They’re both supporting the ongoing genocide. This isn’t helpful for deciding who to vote for.

You are the one deciding between the two only, not me. I will vote for a candidate that has a platform I can support and nothing else.

It’s going to take all levels of government to unfuck us from a two party system.

The dems continue to get elected because of the Two party system. They aren’t going to change it.

Let me know when it does tho…

Only one of these choices is actively trying to turn our country into a theocratic hell hole.

Yes, and the other will happily participate in genocide, be unable to create real change in Any area I care about and then pretend they are the party of moral superiority.

You vote blue you will still have red on your hands.

And in doing so you’ll waste your vote, allowing the worst possible option (Trump) to get voted in.

Establishment democrats won’t let it happen, but they can’t do shit if they don’t get elected, and actually good candidates get elected instead.

Which means all levels of government are involved. And this issue needs to be fought in the primaries as well.

You vote blue you will still have red on your hands.

There will be red on everyone’s hands no matter what. No matter who we choose, our tax dollars are going to genocide.

The least we can do, the bare fucking minimum is to reduce the amount of red.

You’ll have just as much red on your hands as I do. But the difference is that you’re willing to let it be more red.

So we should vote democrat? Lmao Are you hearing yourself?

And people tell me I’m pessimistic.

Our tax dollars are going to genocide because of the tacid support our politicians get from people like you.

You are the problem, you are the person who refuses to do anything different.

This situation didn’t start in 2016, it has been made by decades of people making the same choice you insist everyone make.

Vote blue or else!

So we should vote for the democrats that aren’t establishment democrats, the ones that will actually fix the situation.

No, it’s because of the two party system.

You are the problem, you are the person who refuses to do anything different.

I am saying we need to do something different. Have you not been paying attention?

The GOP also continues to get elected because of the two party system. There’s a much better shot at taking over the Democratic party to force reform through than will ever happen with the GOP. I want to vote third party, but I’m not going to pretend that it’s safe to do so yet at the level of president.

It is much more likely that a 3rd party will win, than the democratic party being reformed. Change my mind.

And you think 3rd parties solve all of our problems? It’d be even worse. They don’t have any serious political plan, if they did you’d see them investing heavily in local races and trying to get control of Congress before the presidency.

It’s just a grift to get your money and support. Oh they’ll criticize Democrats plenty for not being harsh on the rich or Republicans, and then they’ll go dine with right wing authoritarians and rich oligarchs who make our CEOs look like socialists.

The presidential race is the LAST place you should be making your stand. It’s like you want to skip all the early levels of the game (local and state elections) and jump straight to the final boss without realising you won’t win this game by doing that.

So I was right. You don’t actually want to win the game, you just want to take your ball and go home because your fee fees are hurt.

Way to be a loser.
