I don’t follow this, how has this person voting 3rd party in 2016 led to facism starting in the 80s? For that matter, how has 3rd party voting led to facism at all? I’m very much struggling to make sense of this.

That’s not what I’m saying, but I’ll clarify.
It’s people who vote Red or Blue regardless of the quality of candidate that have set us on the path to fascism, and the fact that they’ve done so for the last 44 years despite the monumental failures of the ruling parties, culminating in two obviously cognitively impaired candidates in 2024.
I just now realized that your vote means nothing if the majority of the group you’re assigned to voted differently, and it means little when with the majority. I’m not from the US and I thought I had understood the modular voting system and the issues with only two great parties, but their combination is horrifying.
I voted 3rd party in 2016, because fuck the 2- party system. I’ll do it again once we get ranked-choice voting, but not before.
Your vote is your right to do with as you please, but this is the thinking that’s set us inevitably on the 44-year path to fascism.
I’d argue the road to fascism started a hell of a lot sooner than 2016. Capitalism in decay, and all that.
Agreed.

This comment is ridiculous.
But I’ve explained my point in greater detail in the thread if you’d like to read it.
Do you live in a swing state? Because if you don’t, might as well vote third party
