.social 9 points 1 week ago

That’s been the game. Back and forth political theater. A vote for a billionaire bootlicker is a vote against the working class.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (6 children)

it took decades of this sort of strategy to get us here; expecting an immediate change is unrealistic.

I'm not sure where you've been recently, but it seems pretty apparent that if you're a president with control of Congress, you can fundamentally change American's culture and governance systems in mere months.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

you mean like the democrats had in the first 2 years of biden's term?

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

That's exactly what I mean.

Unless they're an economic populist.

Then it's all: "Nope, not like that." from your local Democratic ideologues.

Unless we fail to ratfuck a moderate or socialist in the primary. Then absolutely under no conditions should you vote blue.
