two of our 46 presidents have been from so-called third parties.
this "analysis" is garbage
The reason we're in this mess is because of political tribalism. If we actually want different candidates, we gotta vote for them.
Cool, do that in the next primary, but for now let's pick one of the real options on the table.
I'm doing it in these primaries. Why would I take a primary off?
Well, that's good. Unfortunately lots of people don't vote in the primary, and then complain about their options in the general election.
Not true.
But even if it were, then the system is fucked and it deserves to burn.
This is ridiculous. If you can’t have it exactly your way then just elect a litteral authoritarian dictator and cause the end of the country? Ok dude I guess you do you
You sound like you dont like democracy.
Democracy is your way or burn it down?
No. You don’t like democracy - you’re helping to elect a literal dictator!
No I'm voting for who Id like to vote for.
That's how democracy works.
Sorry you're not enjoying democracy.
We have a two party system. You have two realistic choices. You can vote for Mickey Mouse if you want - he won’t become president.
Sorry you don’t understand how it works.
lol, no you're still not getting it.
In democracy, citizens voice opinions, even if they differ. Disagreement is expected and accepted. However, your frustration suggests discomfort with this democratic aspect. If you need clarification, all hope may be lost.
i had 4 candidates on my last presidential ballot. i expect the same or more this time around.
