  • I voted against both of the two major parties because both the Democrats and the Republicans fight against what I want. They both are pro-genocide, pro-corporation, pro-war, etc. While I don’t think they are the same, both parties are pretty evil.

    If the Republicans are a 2, the Democrats are a 3 at best. I’m looking for a 9 or a 10, and I’ll vote against both of the parties until one of them stop fighting against what I want, and start fighting for what I want.

    I chose to vote 3rd party, knowing that they wouldn’t win, because I’d rather my vote be a vote against the both of them, than an endorsement of either one.

    EDIT: I appreciate an honest question, trying to understand my point of view. These discussions tend to get a bit crazy, with a lot of baseless accusations and ad-hominem arguements. Thanks for taking it seriously!







  • No one here is rooting for genocide

    Literally the Democratic leadership is. They’re even doing more: they are funding it.

    It’s not good, but it’s better.

    I agree it’s better, but it’s still not good enough for me to vote for. I understand why people held their nose and voted for Harris, but I was unwilling to do the same. We have different standards. I’ve seen the Democrats continuously fight against the policies that I want, and so I chose ‘nah’ over them. So did a lot of other people, so maybe they should incorporate that into their strategy next time.

    if you want to actually mitigate this shit storm as best you can instead of letting idealogical purity fuck you over even more.

    I find this hilarious coming in support of a party who chose the ideological purity of genocide and money, instead of chosing a popular stance and winning the election.



  • Yeah, that is how it works. I don’t fight against genocide because I think I’m going to win, I fight against genocide because I think it’s evil. You may be OK with genocide, but I’m not.

    Additionally, genocide is just 1 out of ~50 other things that I’m against, that Harris stood for. Why should I vote for a candidate that’s proud to stand with the Cheneys? Or a candidate that wants to continue to be a “leathal fighting force”? Why should I vote for a candidate that thought bombing children was OK? Or a candidate that proudly stood behind a rapist?

    Yes, I proudly stand against genocide, and all of those other things. Maybe the real issue is that the Democrats shouldn’t run in favor of them.
