    Any healthy democracy has more than two candidates to choose from on a ballot.

    nothing better than the “unfair dems” to spoil a coalition. well, universe we already know they suck (just currently sucking less), so ya got something fresh?

    we all need to focus on changing a system that, at its core, ensures a two party system with nearly zero public impact on how america flexes international power - exactly as the monied wish it. I just happen to have an issue with solving the problem by burning the fucking house down with us in it.

      Yeah, this is exactly what I say to all these ‘Imma vote Third Party because Genocide JoeKamala is evil’ people. I have no problem with fixing the system so that it doesn’t mean we have to pick the lesser of two evils. But ‘burning the house down with us in it’ is exactly what Third Parties will accomplish in the current system, with the current voters. Donald Trump/Project 2025 must not win. Period.
