Mfw I vote for a 3rd party candidate who aligns with many of my ideals and both a Democrat and a Republican break down my doors screaming that I wasted my vote and should vote (person) because its (not the other person) even though I don't agree with either shitheads policies or agendas.

Then they're gonna complain about how the system is shit.

Literally just vote third parties and kick those dinosaurs out of congress

Yea I have lately found myself very frustrated with liberals, and politics as a whole lately. I browse both right and left stuff online and they each mirror eachothers sentiments like sports team fandoms. The liberals just hold the dnc party line in the name of fighting fascism cause most of them have done extremely well in the current political and economic climate, whether they admit it or not, capitalism and american democracy has suited them just fine and they don't wanna release the pearls just yet. The right is just shit, tho there are some lines of logic from conservatives I don't outright dismiss, but they're mostly just ignorant assholes. 🤷 I voted Biden, I will again, but the whole wasted vote shit is just laughable tbh. Give me something good, and I'll pick it.

Don't call leftists "liberals", it's inaccurate af

Btw don't complain about the current landscape just to then say you're voting the party that is just like the other instead of voting a third party

It's your vote, so you vote for who you want to. I always will no matter what anybody says.

People have this dumbass mindset that your vote "doesn't count" if you vote for somebody who doesn't end up winning. So they vote like sheep for who they are "supposed to" vote for.

Every election has losers, and your vote still counts just as much no matter who you vote for so vote for who you want.

Unfortunately this is a symptom of FPTP. One is generally ill-advised to vote for exaclty who they believe in in such a system, and instead is advised to vote strategically. A rank ballot hypothetically would solve this issue.
