Wishful thinking, but, with Democrats showing their cards by helping Republicans fund ICE who’ve been terrorizing Minnesota and murdering Americans. I can’t really say for certain that I’m going to be voting for them anymore in the future, their track record of holding corrupt people accountable has been atrocious. Stern wording is not what we want, we want to see impeachments, we want to see stubborness, we want to see actions that side with the people than self-interests.

Yet, that’s what we’re really seeing, is self-interests being practiced. No Democrat is going to own their mistakes either, just like Republicans won’t.

If there’s any other candidate in America who we can vote for, who? Because I’m tired of voting for Democrat who’ve proven that they only govern if it means making themselves look good than helping the public get in shape.

    During the primaries, yes. By all means yes, use the primaries to get as good a set of Democratic candidates as possible.

    In the actual ballot box? Hell no. Hold your nose and vote lesser evil. Those are literally your only options at that point. The game theory explaining why this is the case is quite simple, I recommend taking a look a this video. It’s only 6 minutes long and will tell you why there’s a two-party system in the US and why there will always be a two-party system.

    If you vote for anything other than Democrat in the actual election then you’re throwing your vote away. Kang and Kodos are unfortunately correct, you have to pick one of those two or you’re throwing your vote away. Wishing it was otherwise is not going to change reality even if you wish really hard. Only changing the US away from a first-past-the-post voting system will do that, and you’re not going to get that done in 8 months.

    People will tell you otherwise. Those people are either liars, ignorant, or fools. I wish I could sugar-coat this, but this shit is too important for you guys right now. First put the fire out, then try to deal with the arsonist at large.

    You must get the Republicans out of power. Only the Democrats can do that in this upcoming election, as lame and uninspiring an option as that might be.

      Not just during the primaries, every election. If the winner of the primary election is not worth voting for you don’t vote for them because it’s your preferred party. That’s how you guys ended up with a senile pedo after Trump’s first term

        You may not believe it, but Trump didn’t actually win the 2020 election.
