I never stopped talking about electoral reform. I refuse to stop talking about it no matter what day it is.

You know who will stop talking about the flaws of the voting system after the election? The democratic party and it's members. Like clockwork each election. They show their hand and then throw away the cards and expect you to forget they pulled them out and slammed them on the table in the most public way possible.

If you're complaining about third parties now, you have an obligation to work towards fixing this issue after the election. You may forget, but I won't. I will beat this drum till the blissful end to my wage slavery existence on this dirty planet.

Then in the next election, there will be much concern over third parties yet again. This meme will be reposted without one ounce of self awareness or shame. Looking forward to that day my blue conservative "allies".

Bernie is the political equivalent of Rambo: Alone, behind enemy lines, with no support.

He had to do guerrilla politics most of his career and has a lot to teach.

That's how cycles work, lol.

We're always in every cycle.

It's in the root of the word cycle. Greek word kuklos and the Latin word cyclus, both of which mean "circle".

I love me a good piece of pedantry. Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

A third party has literally no chance to win in our system, and nobody gives a single fuck about the miniscule amount of votes they do get - you're not moving any metrics, or sending any messages, or taking any stands. All you're doing is helping the worse option win.

So, if you truly hate Palestinians, then by all means vote Stein. If you want to see Ukraine taken over, then please vote Stein. If you want to see our country start murdering every version of queer people, then you really should vote Stein. That's all you're going to get for it.

Whether you like to see the truth or not, a vote for a third party is still a vote for genocide.
