Don't be a coward and claim you're voting third party because you don't like either, just own up to the fact that doing so is a chickenshit way of getting to vote for fascism and the end of democracy entirely.

It isn't a choice between two shitty options, it is a choice between getting to work towards a better future or never getting to choose shit again. We lucked out that the stupid orange turd was incompetent and had no idea how to capitalize on the pandemic to properly seize power. That isn't the case any longer, they straight up have plans ready to put into motion and complete the right wing takeover of the US once and for all.

Stupid assholes voting third party helped him win the first time, are you unaware of that?

Fucking christ man.

I'm still voting third party like (at least some, but hopefully many) others are doing. The two choices are junk and at this point, biden isn't really doing much to persuade israel to stop what I consider genocide. Sure he is trying to placate the crowd and give food to palestines, but he has (as of now) not outright condemned, or stopped supporting israel. Trump would be worse yeah, but why would I want to vote for two turds. One is just the biggest turd, but a turd is a turd imo. This could very well be the year a third party actually ends up winning and making REAL change.

At this point, having just two choices everyone only votes on is one step away from what russia does and only really elects one person. I guess two is better than one, but like...the bigger point...look at most european nations, like france, sure some wackos there, but third parties (and same in australia I believe, just examples) actually get a LOT of votes and makes a big difference.

In US its time for the two party system to be retired, and do what europe (and again I think australia) does and have far stronger voting bases in third parties. To me, thats a real democracy, not a pseudo democracy or republic or whatever lame system thats currently in place.

Plus maybe third parties can get 1 vote=1 person, instead of the dumb system where rural votes have all the advantage and city votes almost have none.

To add

People talk about change and improvement in this thread and elsewhere like reddit, but voting for the same thing each time isn't really change or improvement at all. Voting third party and enough third party voters, that would be REAL change and REAL improvement. I'd like the US votes to be more like europe and australia, vastly better system imo

The Ukrainian-speaking segment of Twitter has become a cesspool of Russian propaganda that tries to undermine Ukrainian political stability really hard. In my more than 10 years on it, I have never seen anything like that, not during Maidan, not at the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

Not only it is apparent that they have a large budget but it is so pushed that I am sure that Twitter itself helps them.
