80-20 blowout for who?

This sort of thing happens in other countries. The Conservative party in Canada (federally) is not the same party as the previous Conservative party. After Brian Mulroney, the party got blown out so bad it lost official party status, theyd been around since 1850. The current conservative party is the renamed Reform party, founded 1988 or so. Went from a new party to governance in roughly 14 years. Ever now and then, the media still tries to call them “Tories” but they’re not, that party died, federally. Still exists in some provinces on a “state” level, Doug Ford is one, premier of Ontario, but works fairly closely with Federal Liberals more than Federal Conservatives.

Of the Democrats. What I’m saying that if just once in the last thirty years, there had been one definitive blow out of that party, all these silly debates of “lesser evil” and “you have to vote” would be moot, as they’d not be running literal garbage anymore.

No argument from me, I think leftists should caucus with neo-libs and stop virtue signaling through non voting or going third party. If we focused on practical actions, Democrats would get that 80-20 blowout and stop ignoring the left. It’s the idealistic non-voters preventing that blowout, doing look at me.

No, it’s the people voting for the lesser evil for 30 years preventing it. Yall shouldve just all voted republican en masse in 2000, or 2008. One decisive loss. Too late now. Trump is back with a narrow win come November. I don’t think Americans understand what a protest vote really is,
