I understand where you’re coming from being upset at third party voters but misrepresenting how elections work isn’t going to convince anyone to vote for the Dems. It’s on the party to find a candidate who can get the most votes and blaming people for not voting for them or even lying and saying they’re actually voting for the opposition does nothing but push potential voters away. You should be angrier at the party for not doing its job, not projecting that frustration on other voters

I swear people are sheep for falling for this. I’m doing third party or a write in if these are the options I’m given.

a vote for a third party is a waste of a vote. atp don't even vote, third party stands no chance because of the electoral college. you will just be voting for vance, the same way third party voters voted for trump in 2024

Votes for who only care about less than half of the country are wasted votes. I don’t want a candidates who put their interests of their colleagues over the American people.

so you can't complain when vance wins and this shit gets worse. if you wait for a perfect candidate, you'll be waiting forever while the state of america gets worse. you'd prefer risking a nazi win over a spineless democrat we can bully into agreeing with us.

i'm doing both, if they want to brag about how slow they are that's on them. i'm tired of getting told to play nice with these people when they always do this. it's always "vote third party" which never works instead of "pick the one that ISN'T a nazi". idc anymore, their third party vote helped lead to my grandpa being deported, i'm not coddling them anymore

the reason maga keeps winning isn't JUST because dems can't give a good candidate (which is a factor but not the main cause). it's because everyone else can't agree and you get morons like #1 who stay seperate because Jesus himself hasn't blessed the candidate that isn't hitler. anyone with a brain can understand that what they're doing isn't helpful, it's stupid and exactly why we're in this situation.

Even if all the third party voters in America voted for Kamala in 2024, she STILL wouldn’t have won. Most third party voters are not bragging, they’re just saying they are not going to vote for someone who they don’t agree with. Of course if they vote for a third party candidate they don’t actually support just to “stick it to the Dems” that’s a major problem, but at the end of the day we can’t force anybody to vote for anything. I am so sorry your grandpa got deported.

MAGA keeps winning because they have a strong base of brainwashed voters who support hate, racism and facism. The way to fight that is not by demonizing potential voters but instead meeting them where they’re at and making compromises. The Dems refuse to do that. They refuse to be transparent and won’t even release their findings on why they lost the 2024 election. you can’t blame people for not trusting that

what the fuck ever, y'all love to repeat to ease your guilty conscience over the fact you helped do this. it isn't crazy to be like "i'm going to vote for anyone else in the primaries but if it comes down to vance and newsome i'll choose the one that isn't hitler". but that's not what they're doing. i'm not being nice to idiots

none of you people know anything about harm reduction and that's why we keep being stuck with trump. YES, you can want more. but if it comes down to it you should probably vote for, get this, the party that isn't campaigning on fascism. hard pill to swallow, ik

Wow. Just wow. I understand why you’re angry but this level of hate towards people who didn’t even vote for the GOP is tragic. Wishing harm on me is no better than the fascists currently in power. And you wonder why people are turning away from the Dems. I say this as someone who voted for Kamala too 💀

There are so many more people who don’t vote at all because the candidates suck than people who vote for third parties. Just voting for the “lesser of the two evils” allows bad behavior to continue. We need to bring back accountability.
