      Joining the Face Eating Leopard party is a fucking stupid alternative. Pushing for rank choice voting in their local and state elections to normalize 3rd parties is what can change things.

        Not supporting the face nibbling party does not mean you’re joining the face eating party, it means the face nibbling party needs to make real steps to stop nibbling on faces to get your vote back.

          The leopards eat everyone’s face if they win. And in a first past the pole election, sitting out helps them eat all our faces.

          This really depends on what you mean by “not supporting” - are you speaking out against them, primarying them, advocating for better policies? I’m with you 100%… the issue is the camp that decides to protest vote Trump or not participate in the general election.

          Our voting system is broken and in the general election your choices are Trump or Biden.

            YOUR choices are Trump or Biden. I refuse to participate in a system that gives me no representation in government.

            The refusal to primary came from the DNC, and our calls to challenge them or push for better policies go unheard
