    First of all, you’re not only wrong you’re also kind of a dick.

    Second of all, people like you love to mouth off about voting blue no matter who, insist we support whatever Democrat shows up, even if it’s literally a Republican who changed parties to run for a vulnerable seat. Then turn around and tell us that any alternative to just voting isn’t a serious plan and we should all step in line. Which is exactly how we ended up in this fucking mess.

    So finally, fuck you buddy.

      In the UK we are finally beginning to see a shift away from the traditional 2 big parties, Labour and Conservative. Unfortunately far-right Reform are looking to be the biggest beneficiaries of this shift, however the Greens are polling ahead of Labour and they are filling in that huge gaping hole on the left that was created by Labour’s move to the right.

      Not that things are the same in the US other than the two-party system, but it shows that there is hope and that people should not have to settle for the less evil option. Americans should not have to keep voting against things and they should be able to vote for something.

        Doesn’t Labour have a supermajority in Parliament? That looks more like a one party government to me.

      How long does it take you to vote for “not Trump”?

      A few hours? Still leaves plenty of time to work towards a sustainable alternative.

      That’s the reason the left always fails. The right will have power struggles but close ranks when it comes down to ensuring the left (or slightly less right) don’t win.

      The left always ensure the worst possible outcome by playing trolley problem at the ballot box.

        Tell me you don’t understand how American elections work without actually telling me.

      We tried nothing and we are out of ideas. Also, don’t tell us to vote, we haven’t done that either but it won’t work.
