Comment on Should this be the year we finally try voting for other candidates?

Seeing that they have tried the same failed approach for decades, they’re not going to change. They’ll just bitch about the system as it is while refusing to acknowledge their participation in it

So then you admit that it’s a useless hypothetical, and your proposed strategy doesn’t actually accomplish anything except splitting the vote to let the far right win more?

  Splitting the vote is liberal fantasy based on the idea if 3rd parties didn’t exist or there were none to vote for we would vote for your candidates.
  
  Rest assured we would not. They either need to earn our vote or they can fuck off.

    Do you not even remember your own point?
    
    If Democrats would stop voting for what they thought was the lesser evil things wouldn’t keep getting worse
    
    That’s precisely splitting the vote.

    This only applies to Democrats voting for Democrats. Those that will accept anything as long as it’s their team doing it. Their ‘lesser evil’ bullshit has grown to a huge acceptable evil.
