Ah yes, fascism light. No wonder people are voting third party lol.
The two-party system is perfect. George Washington and John Adams had it wrong when they claimed a two-party system would be an evil. No policies of third parties have ever been adopted by either of the two big parties. No political candidate would ever dare switch between and third party and that of one of the big two, sometimes multiple times over their career. Useless. Certainly the political spectrum is sufficiently represented as a two-dimensional line depicting left, center, and right? Issues such as monetary policy, interventionalist policies, border security, personal liberty, states’ rights, federal powers, and debate of democracy vs. republic have already been solved and merits no further discussion. All 335 million Americans’ ideologies fit perfectly into either of the two big parties’ platform and always have. No other party besides Democratic and Republican have ever dominated US politics. Political parties are so paramount to the existence of America that the founding fathers went through great lengths to outline their implementation in the Constitution.
Just think, all Harris has to do is condemn the genocide in Palestine and 3rd party voters would vote for her.
I get this, but playing it safe is going nowhere. Trump was elected not because he was a decent candidate, but because he was a gamble that paid off in spades.
“I don’t want to vote for the party giving free weapons to a genocidal dictator.”
“Oh, so you’re literally a fascist?”
🤡
First of all, you might as well one would be helping Harris by not voting for Trump lmao. Why would not voting for either help one of them?
Also, while I would have her win if I had to choose between the two, I don’t like her at all and wouldn’t bother voting if I lived in the USA. The impact of a single vote is so small, even in a swing state, and the chances of one’s vote being the decisive one as well, that I really wouldn’t place much importance on whether I vote.
Of course upholding a system of social incentives for voting by shaming those that don’t vote for your favourite candidate might make sense, I think it also promotes a very toxic political climate.
I voted early in Wisconsin. There’s a ton of 3rd party candidates. I loved seeing it. Democracy is safe here.
Posters like this always assume that their candidate is the other option if the person doesn’t abstain or vote 3rd party.

Unrelated to the message - that’s a bad use of the meme, doesn’t fit at all.
Funny, Republicans are saying the same thing the other way around. I hope both parties die out fast.
Both sides saying the other will destroy us. The parallels go way farther than anyone is willing to admit. Voting for the “lesser evil” has only led us to this two party system where substance is lost. It is impossible to vote objectively (I always vote) and expect less than regression. My state has become a haven for one side with over a million people moving to this state for political reasons.
I can vote Republican to pretend like things are better while not changing, or getting worse. Or I can vote Democrat to pretend like they aren’t going to approve everything Republicans want anyways. Or I can vote for the best candidate who has no chance to win but I have a semblance of pride while the election is predictable in my district and state anyways. Yet I have to not share who I voted for because I will be blamed by both sides for their own engineered and predictable failures.
I am going to get a lot of hate on here for being honest about the situation. I no longer care about that. No I am not a plant from Russia or one of the parties. And, yes I do believe those entities are really helping the division, pushing false narratives and mal-information. However, I do not blame them for the problems. The problems have been engineered from within our own borders. That is a whole other topic with volumes of evidence and books.
We the people have been made ignorant and angry. I don’t know how we can recover from this, but I know life is going to suck, no matter who is elected president next month. It WILL only “get worse for working class Americans, minorities and women.” And I have no clue how or when it will end. Everytime there is progress and opportunity, there are Americans turning against it while using it for self destruction. I feel horrible for the generations inheriting our chaos and possible destruction.
Not understanding the concept of the Secret Ballot and it’s consequences
we will have a long memory
Could there be a single more empty threat from a burger-munching American? The whole world will laugh at you for thousands of years until you recede into myths about a people so callous and stupid it beggars belief.
Don’t worry. I’m going to start rounding up the non-voters.
Can’t wait for Blue MAGA to win so they can go to brunch and not do any form of direct action or mutual aid for 4 years while the genocides continue, then shit on leftists for not voting hard enough at the next election.
