Political Memes

I’ve historically voted 3rd party. This past election i voted for a party that did not represent me or the policies I support, all out of fear of orange man. What did compromising my values do? Fuck all.

And? Voting 3rd party would have done fuck all for you too. And you wouldn't have been helping to potentially keep an anti-democratic felon rapist from the Oval Office.

Voting 3rd party in America sends the message to the losing party that if they wanted that vote there is policy they need to adopt.

It also helps anti-democratic felon rapists become the most influential person on the planet. People who adulted up and voted Dem instead of 3rd party in 2020 did actually prevent that person from taking office. It isn't a full-proof plan. But it works sometimes.

because they ran THAT MUCH of a terrible campaign

Maybe so. But you aren't accounting for the MASS misinformation being peddled to Americans. We just elected an anti-democratic felon rapist. That isn't normal. That happened because the internet is frying a ton of American's brains and they aren't acting rationally because they're so misinformed. The guy about to be sworn in as our leader went off on a tangent about immigrants EATING OUR FUCKING PETS and Americans absorbed that shit hook, line, and sinker. As far as I'm concerned stupid Americans are more to blame than a shoddy campaign. Especially since the other guy's campaign consisted of TALKING ABOUT IMMIGRANTS EATING OUR PETS and mentioning that he had CONCEPTS OF A PLAN.

People get pissy when you criticize dems

Personally, I get pissy because I actually bothered looking up both party's voting history and criminal conviction history and I know voting Dem is a WAY, WAY better option for average Americans than voting Republican or 3rd party at this point in American history.

maybe a 3rd party can steal enough support

Lol. This isn't a video game. There's no cheat code. No 3rd party has done the work to get representatives elected locally across the nation, slowly building a coalition to eventually get enough clout to put up a presidential candidate that stands a chance. That involves years, decades, of back breaking work. Anyone that tries voting for a 3rd party candidate in a presidential election now, or anytime in the near future, is living in a deep, deep fantasy simulation.

All that hinges on trump not going full dictator. At this point I don’t have confidence enough Americans would actually stand up to stop him.

Guess those 3rd party voters should have put their fantasies aside and voted intelligently. Too late now.
