      Yes, I’m aware that voting for the only shot we had was FoR GeNoCidE. But that’s a fucking idiotic framing of the choice that was actually at hand, and even if it weren’t, no one could foresee the future to know that they had the luxury of pissing their vote away.

        How funny that “no one could forsee the future to know” that she was running a losing campaign while simultaneously claiming to forsee that she was “the only shot we had” despite other candidates being in the race. Let’s just ignore the fact that this played out exactly the same as the 2016 election and claim there was “no way to know” that alienating the people you expect to vote for you was a bad idea.

          Yes, third party candidates ever have a chance. What an intelligent and societally-aware way to think.

            So you claim your position is the “intelligent and societally-aware” position to have despite the fact that this position is what has brought us to the very point we’re at as a nation currently, and you want to call other people morons?

              Yes, if only I had voted for Jill Stein, Gaza and everything else would somehow be unfucked. Please piss off.

                You’re right, continuing the same behavior that has brought us to this point, where you think you have the moral high ground while flippantly mocking people opposing genocide and defend politicians in support of it, is surely the path out of this mess.

                Democrats just need to get more power and once they have all the power then they’ll start doing good things. Since Republicans have power now, it’s perfectly acceptable for Democrats to adopt Republican policies and rhetoric and you can’t question them about it because it’s all the Republican’s fault, and if it’s not the Republicans fault than its the fault of third party voters! And if its not third party voters fault then it’s the fault of leftists for not falling in line! You see, Democrats really want to improve the country it’s just everyone else’s fault that they never do! If you try to bring up the numerous past examples of this being complete bullshit then you’re obviously a Russian troll and you hate America!

                God I can’t imagine what’s it like going through life being this indoctrinated, but at least you can find a community of like-minded individuals in the MAGA movement.
