[Sorry folks. When I submitted the article I had both the URL and added an image file as thumbnail for the article. Somehow the image file replaced the article. Here's the article. Adding a link in here too].

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.

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
