       At this particular moment in time, I don't give a fuck what you think as long as you vote AGAINST FASCISM. Right now, that means voting Dem.

       @StillIRise1963 Yes, yes, the Dems are inadequate.But they’re not aggressively and maliciously monstrous.And no, a third party has no chance of winning at this time and place.And *monstrous* is the price of trying.This isn’t complex, FFS.

       @McPatrick @StillIRise1963 In the US, if you want to apply pressure from the left, you run as or vote for a Democrat. Because we build our coalitions in advance. In multi-party systems, you don't always know who your elected representative will have to work with to establish a voting majority. It can get weird. FPTP has a lot of flaws, but at least it simplifies coalition building.

       @Heather ALL electoral democracy systems have serious-to-severe dysfunctionality. It’s not the democracy side, it’s the dynamics and realities of election systems.

       @Aviva_Gary @StillIRise1963 Some people really don't understand civics, or they're accelerationists or some other type of sociopath.
