voter suppression and voting are not the same thing.

a vote for third parties is as valid as a vote for a primary color.

That’s why a big portion of the funding for parties or candidates that pull from the political left in the US are extremely wealthy conservatives, right?

You Americans are really weird in that regard. As a foreigner, both your parties are fucking horrible. To demonstrate what I mean: one party wants to ban abortions, the other party says that unless you vote for them, the bad guys will take away your abortions and then they proceed to do absolutely nothing about it.

So yeah, one of your parties is almost cartoonishly evil, the other is plain old adult-level evil.

It’s not that democrats are any better than republicans, they’re just smarter about pretending they’re not evil.

This is not only incredibly reductionist, it’s just flatout wrong. How can people still tout this “both parties are the same” bullshit?

It’s gonna get real hard to keep it up in a few months when we start to see the real world implications of a second Trump regime.

Making wild leaps of interpretation and assumption is the only way Democrats have any points.

And the fault for that lies squarely with Democrat politicians.

The fault lies squarely with people who make assinine claims without any evidence, pretending they hold some deep wisdom when they really don’t know shit.

You are the evidence to support my claim, Poopster, in case that wasn’t obvious.

it’s absolutely not politicians, it’s the people.

This is like being presented with “would you rather stick a nail in your arm, or in your eye” and then doing nothing, only to have the nail get stuck in your eye by a third party.

Exactly. Trump got less votes than he did last election (which he lost).

I voted, that should be enough, same as anyone.

Also, both sides are bad, in different ways.
