This is the same tone set by the people who whined that we were refusing to vote for Biden and oh look now Biden isn’t in the race anymore because we refused to accept him.

Keep accepting the one candidate that they spoon in front of us without asking if we actually want that one

Gore won the vote. The election was stolen by the supreme court and Roger Stone it was not the fault of a 3rd party at all if the law had been followed gore would have been given Florida https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Brothers_riot

It’s a little different because people complained, Pelosi (aka the party listened) acted.

I our current political system, the game theory just doesn’t work for much besides a two party system.

Exactly.

Its applying leverage to the party saying meet these criteria or get spoiled. It’s basically a union for protest votes, and it’s effective. Which makes it extremely important in the current two party system because it’s the only way certain issues will get addressed.

Yeah absolutely how can I ever vote against war and imperialism if both parties are in favor of giving endless money to defense contractors? You’re basically saying I have to force myself to vote for the American military death machine in every single election or I’m a bad person and maybe you have a point but if you have to make that argument I think you should have a long look in the mirror

Biden didn’t drop out because some online leftists refused to vote for him, he dropped out because big donors that back the Democrats wanted him to.

Biden being forced out is a great example.

Democrats will only appeal to people not voting for them already. People showing them they won’t vote for Genocide you already changes policy.

When the pressure gets too high Democrats will cave. If they want your vote make them work for it never let them fearmonger you into giving it for free. Jill Stein 2024 baby.
