in aus/nz, greens are basically the standard leftie party and have filled the hole left behind by labor's rightward shift. sometimes they even get to form a minority government. idk how far away the us green party is to that tho. at the very least, you'd need to get rid of first past the post.

Biden will actively accelerate the climate apocalypse for 4 years. The white nationalist Republicans will crush 2024, and likely be re-elected in 2028.

You can't wait until 2032. You'll be dead or caught up in a proxy war.

I had assumed for a while that taintrunner et al had become convinced that america and humanity were irrecoverably doomed and voting was a waste of time, and hated libs because their optimism cruelly gave hope to the most desperate among us that this might not be the case. that’s sort of an ethos. the idea that he was instead banking on a left resurgence via the Green Party is incredibly funny.

yeah having ranked choice voting and proportional representation should be the absolute first thing anyone should care about and push for if we want any real multiparty system in this country

It's still pretty funny that some think the only hope for electoral leftism was a deeply entrenched Republican government for four more years minimum with a focus almost exclusively on the presidency.

If you can't even bother to organize a largely empty gesture and instead roll over like a dog for a warmongering austerity party that champions rapists, then what the gently caress is the point of your sad pathetic existence?

Joe Biden has promised to suck off Republicans for 4 years, and will then hand off the government to the Republicans for the next 8 years. You have now guaranteed 12 years of hard right Republican policy. You absolute loving dipshit.

Taintrunner is what happens when you believe decorum is an inherent evil that must absolutely never be used as a rhetorical device, even among those who share many of your other beliefs, lest your convictions about basic human rights collapse into a pile of means-tested tax credits.

Maybe we are.

It's hilarious that you think meaningless protest votes, which is apparently the entire extent of your conception of political organizing, would make any difference whatsoever.

no, precisely.

obama/biden austerity from 2008-2016 cost the democrats 1000+ seats nationwide. biden plans on recreating that success, and will suicide piledriver the democrats off the edge of a cliff. and then he will toss the keys of this turnkey tyranny to either trump or someone far more competent in 2024.

voting for howie does not slow this down, nor does threatening the vote share of the democrats. demonstrating the need for options outside the d/r duopoly is a thing to do, not the thing to do, voting third party in decent numbers is a good way to do it, but by the time you're voting on a presidential ballot it's probably too late to matter much within that election cycle :(

I spent the months between the end of the dem primary and Election Day organizing a graduate employee’s union, building a local mutual aid network from scratch, campaigning for ranked choice voting, and working on two local campaigns (one won and one lost). I didn’t mention, donate to or think about Joe Biden once and I sure as hell didn’t vote for him. this single minded focus on the presidency is the ultimate lib poo poo and it’s what happens when you’re so comfortable that you view politics as an aesthetic or self-expressive activity rather than the organization and direction of power.
