You don’t need to if you just want better options for your presidential candidates.

If Republicans wins, doesn’t that make you a “ineffectual whiny loser” too?

Man, if only there was some kind of like, party representative, whose job is to be the face of the party and their policies in order to motivate people to vote for that party. Oh well, might as well cry about Trump a million times over instead of thinking about how the party could improve it’s own odds of getting elected.

I just think we should hold our political representatives to a higher standard. Trump got in, for a number of cultural reasons I’m told, but a significant contributing factor was because Democrats pushed Hillary Clinton super hard under the assumption that they’d win anyway, and ended up alienating much of the left who didn’t like Hillary who, shockingly, didn’t vote for her.

Biden’s stance on Israel has likely alienated much of the voter base who has ties to Palestine or at the least are sympathetic to their struggle. I don’t like seeing patterns of loss in the party that’s supposed to be the good guys in the two honestly pretty bad parties.

Yeah if America was just honest about the political douloploly then merely being better than the worst option would be a valid strategy.

Unfortunately these pesky third parties seem to provide a better option to part of voterbase, and sadly the poor Democrats still have to compete with them too instead of just settling on being the least mediocre. So sad, so evil.

Yep, not denying that, and the solution is just for the Democrats to just not be a worse option that third parties. Democrats are not entitled to votes becuase they’re just better than the other bad option.

I mean in an ideal democracy voting for the party you actually like wouldn’t just lead to the party you hate the most getting more power.

I said third parties my gamer, as in people not voting either rerun of the crusty old guys.

As an outsider, I feel that the Democrats would have an easier time turning third parties over if they didn’t push a dementia patient who could lose the last of his competency next term.
