    The idea that third-party candidates are responsible for the failures of the duopoly is a desperate lie spun by those who refuse to hold their own parties accountable.

    Blaming Nader for Bush’s rise is a convenient way to avoid facing the deeper rot within a system that constantly fails the people, choosing corporate interests over the lives and safety of everyday citizens.

      Blaming Nader is a recognition that WITHIN this system you either work for change or admit defeat.

      You get out of the hole before telling everyone how shitty they are for being in the hole.

      Or you make enemies and tell everyone they are shitty cause the hole is full of shit. You’re doing a good job with the latter.

        Blaming Nader is just a convenient excuse for not facing the real enemies—those who keep digging the hole deeper while pretending to lift us out.

        We can’t stay silent about the rot at the top just to make people feel comfortable in the mess they’ve created.

        If people are uncomfortable with what I have to say, we have a great blocking system here on Lemmy that they can use.

          So how do you actually deal with that?

          Just blame everyone? Cause the “top” isn’t so different from the “bottom”? Just say “rot” “rot” “rot” until you get your way?

          Or “block” “block” “block”?

            Dude, I made my viewpoints known. And you disagree. That’s ok. It’s ok to disagree.

            But I’ve let you know where I stand. I’m not voting for Harris. Just accept it and move on. Thanks.
