[politics, feelings] the 'vote for third parties instead' push I've been seeing lately is getting me depressed as fuck right now.
July, July
we don't have a system that allows for third party voting to work right now!
July, July
saying 'both parties are equally bad' is FUCKING DISGENUINE AND HIDEOUS WHEN ONE PARTY HAS GONE FULL ACTUAL NAZI
July, July

But naturally I'm seeing this mostly from white people who are insisting they aren't racist and pro-lgbt.
July, July
who are either straight or not obviously queer in some way.
July, July
And if you're reading this and feel called out?
July, July

Voting third party WON'T SAVE YOU.
July, July
if you can't put together the pieces of what Trump, Fox, and the far right have been pushing YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

SPOILER ALERT
I remember learning about third parties in civics and was gung ho for about a year before reality kicked in
July, July
SPOILER ALERT
: I removed a friend my age- 29- for repeatedly pushing VOTE THIRD PARTY even after I called her out on it with what it means for anyone who isn't white or in a place of privilege.
SPOILER ALERT
you're fuckin throwing your vote away, guys
you're fuckin throwing your vote away, guys

Voting for third party is a waste right now. Biden isn’t perfect but I would vote for a literal rutabaga if it stood a chance
Tad Cooper
A banana would be better than trump.
kiwi burgers
under your system isn't it effectively a vote for trump rather than a straight waste?
July, July
black_catxiii: Right now, basically yes.
SPOILER ALERT
because it splits the democratic vote, yeah
SPOILER ALERT
the republican vote is. pretty united.

I like the analogy that says Biden isn't a taxi. He won't get you exactly where you want to go. But he's a bus heading in the right direction and that is better than going backwards.

the youth vote is too idealistic it's always been a problem but with things as polarized as they are rn it's actively causing real harm
