    No offense, but if you hate democracy you really shouldn’t vote.

      “You hate democracy” -person who doesn’t understand how FPTP in our kind of democracy isn’t conducive to meaningful third-party voting without major voting reform

      If you want to vote third party, then maybe make sure that it’s viable first. Campaign in the long term, propose reform, gather grassroots support, etc. Simply voting third party in our current system does nothing.

      Please don’t advocate for people to not vote. Especially if you claim to not hate democracy.

      Says the person that loves democracy so much they refuse to either understand or accept that until third party candidate figure out how to make themselves viable, you are throwing away a vote.

      You all like to say ad nauseam- that it’s the democrats that need to show that they deserve your vote. But fail on every occasion to explain what any of the third party candidates have done to earn them.

      Especially when all of them provenly do jack shit three out of every four years.

      Now. I will patiently await your hasty lack of response.

        I live in a state in this so-called democracy where my vote has literally no impact, I’m not voting for the Democrats because of their incessant warmongering.

        I’m not even in PSL but they’ve certainly not been doing “jack shit”, they’ve been very involved in antiwar protests since Iraq.

      If you don’t vote, you don’t get to complain about the results
