Comment on the two party system is just one big party
bearboiblake@pawb.social 9 hours agoIf you always vote blue no matter who then there is no long-term harm reduction, it actually increases overall harm to have that philosophy. If you aren’t willing to withhold your support and vote third party then there is no incentive for democrats to try and win your vote.

That’s not at all how voting works. You get a wet noodle or a psychopath. The correct way to deal with the democratic party is to make them more afraid of democrat voters than republican voters.
You don’t get that by “strategic voting” or whatever. You get that by doing what the french do and by creating chaos, legitimate fear and headaches for them until they give into demands.

You can check my other comments where I advocate for the same stuff that you do! My point is that voting for the Democrats does not genuinely provide long-term harm reduction, it’s a fallacy. I think there are a few options for resolving that problem, and I encourage everyone to take whatever options they feel best.

The democrats are the wet noodles. If you let the psychopaths work none of this stuff works because they’ll happilly kill everyone on earth.

The democrats are also psychopaths, dude, I don’t know what to tell you. Biden & Harris supported genocide, Nancy Pelosi stood and applauded Trump at the state of the union ranting about how we need to invade Iran. They’re not just wet noodles, they are actively fucking evil as fuck, you just aren’t seeing it because Trump is so obviously evil and the Democrats are subtle.
We don’t need to settle for these cryptofascists. We can effect REAL CHANGE if we just stop all the defeatism.
