Hey, real quick…
Where are those third party candidates now? I’m curious because from where I sit, and from factual reality-
They only show up every four years wanting to get elected. In-between elections, they don’t to jack shit any more than anyone else. So….
What good reason does anyone have to believe that a 3rd party candidate is worth their word when they won’t walk-the-walk when they’re needed.
& without them, people taking your ignorant opinions, we have ‘The Crazy Don’ & this Livable Earth & All Living Beings, including us, head towards extinction!
What exactly are your Democrats doing besides sitting on their arse waiting for reelection also that you're so readily excited to denounce 3rd parties?
Edit: oh just downvotes, nothing to add? I thought as much.
They’re at least in the fray, as ineffective as they are, they’ve standing to be counted, unlike your do-nothing 3rd party ghosts.
And I only just downvoted you now when I saw your predictable response. Looks like yours is not the popular opinion here.
LOL, read previous & cannot argue with post.
Are they though? They are just as beholden to the oligarchy as their opponents. From what I've seen it's just words from people like Newsome who is problematic as all fuck, and my home governor Pritzker who is a billionaire himself. Granted I'm happy and privileged to live in a blue state the nonresponse from officials in Minnesota proves they are not in the fray. And the 3rd party ghosts don't have any sway because no one voted for them as representatives! It's like some people are telling the public they are unviable.
There are hundreds of Democratic representatives and yet the only ones that are close to moving are people like Sanders or Cortez in Congress who I doubt would even align with the conservative liberal party if it wasn't an unspoken requirement because of people like you.
If the vote count during the reopening of the government during the shut down didn't show you these are people seeking safe votes for potential reelection I don't know what else to tell ya.
Again, point out to me a single 3rd party candidate that has vocally stood against the bullshit happening to everyone as a result of trump’s administration.
They are nowhere to be seen. Vapor. Absent.
As I said… They only show up to try and get elected every four years, and disappear when they lose. They cannot be trusted to do the right thing when it’s needed they cannot be trusted to even be there when they’re needed.
They’re unelectable. And that is why no one will ever take them seriously.
Responding more to your profile page than this particular comment:
Please say something that wouldn't be said by someone trying to keep Americans in despair and believing themselves powerless to change the situation.
Like both of these parties are doing only for greater profits for The Rich-Super Rich!
