The time to vote for third parties is not when there is someone like Trump around. It's too high stakes right now.

Oh wow, it keeps never being the time

[–] jabjoe@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe but now, really? You honesty think both are as bad??

Did you understand my point?

Trump isn't like past Republican leaders. He is an insurrectionist for starters. If he gets in, he'll be trying to stay in the rest of his life. Changing the constitution and corrupting elections utterly. Sorry Biden isn't ideal, but he's far better than Trump.

That in no way addresses the point of it will never be the right time.

But there are elections where it's less wrong. I'm pretty sure Trump's team will be spreading progressive disillusionment. It will be progressives more likely to disengage, or splinter. Those same progressives can't then complain they got Trump. And maybe they won't get another real vote again to seperate him from power.

Non-voters, and third party voters, will be just as responsible as Trump voters for a Trump victory. That is the realpolitik.

Non voting is primarily determined by wealth. Blaming she poor for being poor is what's not ok.

That's not by choice. When it's not by choice, there isn't blame.

What makes it a choice?

[–] jabjoe@feddit.uk 1 points 9 months ago

Making the decision not having it made for you.
