    The protest vote is a vote of capitulation for the duopoly. A 3rd party vote cast out of conviction is a vote for democracy. Yours is based on fear and irrationality.

    Dems are only mouth pieces for progress, all talk, zero action. Rince and repeat every election cycle.

      I am sure your moral high ground will comfort you when Trump opens concentration camps in our own country for the undocumented (among others), and we literally live in A Handmaiden’s Tale. When the “dictator on day one” throws away our constitution and strips our lives away, remember how stoic you are! It could be the last election your vote is even counted for the Green Party, so I hope you are proud of your convictions!

      The Dems aren’t perfect, but they aren’t comprised by Russia like both The Green Party and the GOP. Yes, I’m scared. I saw what happened last time. Why the hell aren’t you?

        Like a rabbit in the open terrified of the wind. Everything you claimed is hyperbole

          Riiiiight. They’ll never overturn Roe, that’s got judicial standing. It’s downright hysterical to suggest such a thing could happen. It’s not like we could live in an America with a 3rd of American women under an abortion ban right, and a national ban looming? RIGHT? And it would be unthinkable to intentionally and irrevocably separate families right? Not for any procedural necessity, but just to brutally traumatize anyone who tries to make a crossing. That’d be a pretty fucked up inhuman policy RIGHT?

            The dnc knew it did not have judicial standing, that’s why they had promised for decades to codify Roe into law. Democrats have this bizarre worldview that everything Republicans do is inhuman, but when their own party adopt those same policies they’re busy at brunch. Or even better yet, when it’s Democrats that build the systems that Republicans take advantage of you turn a blind eye and only point fingers at Republicans, the way that they screamed about kids in cages under Trump while ignoring who built the motherfucking cages and is still locking kids up in cages. while adopting more draconian immigration laws than Republicans have in decades.

              Yeah. None of what you said it true tho? For the border I’d recommend this book Everyone who is gone is here by Jonathan Blitzer. And they can’t codify without the votes? Remember Obamacare? To agree with you I’d have to only become political aware a couple years ago and never read more than headlines. Pick up a book, watch some cspan, try again.

                It’s 100% true. And when Democrat voters were told that they did not have the votes, where were their calls to have those voting pro life primaried? Their typical answer has always been 'We’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas"

                  Books. Cspan. Try again. I can’t spoon feed you 30 years worth of politics in a lemmy post. Nothing you posted was in the parking lot of the stadium of truth.
