One pollster sees “flashing red” signs on youth turnout as Gen Z and millennial voters, who are not satisfied with either party, could again play a decisive role in the next election.
Yep. I get the desire to want something different, I do. But it’s essentially impossible until the system changes. And the only way the system changes is through the Democratic party while Republicans are voted out.
Anyone pushing to not vote or vote third party is either politically ignorant or intentionally trying to do this to give Rs an edge.
This has been proven wrong in the past. The Dems don’t have any intention to have anything else than a 2 party system, and they wouldn’t touch legislation that would enable it.
Dems aren’t going to fix it and reps want to destroy it and aren’t going to vote for someone who isn’t a rep so let’s just kill the democratic party in the name of “something new” - oh look we’re a full on fascist nation now because dipshits like you convinced stupid people that going full fasc is better than small incremental progress.
Like I get it, Dems suck they really do. But if you think destroying that party before republicans is going to result in improvment? Well let me make sure I stay far away from whatever you’re smoking cause it’s got you fucked up. Now go on, call me a centrist for being practical and not wanting to throw the country away, I you know you want to.
I agree with you, and can’t understand how it is so hard for people to grasp. It is a popularity contest, a numbers game. If you give votes to a candidate who has less than 1% chance of winning the election, you’re basically not voting at all. Our election system does not allow for third parties to ever realistically win.
Heh, how naive. Why would “democrats” do it? They’re quite happy with how it works, especially now that republicans’ voters are dying of old age. Everyone should vote a 3rd party, until then you guys are fucked. You basically have two right-wing parties.

That’s why even Bernie ran only as a Democrat for president.
The longest serving third party senator in history refusing to run third party for presidency says a lot about third-party politics.

It does, once all of you “would love to, but…” people actually do vote.
Did the person you’re replying to at any point suggest voting for Republicans or for a third party?

That’s not completely true…
True, but realistically they have no chance even with those, once their old voters die.
