If you voted third party, you voted for Trump.
That's not how any of this works. In many states in the USA, your votes for President are for entertainment purposes only; with our electoral college you can actually lose the popular vote and still win the election.
More and more people are leaving the major parties every day, voters are 40% independent with Ds and Rs at 30% each. I predict that the major parties will continue to lose voters every year, and anti-incumbent voters will increase.
That's exactly how it works in a 2 party system. Voting for a 3rd party is throwing away your vote, no matter how you try to spin it.
It really is just north korea wit a amrmani belt. But it had to go in debt to buy the belt.
Eh, if your state goes 70% R and has for the last 50 years, there's not much you can do. Unless there's a big movement, 100% of those votes go to R. Getting better local representation might be more worth it.
It's a really shitty system that promotes really shitty incentives, and has even shittier outcomes. I generally advocate for strategic voting, but in some places your vote literally doesn't matter.
"At least i didn't vote for a fascist who would date his daughter. I voted for the other fascist who supports genocide."
America is a two party system, dumbass. There was no other choice beyond Harris. Get that through your thick skull.
I don't like her either, but Trump is even worse. And you fucking retards handed him the keys to the white house by throwing away your vote.
Don't know why you're assuming I'm American, ableist bigot. But even if I was, I still wouldn't vote for a genocide, even if one of the pro-genocide candidates promised to respect my pronouns.
If every single third party vote was given to Harris she still would have lost.
Harris was such a historically bad candidate that she literally lost to the couch.
You caught me, everything Kamala did to lose the election was my fault. Campaigning with Cheney? Talking about how much I love my glock while you all fear for your kids lives in grade schools? talking about wanting to always have the strongest military in the world? thats on me. I made her do that. You should have seen how strenuously she objected, but I made it happen-- such is my power.
Ignoring the working class, and supporting genocide, again, me. Losing the party base across nearly every single voting demographic? me again. I told her to say she wouldnt change a thing from Bidens policies, when they were polling in the 30s. She wanted to be progressive and give the people what they wanted, but I would not let her do that.
I made Biden stay in the race so late too-- he didnt even want to run again and I made him pretend to be too ego driven to let go. Heck, I made Biden support a far right wing theocratic genocide of innocents. I snuck that in with some other papers and he signed it.
And why am I so evil? You were correct when you guessed that its because I have no ethics and am secretly a trump supporter. Its time I admit it. Also I am racist and misogynist. Also an antisemite. And I am out to get lgbtq.
Feels good to get that off my chest. So we can finally put this sad dead horse to bed now right? No more whining?
