Your iDiOtIc CaSe is no substitution for a valid counteaargument. Neither of your parties represent the interest of the people. Get a third one.
Americans have two ethical choices in the upcoming election:
- Change the system before election day and vote 3rd party
- Vote for Biden
That's it. Voting 3rd party without changing the system prior is not an ethical choice, for it enables fascism.
What's important to note is that people have been doing it according to your politics for decades, and it has produced the situation we're in right now.
It kind of seems like the lesser of two evils and pied piper strategies are actually closer to being the tracks in this metaphor, not the people who refuse to vote for Fascist Lite.
Yeah, this is what always bothers me about the vote shaming crowd. Yes, we need to reelect Biden because Trump is a literal fascist who will end American democracy, but we need to have a hard look at how we got into this position, starting with Democrats embrace of neo-liberalism in the 90s and ending with the fact that the party is running a candidate that 67% of their own voters didn't want on the ticket. And no, Biden and Trump are not the same, but George W. and Obama were pretty damn similar, as well as Clinton, Regan, and the first Bush. If the Democrats don't start offering and actual progressive alternative to the right, we're just going to keep doing this until a more competent fascist finally wins.
Actual progressive alternatives to the right don't have a majority in the US, sadly.
🙄 This reeks of chronic online-ness.
You reek of ignorance. Right wing parties are gaining support pretty much all over the place.
You mean left wing, right?
