   @freemo @Tengrain You realize that in the US, the GOP pays the expenses to get third parties on the ballot? If we had a system like Germany's where parties getting over 5% got a proportional share of votes in the parliament, voting for small parties would be great, but in the US, you either get outright fascism or you get an often disappointing middle of the road party.

     @not2b

     "disappointing middle of the road"... I mean, yea they can be disappointing, but far far less disappointing then the two major parties.

     as for middle of the road (aka moderate/centrist) thats exactly why we need them, to end this extremist childist BS and find moderate "middle road" solutions again

     @Tengrain

     Factually accurate version would have:

     * pro-segregationist
     * Nazi
     * Third-party

     I'll pick third-party

     Gonna repeat myself:

     This is the only question on the ballot in 2024.

     Folks, it is all about voting for democracy (little dee).
