      Neither of the choices you’d vote for are viable either, unless all you care about is war spending.

      I will be voting third party.

        Today on Lemmy, which is dumber?

        -Distilling an entire presidency to what happens in proxy wars (the RU one admittedly being an amazing deal for the US against a long term adversary).

        -Voting third party in '20/'24

          You chickenhawks say the same things about every war. I remember 2003 when Iraq was going to last six months and cost 30 billion. “Mission Accomplished”. Back then you told us it was a bargain because Saddam had uranium.

          Voting third party in '20/'24

          What’s dumb is seeing 40 years of conservative outcomes and the progression of fascism under a Democratic president and then telling us to do more of it.

            I don’t remember this, care to provide some justification? The way I remember it is that Americans were tricked into being afraid of Saddam and his WMD and it was sold as a preemptive move to a bunch of people still reeling after the 9/11 attacks.

            Russia is actually a major adversary, this is not secret. They are also acting like aggressive imperialists. I would be hesitant to get boots on the ground, but helping Ukraine defend itself is both a win for us, and the right thing to do.

            I don’t see how they’re really comparable.

              Holy shit I’ve argued with you a few times, this comment is actually something I can totally agree on.

        Which one are you voting for?

        I’d like to find a viable 3rd party candidate that can win the presidential election and disrupt the 2 party system we currently have.
