You know, some people have some sort of nuanced opinions instead of just picking a colour. Maybe if everything weren’t such a fucking battle between the 51% and the 49%, maybe you wouldn’t end up with the least capable candidates from either side.
Sure. I have a more nuanced opinion too. The fact is that we have two conservative parties, but there’s a lot of good options to the left. A centrist (in the US) has seen everything that’s been done by the conservatives and still somehow isn’t further left (or right if you agree with the crazy shit) of our conservative parties. There’s plenty of nuance to be had, but it isn’t in the center of the two parties.
I know people who only admit to voting Republican because they make enough money to have a vested interest in Republican tax cuts. Get a couple glasses of wine into those people and they’ll start exposing their “nuanced opinions” like how much they hate the gays.
If your nuanced opinions still motivate you to vote republican, you’re still a piece of shit.
The Left had four years to put Bernie on the ballot. I contributed to him myself. We’re heading into 2024 and the GOP’s top candidate is still Trump. Who is your alternative to Biden?
And if someone votes anything else than blue or red, they’re throwing away their vote right?
As long as the US election system is the way that it is, then yes it is an undisputed fact that voting for third party is the same as throwing your vote away. It is a shitty system and it is in desperate need for a change, but it doesn’t make it less true.
It’s worse than throwing your vote away. It’s a shadow vote for the most popular candidate who is most diametrically opposite from your views, in that it is taking a potential vote away from the most popular candidate who is closer than them. It’s letting perfect get in the way of better.
I’m pretty sure this guy is not a Democrat just because he talks about diversity. I don’t know many anti-welfare Democrats who talk about fat welfare queens. That’s pretty antithetical to the sort of things the party wants and very on-point for Republicans.
“Centrist” aka “I’ll still vote for racist fascist misogynists instead of anyone else”. Fuck off!
P.S. And he thinks welfare is a problem like some blubbering Reganite reject.
Really, I think centrist normally just means totally uninformed. They’ve buried their head in the sand so they don’t realize what’s wrong.
Centrist means you’re too embarrassed to admit you’re a republican.

When did he say he votes republican? And I think his criticism of welfare is that it’s run inefficiently, not that it should be abolished

You’re the one who is blinded by ideology.
The GOP in the US literally tried to overthrow the Constitution in 2020, and hasn’t said they won’t do it in 2024.
If the choice is between the Dems and some magical third party who is going to pop up out of nowhere, hell yes I’m voting Blue no matter who.

Bring us a rational Republican and we’d have a choice to make. As of now it’s democracy vs fascism. Easy choice
Go ahead and get froggy in 2024, FAFO if you must
Last ‘rational Republican’ candidate was Eisenhower, and he was considered too Left for Bill Buckley, who championed Reagan.

So, you can’t answer the one question that actually matters. Who, if not Biden?
Still have the same house and senate.

Non-action is a form of action. You still contribute either way. It’s either with or without your consent.
Your conscience, and that’s just more proof you’re dumb.
