Ross Perot
Ah yes, the billionaire. Electing a billionaire businessman is just what the US needs, right?
Comment on Are Americans Actually Idiots?
Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoIdk man Ross Perot almost won back in the 90s if the cancer thing hadn’t happened he might have actually done it and then I truly believe once it happened it would have continued to happen.
But instead yeah we should keep the system we have bow democrats and republicans have been so good to us wouldn’t you agree?
You’re like the guy that tells people not to vote for the union.

I never said that.
I said, that he almost won and if he had I truly believe that others would have too (meaning third party runners)
I never even said I supported him or any variation of that, simply that a third party almost did win and that if it happened once it could again but of course never will with the type of discourse that guy is using. “Throwing away votes” and shit what a load of nonsense.
People like that are why third party votes dont win and seem to be wasted in that context.

Like that time they didn’t listen to their voter base and tried forcing Joe Biden again only to pull Kamala Harris out of their hat with no primary held practically giving the election to trump?
Or that time they didn’t prosecute him for the Jan 6th attack on the capital that he created, and in turn giving him another chance to screw us all?
There’s so much more, but that is a big piece of the puzzle right there.

Listen to their voter base? You mean take an unpopular stance on an issue that doesnt rank in the top 10 for any group of Americans. Oh wow you’ve got amazing political insight. They were already on the correct side of that issue.
They did prosecute trump. Trump won the election and corruptly cancelled it.
But yeah keep telling me how its a hard choice between the side thays actually improving conditions for people and the corrupt dictator. Fucken moron.

Had them forcing Joe Biden to run while he was clearly unfit to, they pretty much guaranteed themselves not to win. Also, why no primary? It obviously WAS in the top 10 issues of their voting base because they didn’t win.
Also, Several Democrats have voted with Republicans to support funding bills backed by President Trump, including notable figures like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Dick Durbin.
So yeah I’d vote democrat over the republican party, but I think a third party winning and gaining support is long, long overdue.
You can call me a moron all you want, if you are happy with the way things are keep voting for the only two parties we have had that both contributed in making it this way. Again, since you are unable to understand this I do not support republicans, I think democrats are better. However, I think both are long overdue to be extinguished with better options presented.
