If most everyone is opposed to genocide then I agree with them and want to help them find parties and candidates that oppose it too, like psl!

What party in opposition to genocide do you support?

I’m not going to stop politely and courteously advocating for the party and candidate I think is appropriate in threads where it’s on topic in a political comm.

It might not be a good idea to accuse people of bad faith when you open up with a sarcastic insult. World is pretty strict about that stuff, it’s like their number one rule.

America is a two party system.

Someone should tell it there’s all these other parties then.

With the way our system is set up, a third party will never win. Especially when 50% of America is still backing Trump. We need a new voting system before anything can change

Even for a losing party, vote tallies are used to determine access to funding, events, media and help to raise public awareness.

We gotta start somewhere.

Or we could just vote third party and convince conservatives to vote third party as well?

Most adults are against throwing away votes on untested, unproven clowns.
