I know nothing should surprise me with these fucking people at this point, but my mouth still dropped open when I read that.

      There are not just two candidates in the US, although the establishment would prefer everyone to believe that.

        right but FPTP kinda ensures third party is negligible until it becomes the ‘second party’ right?

        edit: and also, i agree itd not youre fault, not trying to assess blame, just trying to understand the psyche of a (realistically) non-voter

            So you acknowledge your part in getting Trump elected, good to know.

            In a few years maybe you’ll drop this delusion that you didn’t elect Trump by not voting for Harris.

              My part in getting Trump elected is minuscule to the part the Democratic Party played to get him electable.
