    My issue with the republican party is not their choice of party color, but their policies. Therefore I have exactly the same issues with the democratic party. Further entrenching it is the worst thing I could do. Especially when the democratic party is also helping the republican party.

    Voting unconditionally for any party is high up on the list of “worst political moves” as well, so I’m definitely not going to do that.

      no one will vote for the extreme leftist parties. but if we vote for democrats who are in reality moderates, we can at least keep the worst of the rapists, pedophiles, nazis, and Israeli puppets out of government. then we can work on getting rid of democrats.

      Republicans (red) are a united party while leftist groups are split between democrats (blue) and true leftists (green). this gives power to Republicans.

      If you are too blind to see that… your vote for a party that cannot win in the short term… is just really a vote for nazis, pedophiles, rapists, and genocide lovers.

        Okay, I decided to give you another chance and came back to read the rest

        but if we vote for democrats who are in reality moderates

        wow, you’re the meme. I am afraid of getting an aneurysm from reading the rest of your fascist doublethink “genocide is moderate we have to vote for the democrats so we can get rid of the extreme republicans because they’re doing genocide” line of argument.

        Republicans (red) are a united party while leftist groups are split between democrats (blue) and true leftists (green). this gives power to Republicans.

        Well, again, (you really seem to struggle with reading what I write, I have to repeat myself quite a lot. Are you okay? Do you have a trusted adult or some sort of DNC botfarm handler you can talk to?), my issue with the republicans is not that they are republican it is their policies, which are similar to the democrats, so one party or the other in power is the same to me. The less power I can give them the better, so I won’t vote for either.

        your vote for a party that cannot win in the short term… is just really a vote for nazis, pedophiles, rapists, and genocide lovers.

        By your logic a vote for the dems is a vote for the republicans. My vote is apparently what makes the difference between the democrats winning or losing. I will not vote for them. With you knowing that, you voting for democrats is just another vote for republicans, since the democrats won’t win.

        Furthermore you seem to be stuck in a weird limbo, oscillating between short and long term thinking - depending on what most benefits your rhetorical position. Voting third party is bad because they won’t win in the short term. We have to vote for democrats, even though that means accepting genocidal fascism in the short torm, due to some undefined long term goal.

        If I have to accept the unacceptable (genocide) in the short term anyway, I might as well go for an actually cogent long-term plan that hasn’t been shown to fail - which “vote for the democrats and push them left” and “vote for the democrats AND THEN organize” have been shown to do. Following your strategy we’ve come to a place where, according to you, not committing a genocide is seen as an “extreme leftist position”. Seems like a pretty shit strategy.

        I’m going to invest my resources (and my votes) with an actually principled leftist party and use elections as a means of building momentum, while understanding the electoral system is inherently flawed.

        Blah blah blah you think “dont commit genocide” is an extreme leftist position, so I won’t waste my time reading the rest of your wordsalad

          in America it is an extremely leftist position in politics.

          but I guess you are on ostrich and can’t see that as your head is buried in the sand.

          A split vote that doesn’t prevent Republikkkans from winning is a vote of rape, nazis, pedophiles, and genocidal filth.

          but I wouldn’t expect a moron to understand that. people like you are why nazis walk free in this shithole.

            It actually isn’t. Not committing genocide is a majority position. Similar to things like not having concentration camps, universal healthcare, not having mass surveillance and so on. These policies are all massively popular. Popularity does not affect likelyhood of something passing into law in the united states, which you would know if you pulled your head out of your ass and investigated the things you claim to care about.

            A split vote that doesn’t prevent Republikkkans from winning is a vote of rape, nazis, pedophiles, and genocidal filth.

            So, again, my issue with rape, nazis, pedophiles and genocidal filth is not that they are republicans, it is what they are doing. So I also won’t vote for democrats. (You are the meme by the way)

            You are literally advocating for literally voting for literal rape, nazis, pedophiles, and genocidal filth.

        “exterminating entire races is actually moderate”

        your vote for a party that cannot win in the short term… is just really a vote for nazis, pedophiles, rapists, and genocide lovers.

        Kamala couldn’t win in the short term, so if you voted for her, you voted for nazis, pedophiles, rapists, and genocide lovers.

        Though it’s fucking stupid to say that not voting for nazis, pedophiles, rapists, and genocide lovers is actually voting for them, but literally voting for them in the form of democrats isn’t.
