I mean, is it not apparent at this point?
If you watch someone do the thing where they step on a rake and hit themselves in the face more than once, you have to accept the reality that they’re probably stupid.
Americans have stepped on the rake a lot more than once.
It’s like they built roads out of rakes and will loudly exclaim that they have the best roads in the world.
This is the analogy I use.
Remember those high school seniors who were bullies to everyone and treated the teachers like garbage? The ones who know they were destined to work shitty jobs or join the military because they’d never go to college or get a good trade.
That’s your Trump voter. They know their way of life has peaked. They are too old, too dumb, or too stubborn to adapt to a changing world. They want coal plants and big gas guzzling cars because that’s what they want
If you add that these bullies were given high-paying blue collar jobs, cheap houses, and wives to abuse freely, it’s no longer an analogy. The Trumpist boomers literally had this happen. When this system broke they reacted to it like the selfish, hateful idiots they are.
Don’t kid yourself.
Trump has support across all age groups.
Go back to 'Gamergate" and you’ll see how the Right created the incel movement.
Yes. Youve still got people on Lemmy who argue for a 3rd party vote in the previous and next election. Its mind numbing the fairy land these people live in. All around the world people are watching as Americans struggle with simplest choices.
But as fun as it is to blame Americans entirely their media is completely cooked. Their FCC refuses to enforce laws against bad actors. Internal bad actors and external bad actors constantly spread misinfo and manipulate public perception. Even though its been said over and over I still dont think people actually understand the influence this is having on the average citizen. You can convince the media voter of anything if you can control their perception of the world.
You will blame the third party vote, meanwhile, a third of those eligible to, don’t even vote, and you can’t even get tens of millions of your own party members to vote.
It seems third party voters are the absolute least of your worries, but do go on with your mind numbing. Yeah, they’re the first idiots that come to mind, eh? BRILLIANT
I didnt blame them I said theyre stupid.
Idk man Ross Perot almost won back in the 90s if the cancer thing hadn’t happened he might have actually done it and then I truly believe once it happened it would have continued to happen.
But instead yeah we should keep the system we have now democrats and republicans have been so good to us wouldn’t you agree?
You’re like the guy that tells people not to vote for the union.
Bonus: here’s an article talking about how the democrats are helping trump get his spying powers kicked off even better in the USA.
Make sure to keep telling people to only vote for these two parties though instead of trying to gain enough support for an actual change.

And another one where the dems helped good ol child rapist trump as well
Yes democrats have been very good.
Like that time they didn’t listen to their voter base and tried forcing Joe Biden again only to pull Kamala Harris out of their hat with no primary held practically giving the election to trump?
Or that time they didn’t prosecute him for the Jan 6th attack on the capital that he created, and in turn giving him another chance to screw us all?
There’s so much more, but that is a big piece of the puzzle right there.
Listen to their voter base? You mean take an unpopular stance on an issue that doesnt rank in the top 10 for any group of Americans. Oh wow you’ve got amazing political insight. They were already on the correct side of that issue.
They did prosecute trump. Trump won the election and corruptly cancelled it.
But yeah keep telling me how its a hard choice between the side thays actually improving conditions for people and the corrupt dictator. Fucken moron.
Had them forcing Joe Biden to run while he was clearly unfit to, they pretty much guaranteed themselves not to win. Also, why no primary? It obviously WAS in the top 10 issues of their voting base because they didn’t win.
Also, Several Democrats have voted with Republicans to support funding bills backed by President Trump, including notable figures like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Dick Durbin.
So yeah I’d vote democrat over the republican party, and to be clear I did but I think a third party winning and gaining support is long, long overdue.
You can call me a moron all you want, if you are happy with the way things are keep voting for the only two parties we have had that both contributed in making it this way. Again, since you are unable to understand this I do not support republicans, I think democrats are better. However, I think both are long overdue to be extinguished with better options presented.
Also no the Senate acquitted trump. Which was bullshit, and republican led to be clear.
Where do you get your news? You’re hitting every right wing talking point like a machine. Theres no way you are on the left.
This reminded me of this conversation.
This is why I view the Democrats as a controlled opposition. Because they act like they are.
I vote third party specifically to make people like you mad. I took time out of my day to vote green.
You want my vote, give me a single issue that the dems will be good on
