🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱I never once said I would only vote for the perfect canddidate. None of the candidates are perfect, if that were the case I wouldnt be voting.
No, my line in the sand is simple, I wont vote for an evil person or vote in a way that perpetuates a two party system (which itself is evil and fascist in its nature).
Those parties can change, but it usually requires some sort of cataclysm first.
The two main parties int he USA have flipped 8 times in the history of the USA. In those 8 times every single time the new party that became a majority party had very little (~1% support) the year before.
The only thing that is real about the 2-party system is that it gives the illusion of a two party system because the parties change abruptly and the vote doesnt tend to reflect actual support.
So, voting outside of those two parties really, truly is nothing but performative.
Since your axiom is false so is your conclusion. You also are under the mistaken impression that a vote that happens to be for the winner somehow has more value. Being right doesnt have any value add to your vote.
If someone is committed to voting third party, my only response is: What the fuck?
Thats basically my response whenever someone says their voting one of the major two parties. Sounds like they should be in a straight jacket its so outlandish.
