    I still point out once a week. Republicans and Democrats are the problem. Entirely ditch both parties and grab a third party that’s actually terrified of happening to them, what just happened to the Republican’s and Democrats and taking our country back from the damn thieves.

    But I guess with eye sight like that, you would have trouble seeing what’s right in front of you.

    Can we stop letting the same 4 people make these posts to just get the dopamine kicks from starting the arguments over all over again?

    It’s pointless grandstanding to get a fight started and that is basically it and it’s the same people every time. People should just be blocking these accounts cause if anyone seems like permanently online trolls or shills it’s these accounts making these exact posts like clockwork every single week.

    It’s lazy and the mods seem to let it happen cause they get a kick from the banning they can dish out.

    “Hey, let’s vote for a candidate who literally cannot win from a party that hasn’t done the necessary work to become nationally viable because I don’t want to be part of the two party problem even though if we do so it will guarantee that a felon rapist who incited an insurrection, stripped women of a human right, and illegally attempted to overturn an election will win.” - Dipshit 3rd Party Voters

    Just as stupid as Trump supporters, as far as I’m concerned.

    Well, they got what we told them they’d be getting. Why aren’t they celebrating?

    The election is over, did you expect them to keep telling you to vote 3rd party when there is no election to vote for them in? Perhaps you noticed that all the “Vote Harris” commercials stopped too?

    How wish I could post my electoral reform copy pasta in every thread I commented in. I’ve been muted and banned in other instances for doing so. Haven’t really pushed my luck in .ml because I want to keep posting garbage content I find.

    Perhaps I will be allowed one cheesy copypasta here as a treat?

    Well I voted for a 3rd party candidate in the UK election, how slow American elections are is rather amusing to me. You were campaigning this time last year and the new government hasn’t yet taken power. Meanwhile ours was all done in a few weeks.

    The best solution to the two parties excluding the left isn’t a third party, it’s for the left to register as Republicans and conduct a hostile takeover of the GOP in the primaries.

    This can easily succeed in blue states/cities to start out.

      Yeah, I wish they’d promote the Green party here.
      But with our voting system they have to promote the nazis directly.
      Which they are unfortunately doing very successfully, along with fucking Elon Musk.

      America, could you please keep your billionaires to yourself? They’re annoying as hell.

            Yeah but he lied on his form. So. It’s just a matter of bringing this to the attention of the authori . . .

            Okay look, there’s a plan B that’s had one big success already.

          I don’t subscribe to the notion that where you were born defines what nationality you are.
          He speaks English, not Afrikaans. He lives in the US, has US citizenship, made his billions in the US, owns several US companies, and the president elect of the US lovingly caresses his dick every night with his wet, pouting lips.

            I don’t subscribe to the notion that nationality is a real thing, period. I could just as easily argue that none of that matters and he’s “South African” because that’s where he was born and I subscribe to the notion that nationality is something that never goes away.

            You’re the one insisting that he’s American for some reason. Maybe don’t make a big deal about things that are fake, don’t matter, and you have idiosyncratic options about. It doesn’t matter, which was the entire point of my comment.
