      We all want that, the difference is that we understand how this political system works well enough to know we can’t have it.

      If you’re advocating for overthrowing the government, dropping little internet comments isn’t how one does that thing.

      If you’re actually hoping to elect a third party president simply by helping them get more votes spread out across every district despite them having few to no reps in other branches of the federal government and hardly anyone in local governments, you have an inadequate understanding of the system you’re hoping to affect.

      If, on the other hand, you’re just using rhetorical gambits to discourage progressive voters in the upcoming election, I take back any implication that your comments are pointless or wrong. This is exactly how you’d go about that goal, great job.

            and that is what the next generation will also say in both parties thus perpetuating the cycle of a singular two party authoritative system

              Voting third party isn’t a reasonable option when one of the leading candidates is actively dismantling democracy. Voting for Biden is like saying “yes, I’d like to keep having a voice in my government”

              How do you think our system works, dude? Nobody here chooses to do it this way for fun. It’s a two party system. It’s rigged to be that way. Not our choice. Any other party aside from the GOP and Democrats is just an illusion. We don’t have a choice here.

              Really love it when self-proclaimed “experts” think they can criticize us and our country’s politics when they can’t even vote or even know how things actually work here.
