~~I’m not American~~
I’ve seen this meme shared going back to “3 months before the election”. When people have been protesting for way longer than that, and not only have they been ignored, but silenced, I’m not surprised when they turn to more drastic measures to be heard.
EDIT: well, this makes sense, it was you who posted the previous memes lol
They haven’t built any third party to anything meaningful yet.
Sure "they" have! The Russians have built a third party that manufactures fake outrage and sows chaos that attempts to drive a wedge between left and far left opinions.
The fun won't end after the election, and (won't be) until Putin and his FSB are buried under the Kremlin.
I don’t think people are bringing up third parties because they will get elected, I think they’re bringing up third parties to show that these are not guaranteed, but still potentially obtainable votes, that if you take their demands into account, you will get their votes.
EDIT: again, not American
Nooo they just dum dummies!
Surely they don't live in completely uncontested districts/states like fucking 84% of Americans.
No talk, no talk!
They just refuse to put the work in and parachute into the race in the last couple months and siphon a bunch of gullible votes off the people with a chance.
I'm curious under what definition you think Dr. Cornel West has refused to put the work in?
How many people is he running down ballot?
It's literally a completely new party that just secured ballot access this year.
And he wasn’t able to get anyone to run down ballot for him?
That isn’t a party, it’s stroking his ego.
Ah yes it didn't emerge fully formed from Zues's forhead therefore it's pointless.
This was my point and you just proved it for me, thanks.
