People who focus on just one sole issue and ignore the full consequences and the reality of the say they do have deserve about as much democracy as MAGA. But don't worry, you no longer will have any say at all.

I don't think there are enough communists to sway the election. It's a tiny tiny minority.

They are not thinking straight if they think they're making a difference though. You'd need a new centrist party (or preferably 2 new centrist parties) to break the 2-party system in USA.

The important thing is to be more pissed at the Democrats for not being good enough than you you are at the Republicans for being evil. There is nothing worse than a western liberal, not even the pro-trans-murder party

This sentiment has never made sense because libertarians steal more votes from replublicans than greens do from dems.

I feel like the reason there's been a resurgance of posts rehashing this has to do with Zohran Mamdani winning a primary in the largest city in the United States. While being openly pro-palestinian AND using the Socialist word positively to boot.

If Harris had won it is highly plausible she would have endorsed Cuomo leading to Zohran's loss.

Mamdani lends credibility to some of those 3rd party/non-voting/protest voters' strategy.

I think this causes some... feelings.

Mamdani is not third part though, because he won the primary. So he's the candidate from one of the two big parties.

Not really. New York's mayoral election has ranked choice voting so it's a different situation. Also, Cuomo is the 3rd party candidate at this stage - he's running as an independant.

If Cuomo voters snake the election from Mamdani I hope Cuomo has his rapey fingers crushed in a subway.

We would also not have immigrants in concentration camps. So you know, it's a trade off.

Y'all are never making it out of the shit you're in if this is how you're thinking. Neither the republicans nor the democrats represent the interests of the working class. You're just pissed now that the fascism your country has been spreading across the world for decades both under the democrats and under the republicans is coming home to hatch now.
