I've been shushing people who say there won't be free #elections in the #USA anymore

There is no one as tedious and annoying as the "both sides suck" "you're just voting for the lesser of two evils" edgelords -
Nevermind that a lesser evil is all you will ever get, in any timeline, in any country, in any election
Now and forever
If a literal demigod descended from the heavens with angels singing and ran in an election, typical politics would paint them as evil one way or another in contrived fashion, people would nod along in the usual lazy cynicism, and thus they would just be the lesser evil
Toxic idealists and mindless cynics are fucking stupid losers

Because if a candidate is not perfect I can't taint my perfect soul. And before I vote I have to feel like my vote is a statement of eternal love. Only then will I vote
Oh if I don't vote I help fascism win?
Well my holy sense of self-regard and my perfectionist ego masturbation is far more important than my entitled lazy inaction resulting in goons murdering people in the streets, don't you know
🤮🤮🤮

I've got 50k such comments under my belt
I've got 200k more to go
Until my anger at nonvoting assholes who helped get us MAGA in power is quenched

Because of the FPTP voting system 3rd party only divides the left and hands MAGA the win. So we are stuck with the need to take over, gut and cannibalize the democratic party and make it an apparatus of the left. And we can that. The centrists are weak and the anger is strong
@benroyce @em_and_future_cats Oh, absolutely, I'm definitely not suggesting voting for third party candidates, at least not at a federal level. There is *some* benefit, sometimes, to voting for a third party at a state level, and there's usually benefit to third party votes at a county and city level. As long as the system is plurality, Democrats will continue to get my endorsement, but I'll be damned if I let them off the hook for being centrists.
