    There are other parties. There was Jill Stein. If you could have voted, didn’t vote for Stein and aren’t actively out in the streets chucking bricks at ICE and trumpers, than I have no respect for you.

    You played the game and played to win. Exactly what both right wing parties, the Democrats and the Republicans, want you to do. You’re easily set up to blame your fellow people instead of a system that has made you a tool to their disposal. You’re a spineless husk that listens to a leader that supports bombing children on the other side of the world just because the other party is “more evil”.

    Stop voting for evil, vote for good. Because voting for the lesser evil will still end in evil.

      Stein barely got 100k more votes than Kennedy, who had dropped out of the race and endorsed trump.

      I understand your satire, but clearly you did not understand what “Playing to lose” meant.

          I see 862,049 people who went all in and bet their house while holding an 8 and a 2.

          There is a word for that kind of behavior…

            People who want change instead of more of the same wars, murder, anti-consumerism and billionaires. I agree, although it’s a little more than one word.

          I can jump off a building using a parachute in hopes it will open and generate enough drag to save me in time. A miracle, but it can happen.

          Or I can board the skydiving plane everyone is boarding and reduce the risk of above happening.

              I do want change. Unfortunate for you, I am not in the US. I am from the rest of the world that was affected by your selfish decisions and ‘moral high ground’ decisions. Thanks for voting for some 3rd party that wouldn’t have any realistic chance in today’s US of winning. Instead of, you know, helping the rest of the US push for Harris. Under Harris you had all the time in the world to get people in the millions if you wanted to vote for Jill or whoever else. You must have slept so well that night knowing you didn’t help everyone pushing to stop Trump with a lesser evil.

              But sure, preach to me how you want change by doing no realistic action contributing to it. You were on a sinking ship and you put a plaster over a breached hull. Congrats.

              Next time, if you want to take down any system, you must first partake in the system. Everyone has hopes & dreams of a 3rd party winning in the U.S. but it was very. Very fucking vital to give that idea up with Trump on the ballot.

                What made you think I’m from the US? I’m from the Netherlands, a country that, thank god, hadn’t americanized to the point of only having 2 parties to vote on.

                I’m active in my local politics, work in the social field, I’m spending most of my live making the world a better place. I’m active in resistance communities in support of immigrants, repressed students, and the current cost-of-living crisis here. What are you on about.

                You make so many assumptions it’s fucking hilarious.

                The way to fix the fasiscm is not by playing the fascism game. It’s by acting and showing that there’s a social alternative. And that alternative has fuck all to do with liberalist like the dems.

                Go seethe in your corner while the rest of us try to make the world a better place for everyone.
