        You can look at what our ancestors did. It took voting against the lesser evil to end slavery. The Republican Party was a third party that abolitionists put forward after generations of effort failed to work either of the existing parties from within. In the end it took forming an entirely new party to actually push forward with abolition.

          Just as soon as there’s a viable leftist third party, they’ll have my support. Currently, third party votes only guarantee the greater evil wins.

            Yes we wouldnt want you to have to do any work of course. We’ll serve you up something nice on a silver platter, until then I’m sure all the Palestinians will understand that you voted for their genocide. “Oh, there wasn’t an immediate solution to everything available?” They’ll say “no no, we totally get it, please tell them we think its awesome starving to death, wouldn’t want them to be mildly inconvenienced” they’ll say.

                “one foreign-policy one-issue” say you dont give a shit about genocide you coward.

                but as this last election has proven, voting for them when they can’t win only leads to worse and more genocides

                Because the tactic of running an unelectable psycho and yelling at anyone daring to critique her has really been doing wonders.
                Funny to bring up Venezuela, you people really have the memory of goldfish. Venezuela has been the target of the US for over a decade now, same goes for Iran. The only thing thats worse (for you) is that you have to pretend to give a shit.

                  Oh, he gives a shit. Like every other centrist, he prefers genocide over all things.

                    The majority of deaths in Gaza happened under Biden. Things did not get exponentially worse, you just didnt give a shit when it wasn’t politically expedient for you to do so. The only reason we are in a situation where Trump is president is because of decades of this weasely behaviour from cretins like you.

                    Maybe you’ve never had your neighbors dragged out of their homes,

                    If you have then this is another count of you being some sort of psycho, since more people were deported under Biden than Trump 1. So if this is something you actually cared about, then you wouldnt care for dems either.

                    shipped off to extra-national prisons,

                    Like Guantanamo Bay? Or Abu Ghraib? A CIA blacksites? Or do those not count because they target brown people? And do you think its better when they’re in proper AMERICAN detention camps? Run by Tom Homan, who was installed by Obama into an agency expanded by Obama? I guess that doesn’t matter though, because its your team.

                    brutally executed in the street

                    Which never happened under dems, oh wait it did. And the leaders of the Ferguson riots were assassinated in a dem city under a dem governor under Obama. Cops kill people all the time, you just dont give a shit when its not politically expedient.

                    as a direct result of low voter turnout and third party vote-splitting.

                    No, Trump won because the democrats suck so much they can’t even win against a pedophile rapist. There was no state where third party votes were enough to make up the difference and even if there had been then that would not have mattered because dems are not owed your vote.
