This is false

Every county in my state always votes red. Due to the way elections are held in this country, it does not matter how I vote. I could vote for Harris, on the tiny chance that enough others will as well, or I could vote 3rd party, and at least increase the percentage of voters doing that so that it doesnt seem as useless next time. Hell, I could vote for trump and there would still be no difference.

Don't alienate your allies if you want them to stay allies

The two-party system is perfect. George Washington and John Adams had it wrong when they claimed a two-party system would be an evil. No policies of third parties have ever been adopted by either of the two big parties. No political candidate would ever dare switch between and third party and that of one of the big two, sometimes multiple times over their career. Useless. Certainly the political spectrum is sufficiently represented as a two-dimensional line depicting left, center, and right? Issues such as monetary policy, interventionalist policies, border security, personal liberty, states' rights, federal powers, and debate of democracy vs. republic have already been solved and merits no further discussion. All 335 million Americans' ideologies fit perfectly into either of the two big parties' platform and always have. No other party besides Democratic and Republican have ever dominated US politics. Political parties are so paramount to the existence of America that the founding fathers went through great lengths to outline their implementation in the Constitution.

This violates rule one doesn't it? "Shaming people for voting"

[–] GreenKnight23 3 points 3 days ago (7 children)

oh boy...

  1. they aren't shaming you for voting
  2. they aren't shaming you for supporting a fascist piece of shit
  3. if you feel any shame at all for voting in support of a fascist piece of shit, you should take a day or two to reflect on why you feel shame and ponder on why that shame would exist if you truly believe that a fascist dictatorship is the solution we need.

however they are saying that if people do openly support a fascist dictatorship, that they will remember them and treat them like the fascist pieces of shit they are.

as my old man used to say, "it's not a threat, it's a promise."
