I'd love to see a link showing this sentiment. I've literally never seen anyone say this lmao.
I guess you're simply too lazy to look through my comments?

Are you drunk? Nowhere in that comment is anyone saying to vote conservative. In fact, they advocate for PSL. I don't know if you know this, but PSL is leftwing.
Username does not track lol.
By splitting the vote for the progressive, you, unfortunately, will effectively aid the conservative in this particular race.
I would LOVE to get more support around 3rd parties, as I mentioned, I work with WFP and DSA to help other parties.
Unfortunately, we live in a first past the post system, the dominant 2 are the only ones that have a chance in these instances.
I despise how liberals will attempt to blame 3rd parties for any losses democrats receive as if the individuals had a magic power to win the election on their own and threw it away as that argument cuts both ways. Rather than a candidate being forced to meet their constituents which overwhelmingly support progressive policy and people choosing to not vote for someone who doesn't represent them, which is a fair position to have.
But let's live in reality here. Look at the California race and the republican is at the top while the dem vote is split between a progressive class traitor billionaire and an aipac funded establishment dem. Thankfully, in a way, it's a jungle primary, but in a standard primary that republican would have just won. So, effectively, they're telling us to elect the republican by disqualifying the progressive or splitting their vote further.
C'mon guy. Don't be disingenous here. I asked the question of "do you want me to vote for the conservative" based on the fact that we have a de-facto 2 party system and the incumbent dem dropped out of the race leaving 1 progressive dem and 1 rape-ublican terrorist. Never did I claim that they told me to vote for a conservative directly nor did you request for a link outside of the claims that I made. Reading comprehension may be difficult, but that's why there are quotes around what I did claim that they said.
Not my fault you cant see in color, and only see red and blue. The divine right of kings seemed inalienable, and look where we are now. Also, I don't give a shit about down votes lol, I've seen the garbage you guys up vote!
You just told someone who told you they work with 3rd party and advocacy groups and who told you they want RCV and popular representation that they're "colorblind?" Are you drunk? That reading comprehension is getting you again.
