BenAveling@PallasRiot @amgine “Biden isn’t progressive enough, that’s why I’m voting for Trump”.
Oh. This is a "don't vote for anyone not part of the duopoly, even if they both suck, because the duopoly does not want to actually respond to voters" marketing thing.
Gotcha.
@PallasRiot @amgine “If you oppose genocide the only moral position is to let the election be decided only by people who support genocide”
As opposed to what? voting for the party whose leader is committing warcrimes supporting genocide? Hmm, one who talks about committing crimes, one who does it. 'Alex, I will take "Vote my conscience for someone else" for $∞!'
You cannot convince voters to vote against the bad guy unless you have a viable alternative option. Heinrich Held, Alfred Hugenberg, Ludwig Kaas, Ernst Thälman, Otto Wels, Arthur Crispen, Hans Vogel… all unpopular, all insisted on running.
@PallasRiot @amgine “Biden isn’t doing enough to stop the Zionists so I will do what I can to help the guy who has called on the Zionists to get it all over with faster”

The Green Party of the United States is a grassroots national party. We're the party for "We The People," the health of our planet, and future generations instead of the One Percent. We welcome all those who refuse to accept a choice limited to the Two Parties of War and Wall Street. The Green Party supports livable wages, universal health care (Medicare For All), repeal of Citizens United, free higher education, student debt forgiveness, full reproductive rights for women, human rights for all immigrants and for LGBTs, and racial justice: Black Lives Matter! Greens will lead the opposition to the Trump-Pence agenda during the next four years. We will not compromise, capitulate, or go along with the bipartisan consensus. The Green Party continues to represent the best hope for America's future.
@amgine @PallasRiot Many years ago, my now partner ate in a Soviet restaurant. The menu looked fantastic, mostly. But everything they tried to order, the kitchen is out of that. Eventually, they asked: what do you have? And there were only two choices. And one was much worse than the other.
If you actually want to work for the change you claim you want, learn from the MAGA: Win preselection in one of the parties. Because on election day, there will be two choices.

That is a nice, simplistic, acontextual, and irrelevant story. Thank you for sharing it, but I find it to be defeatist. I prefer to look at #history.
The #USA is a multiparty #democracy. The current dominant parties have not always existed. There have been periods of multiparty governance in the USA; it is the normal circumstance in other, similar, #democratic states.
Voting for any evil is morally and ethically wrong.
