The end of the day I won't blame the young people, though. I will blame the red hat fascists who want to install an orange dictator.
Edit: Young people get a pass because at least they are passionate about something. I'm over here, dead inside, praying to a computer that things don't get any worse then they already are.
I blame First Past The Post voting, for keeping the people handcuffed to two legacy political parties.
Perhaps Republicans would vote less clowns into office, but they are chained to the Republican party.
Same is true for the Democrats. We don't need to be stuck with these two parties. There can be something else.
Right. I wish people were upset about not having ranked choice as they were the genocide in Gaza. If we changed the way we voted voting for the lesser evil wouldn't be a thing.
I blame my dumb ass for voting for Nader in 2000. Don’t be like me. Learn from the mistakes of others!
The people who are to blame are the Republicans. That is where you need to direct your anger.
I’m not angry. I regret voting third-party in an election that barely elected Bush, a year before 9/11, that he used to justify a two front war resulting in nearly one million deaths. I’m encouraging others to learn from my mistake.
Sure but we keep losing sight of what is truly pushing us over the edge
Wanting a three party system but the government won’t comply?
I was going with a single party trying to install an autocrat.
What do you suggest people do about it this election?
I think they should vote back in Trump and let him dismantle American democracy /s
So you don’t have a suggestion? Because like it or not, Trumps base will vote him in if we don’t suck it up and vote for Biden.
I'm voting Biden despite it not meaning very much in my deep red state. I show up for down ballot elections, though. The presidency is only one hurdle. Reclaiming the government at state and local levels is way more important.
