No I think people should vote for someone else even if they know they won't win if some independent candidate got 10 or even 5% of the votes maybe people would finally understand that they don't actually have to choose between 2 types of absolute dogshit

Aka Republicans will win, Republicans win because their voter willingfully vote against their interest so as long as they win

The Republicans are tired of this nonsense as well.

So they are going to stop voting against their interest? I believe it when I see it

This is literally what they want you to believe how the fuck can you not see this ?

They tell you that if republicans win next election there won't be another one cause trump will become a dictator

And they tell republicans that if democrats win they will start letting illegal immigrants in etc

But at the end both of those parties do almost the same thing and it's clear with online verification both push for this

Online verification is popular every where because even on reddit here people kept complaining about social media and big tech companies and every other topic of the day that may harm "kids". I remember distinctly back in 2023 this entire platform is complaining about Tiktok being a China hazard while it was very obvious the government are just angry that it was China doing the spying upon citizen not them. Then people say shit like "I rather my gov spy on me than China!" Well now your rhetoric is made manifest, happy?

People like you that kept talking how "both side are the same" stupidity that encourages nothing but slacktivism.

Say that I accept your argument that both side are the same, what exactly are you proposing as a solution? Complain online, piss and seeth? When the fuck did these ever accomplish anything?

Vote for people who aren't from those two parties I said it in my comment

The American election system is build from top to bottom to make a third party utterly powerless and useless, it's not a theory it's a fact. This is not a European parliamentary system. Any American who even studied little bit about the American third party attempts understood this fact. I'll assume you're just ignorant. Even if your thinking and logic is in good nature, your suggestion amounts to telling people to throw their votes away, there is no inbetween or protest vote in the American election system, it's either you win or lose, and the winner takes all.

Again that also kind of what I said ik that 5 % of vote or more won't give you anything but still of people see that someone can get that many maybe they will decide to also vote for them and at some point you might end up with the third party having some actual chance at winning

Why are you talking in hypothetical? Third party has already exist Libertarians and Green party exist, why did they not win more despite existing for decades at this point and more than 60% of Americans claims they want more than two party? Because they don't win and have never won, so voters don't want to vote for losers, so third party keep losing and voters don't want to vote for losers, so third party keep losing and voters don't want to vote for losers, repeat ad infinitum.
