Kicked off by Democrats

I am once again pointing out that liberals are more opposed to democracy than even the far right. Like, quite literally they are less likely to agree with statements like “Every person’s vote should count equally,” “Democracy is a good system,” and “Free elections are an essential feature of democracy”

I disagree. This is the opposite of what I have experienced in life. shakes head I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Which party has been working hard to keep third parties off the ballot for at least the past few election cycles?

Which party’s supporters get quite upset at the idea of someone voting third party?

I hadn’t actually thought about that but yeah, a Republican has never gotten mad at me for voting third party

Well there was some complaining about libertarian voters costing Trump some states in 2020 IIRC.

I mean, this isn’t a matter of opinion, this is based on how leftists, liberals, and right-wingers answered questions when polled.

An important note to read that and not come back and say something stupid, “liberal” can be a confusing term with multiple meanings. When I say “liberal” and NYT says “centrist” we mean the same thing.

Have you considered that you’re a rube who will continue to believe total falsehoods even when evidence to the contrary smacks you in the face

Well considering that it's 2024 and you're still using role-playing asterisks maybe it's either because you're young or a sentient IRC channel.
