So let me guess. The solution is to vote for a 3rd party that has absolutely no presence in our federal government at all, hoping that magically one of their reps can become president and save the country, despite having absolutely no support within the federal government, at all? And we'll just all agree to pretend like they won't become susceptible to corporate interests as well so they can actually accrue enough money to start winning elections.
Ok, so enough of that stupid bullshit. Let's hop on back to reality.
In reality, we have to vote Democrat for the time being because WE JUST FOUND OUT WHAT FUCKING HAPPENS IF WE DON'T. Meanwhile, we hope that a 3rd party can get off its fucking ass and start winning local/state elections so they can start getting MORE THAN ZERO representatives in the House and Senate, so that someday they can actually have a real shot at running a candidate for president.
This meme is grade school level dogshit. It only serves to split the vote more on 3rd party candidates that can't win and ensure Republican control of our government for even longer. We don't live in fantasy land. 3rd parties can't recite magical incantations and gain control of our federal government. There's a really fucking long process for a road to the presidency for a 3rd party, and in the meantime, we fucking vote Democrat because HAVE WE FUCKING LEARNED NOTHING?
No, you just found out what happens when your only choices are either nazis or capitalistic corrupt "let's debate nazis" centrists
And what's your plan to make it so those aren't our only options? Split the vote on a third party? Give up? Hope we can build a revolution while ICE are disappearing us? Your solutions suck.
Effing go on strikes, organise, march on the streets for god sakes voting isn't the start and end of political actions
"Hope we can build a revolution while ICE are disappearing us?"
YOUR EFFING SOLUTION IS "Wait 4 years and well'll vote for corrupt dipshit n°2" FFS
