    Now that can’t be, I received word from a liberal on this very platform that the US didn’t send them $24 billion in weapons, they actually only sent $20 billion therefore the genocide is back on the menu!

    Sometimes I wonder if liberals even feel cognitive dissonance at being the same MAGA chuds they claim to hate so much.

    Ah wait, if they did, they wouldn’t be liberals!

      Liberals delude themselves as being different simply because they “support” liberation politics but they are simply helpless against the system that forces them to support fascist policies

    Ever wonder why these are our only two choice?

    Why 3rd parties can’t run without spoiling the election?

    Consider watching a video on First Past the Post voting to find out why the spoilere effect exists.

    Start a new party, don’t believe what everyone will say about the chances for it to succeed. Talk to the people, directly.

        Well thanks for that I guess. Voting Harris and protesting against the genocide still seem like the most effective combination of actions with my very minimal power.

          Thats great, but you have to think about what happens after voting for Harris that will prevent this choice next election?

            The vote is necessary, but not sufficient. My vote is a short term strategy for harm reduction. Working towards actual electoral reform is my long term strategy for fixing things.

      Work towards passing state level electoral reform in your state. Once more then two parties can be viable, competition will force the legacy political parties to actually attempt to represent people.

      I doubt they’d be able to make that pivot. Representation in exchange for votes is a purity test neither will pass IMO.

        Already ahead of you on that as an active member of my state’s ranked choice voting initiative.
