    I guess you missed the part where I said I’ve done exactly what you are suggesting for nearly 30 years now. I mean, what’s the definition of insanity, again?

    I’m not looking for a perfect, ideal candidate. I’m looking for a candidate that doesn’t continue to help the right shift the Overton window further in their direction. Especially in the case of corporate power and campaign finance. That’s it. Bill Clinton was why my first vote was cast was for Ralph Nader. George Bush, and everyone blaming him on people like me, was why I “fell in line” with the Democrats. I’m done playing their games until they’re done playing the Game you are referring to. Democrats have become complacent, feckless, and lazy. They need to learn how to earn a vote like mine again. Zohran understood this. Sorry, I’m voting for whomever I feel like from now on.

      Oh I didn’t miss anything. And my oh my that’s certainly a lovely paragraph of hot-button topics you got there! Straight out of the Far-Leftists Playbook that outraged so many into not voting against fascism.

        The Left is not the reason Kamala lost, the facts DO NOT SUPPORT this narrative. You are spreading misinformation because it is part of a story that riles you up and “feels” right to you, it is irresponsible.

        Back up your accusations or stop pushing this narrative.

              My proof? Ninety one million people didn’t vote in 2024, Lemmy was full of kids yelling at people to not vote. There was also roughly 3-4 million people rust toyed for 3rd party spoilers.

              It’s safe to say that had the spoiled brats not convinced people to would have voted for Kamila to not vote, and had voted against Trump like they said they hated so much, she’d have had potential to win.

              Not to mention that a wave of people influencing others to vote against fascism would have been a huge help instead of “wAaAaAaAaA! bOtH SiDeS!”

              Now I’m sure you have your little article that trump would have won regardless all queued up- but take note that I’m not talking about the bullshit they used to excuse away the assholes that chose not to stand in the way of a fascist.

              I’m talking about the momentum that would have made the difference in those that would have voted for the left but DIDN’T. Not the dickeads that would have voted for Trump.

              If you didn’t vote for Kamala, you chose fascism. And I’m not going to debate this any longer.
