You could have voted for your next door neighbor too and told yourself you were voting against genocide, but you'd be wrong then too.

You didn't support the third party's chances of winning because there was no way that was going to ever happen in this election. Elections aren't about voting for candidates as much as they are voting for outcomes.

The word liberal is not the insult you think it is.

Liberal is definitely an insult. It means having no morals or ethics or inherent beliefs and just voting blue no matter who, no matter who they genocide. It’s pathetic.

How’s chastising voters for voting wrong working out for you? You ready to lose 2028 too?

If you look at the dictionary definition, it means pretty much exactly the opposite of what you said. Also, the D party is not highly aligned with the definition of liberal, so you're also wrong about it meaning always voting blue.

The democrat party gave up on democracy and traditional liberalism after they lost in a landslide to Reagan.

Then why do you claim that liberal means blindly voting D no matter what? Your statements don't seem consistent.

Both can be true when we take into account propaganda!

The dems run on “liberal” and “progressive” ideas and immediately run to the right as soon as they’re elected. Although I would argue part of liberalism they’ve abandoned is free speech rights.

Leftists call this shit out for what it is, and liberals eat up the propaganda and then gleefully overlook a genocide and vote blue no matter who, smugly insulting anyone who doesn’t do the same as voting wrong.
