I voted for Biden last time but if he’s the guy again in ‘24 I’m going to vote for a 3rd party candidate. It won’t matter where I live since the state will go blue but I hope it sends a message that ppl are (I am) getting tired of the D’s bs

whenever this happens the message libs claim to take from it is "if the berniebro tankies refuse to vote for us that means we need to move farther right"

before every election they have it loaded up and ready to go

The funny part is that even if the Bernie bro left comes out and votes for their candidate, then their excuse is "the Bernie bro left already will vote for us, so we need to move further right".

Basically no matter what the left does, the center will use it as an excuse to move right

They would never acknowledge that Sanders supporters actually supported their side. More Sanders voters voted for Clinton than Clinton supporters voted for Obama, yet they and third party voters are blamed for Trump - despite Clinton getting millions more votes - as if we are a cabal that controls the electoral college

I’m in a swing state and I won’t vote for fascists.

Sounds like the right choice to me. Voting is a fuck, do something useful instead

I would vote for communist candidates if they were running around here, but none are deeper-sadness

Think about taking the time to vote for third party. Walk up to them, look them in the eye, and tell them to get fucked. That's what I'm doing anyway.

There's a little irony in that the only way to break the partisan deadlock - which has shifted from anything voters give a shit about to the parties' own favorite stances and issues - is to introduce a third party wild card.

Time to weekend at Bernie’s
