Someone: “I voted for what I belive in, which one of course should be able to do in a well functioning democracy”
Lemmy: “Nooooo you gotta vote for this one and only option, it’s the only way to protect our democracy (???)”
Guys the third party voters is not the problem, the two party system is. Come on. Voting third party or is a valid and important statement. Voting major party is legitimising an undemocratic system.
Riot against your government on the streets. That’s where you make the big difference - not in the voting booth.
I don’t get why people don’t understand this. With a Democrat in office, you can protest and push for change. It’s happened for plenty of past presidents. When an authoritarian is in office, people disappear when protesting. People forget Kamala Litterally said she would push for a ceasefire. LINK.
But no People thought Donald “Let Israel finish them off” Trump was somehow the same.
This is so true, especially since the Democatic party does the same things the GOP does, just a little more civil. The Biden admin sent bombs to Israel, persecuted striking workers and refused to codify Roe vs. Wade (amongst a ton of other things). Both parties are bought by billionaires and act in their interest, I don’t get how anyone could justify voting dems over third party

Fine, then riot in the streets with a Democrat in office instead of the racist bigoted nation destoyer.
