          Hard dems sure, but the rest of us that want a true third party that doesn’t have these stupid caveats are more than willing to see a 3rd option come to light and support it.

            How are you not a hard Dem? You literally engage in genocide apologia to defend them. You also viciously tear into anyone who opposes the Democrats, so it’s pretty rich to say you support a third party

              I fucking hate that I have to vote for democrats. And yeah I’ve been laying into people today because they are taking a brainless approach to the situation.

              I had no good options on my ballot!

              Not voting is leaving things to chance, so what can I do but try to vote for the lesser evil when I have no good option? Vote for the lesser evil and try to get a good option on the next ballot when in between elections.

                Not so much that you won’t engage in all manner of apologia and genocide denialism to support them

                And yeah I’ve been laying into people today because they are taking a brainless approach to the situation.

                Really sounds like you don’t actually want people supporting third parties.

                so what can I do but try to vote for the lesser evil when I have no good option?

                Actually being honest about the evil of the Democrats even if you ultimately vote for them. The fact that basically every “lesser evil” voter I’ve encountered has ended up outright defending the Democrats had convinced me that people are not actually psychologically capable of voting lesser evil without trying to white wash the evil they support.

                And now that the election is over you should be condemning Biden and Harris as the monsters they are

                Also if you’re not in a swing state you should be voting third party.

                  I am honest about them being a shit option! I’ve said over and over and over that democrats are a shit option. I am also being accurate by saying they are not as bad as republicans. Just look at the state of shit right now and tell me that we’d have alligator alcatraz and tariffs out the ass under kamala. If you can’t admit that, then there is nothing to talk about further. I’ve never said she was a good option, only that she was a better option than trump.

                    No. You aren’t. You’ve gone so far as to engage in genocide denial to defend them.

                    Just look at the state of shit right now and tell me that we’d have alligator alcatraz and tariffs out the ass under kamala.

                    You would have mass genocide. Whining about tarrifs in the context of a modern day Holocaust is vile.

                    If you can’t admit that, then there is nothing to talk about further.

                    I’m not going to tolerate genocide denial just because you say you’ll take your ball and leave if I don’t.
