    Stop chastising people for not compromising their morals by voting for a party they don’t fully agree with.

    Why would I not? They betrayed America by allowing a felon rapist conman who incited an insurrection and illegally attempted to overturn an election to become our leader, and now we’re seeing the negative effects of that. They also betrayed their own support for Palestinians by allowing the worst possible scenario to unfold for Palestinians. They’re fools causing real world damage. They deserve to be chastised.

    Voting 3rd party is not the same thing as not voting

    In a presidential election it is. I’ll say it loud so it can get through the 3 inch steel plating that comprises your skull.

    A THIRD PARTY CAN’T WIN THE PRESIDENCY!!!

    Do you know how I know that? Well, for starters, no 3rd party has put in the work to get A SINGLE MEMBER IN EITHER HOUSE OF CONGRESS. Oh, and also because the 3rd party candidate with the most votes in 2024 was magician Jill Stein, who magically appears right before every election, then magically disappears again afterward. And she only managed to get HALF OF A SINGLE PERCENT of the total votes cast. That makes her irrelevant, which makes the other 3rd party candidates less than irrelevant.

    Voting 3rd party in a presidential election is MASSIVELY STUPID. Especially in an election with high stakes. High stakes that have now led us to watching our federal government be deconstructed in front of our very eyes.

    So a big shoutout to the dipshits who didn’t vote and voted 3rd party for making this fucking dipshit timeline exist.

    Also the fuck won by a landslide anyways

    77m to 75m isn’t a landslide. And, even if it was, it isn’t an excuse for the people that fucked up by not voting or voting 3rd party. Those assholes did what they did not knowing if he would win or not based on their actions.

      everyone who failed to stop it, including those who voted with you, allowed it to happen. and you are allowing it to continue. step up and stop it.

        Sorry bud. But voting against it isn’t allowing it to happen. It’s the opposite. I’m not going to take responsibility for dumbfucks and racists that I vote against.

        It sounds like you’re asking me to violently oppose them. How about you violently oppose them? Lot easier said than done.

      Dude, shut the fuck up. Obviously people know that a 3rd party president will never make it to office; and that’s not the fucking point. Its about voicing your opinion; and to blame trump winning on the people who voted third party when it was clearly because the Democratic party fumbled and put forth a candidate that was not elected is incredibly disingenuous. This “your either with us or against us” bullshit is part of why the Democrats lost 2024

        Then what’s the point, dumbfuck?

        What’s the point of voting for someone that can’t win, and therefore, can’t accomplish anything?

        and to blame trump winning on the people who voted third party

        Why wouldn’t I? Voting 3rd party for president is STUPID AS FUCK, and all it accomplished was putting Trump, an anti-democratic felon rapist, closer to the Oval Office. Any dipshit gambling with our future to vote 3rd party in a presidential race deserves to be called what they are. A dumbfuck.

          Well you see, the point is to voice that you do not wish to support either party. There is no “gambling” here, because there is no shot in hell I’m going to vote between a Nazi and an unelected figurehead for a political party that promises they care about me or my people when in reality they just pretend they do just to get us to vote for them.

          Positively fucking crazy how I’m evil for not voting for (effectively) the same administration that allowed Texas to put razor wire in a river that is firmly Mexican territory. Positively fucking crazy that I didn’t want to vote for that, my fucking bad.

          I’m sorry for not disregarding my morals so you can feel better about yourself for helping to elect some shitstain who will preach acceptance and tolerance while removing Palestine from the map; I’m sorry for not wanting to vote for someone who will do fucking nothing to change the broken system that got us here in the first place.

          The point of voting third party is to voice your discontent with the system. I’m sorry if me refusing to say “yeah I don’t like Nazis” loud enough by voting for someone I don’t agree with hurts YOUR chances of looking good by “helping get the good guy into office” you virtue signalling prick

          Go fuck yourself.

      God forbid any candidate for president ever take any responsibility at all for their own loss. Its not like they made a single decision leading to that loss, right.

      This is ancient history now bud, and history wont be kind to your ilk. Beyond that, your shtick is so tired and boring.

        You mean reasonable people that voted against this stupid fucking timeline?

        Not exactly sure what you’re implying. It kind of sounds like you’re just whining into the void.
