    My voting strategy is super easy. You don’t need to keep up with politics or policy. Just see who the KKK is voting for and then vote for the other guy.

      As an outsider, it’s really depressing to hear you only get two parties to choose from.

        We have to keep it forever though, because some dead slave owners thought up the perfect government, apparently.

          by far my favorite part about this is that thomas jefferson thought the constitution should be rewritten from scratch every 25 years but that hasn’t stopped every conservative politician ever from treating it like gospel

          And we can’t change it because “if we don’t just keep following the system, we might elect Hitler. Don’t vote third party, that’s throwing your vote away and then the other guy will win”.

          There’s no winning. Only us constantly losing.

      There were a few times the Klan rallied behind progressive pro-civil rights candidates to intentionally sabotage them, but this tactic doesn’t get used today.

      That’s pretty good! Mine is similar: I check which feces-smearing insurrection has attendees with the “Camp Auschwitz” hoodies and vote against their candidate.

      You shouldn’t have just one other guy though. KKK might prefer one, but be ok with the other as well.
