i can't even guess as to why they went quiet. not one guess at all. we will never know.
edit: well they're not quiet now once they get called out
Didn't really think there was that many of them on here. I feel like every time I see memes like this on here it's just people preaching to the choir.
well they’re not quiet now once they get called out
If you call people out, they're gonna respond, lol. (edited this part to not be accidentally included as part of the quote above)
tl;dr is we need more options than Democrats and Republicans, and voting third party should be only part of the solution to educate and mobilize the working class.
I think it is a false narrative that "voting blue no matter who" is the sole thing preventing the USA from succumbing to fascism. The reason government power see-saws between Democrats and Republicans is because it is hard for either party to maintain any legitimacy of being helpful to working class people when the only people both sides are helping are the wealthy. People get fed up with Democrats doing nothing for them and vote Republican. They then get fed up with Republicans doing nothing and vote Democrat.
Are the Democrats current policies better than Republicans in some areas? Sure. But the Democrats have also continued some of the worst Republican policies, and the ones they have better stances on are small and in my opinion offer no long term solutions to help the working class. So one proposed solution is to use our limited power of voting for another party that aligns more with working class needs. That should also only be one part of a larger scheme to educate and mobilize the working class.
You're right about third parties, and everybody needs to factor this in, or America will never get them:

And the best chance at getting that getting democrats enough power and then cracking their skulls until they do it.
Kamala "Frack the Planet" Harris was not going to save the planet.
I'm comfortable with my decision to not vote for genocide, and I will continue to not vote for warhawks.
