It’s not “hopping on the bandwagon”, with the way your election system is rigged, there are only two options for a lot of places, anything else is a wasted vote
If you got rid of the Electoral Colleges and the FPP then suddenly it’s not a wasted vote
And you know what changes first past the post? Democrats getting off their ass and voting for actual nondemocrat or socialist candidates. If they are pushed past the post by Democrats, then they win. It’s as simple as that. Trying to reform a party that is operating exactly as designed will always lead to failure
Oh wait… they have. It was found to not work unless you’re in a “safe” voting block, and if you’re living anywhere with any amount of swing to it, you INSTEAD make the party you hate win.
“both sides bad” is such a juvenile take. It’s myopic. Yes, both sides are bad, but one side is clearly worse than the other. Not being able to handle that shows an inability to let go of binary thinking.
There’s a difference between a stubbed toe and a broken leg, and looking down on people who don’t want a broken leg and are trying to keep the “break everyone’s legs” party out of power is just dumb.
It’s liberals with the binary thinking. There are no 2 sides bad because the US is run by one oligarchy, and it’s bad. There is no good shade of fascism.
So you want everyone else to do the work and when that job is finished you will hop on our bandwagon and proclaim you always supported us?

No, all that will do is make republicans win in former Dem safehouses
You woefully underestimate how much the deck is intentionally stacked against everyone but the big two
then their party needs to work harder to EARN those votes
Yes! Genius!
Why has nobody thought of that before???

I hate them both
Cool, but one is trying to destroy your rights quickly, putting people into camps, and treating LGBTQ as monsters.
one is trying to do it slowly, not putting people in camps, and it’s pretty chill with LGBTQ, which is better?
The latter!
Your daily reminder that BlueMaga liberals don’t consider foreigners human
Who built the infrastructure for one team to do it quickly?
You can be working towards voter reform and be voting for Democrats at the same time. They aren’t mutually exclusive.
So your plan is to work towards voter reform while supporting the politicians that do not want voter reform?
I’m sure some Democrats would like it, there’s people who run on that platform. It’s better than letting Republicans win at least.
They might claim to. They’ll find the no votes.
As opposed to the Republicans who would never go for voter reform?
Republicans do what they run on.
Democrats don’t.
So your solution is to what, not vote?
Your solution is to support democrats, but only when they’re fighting progressives and supporting genocide.
No question mark.
democrats are republicans
Ah, so you’re a moderate and think both sides are the same, got it
No, I’m a communist that sees your parties from the outside, their differences are superficial and their similarities are vast
