    Okay I’ll just say: Y’all deserve Trump. Seriously. If this community is even remotely representative of politically active democrats then y’all had it coming. Why is it that when I’m representing a viewpoint that’s not considered here everyone’s kneejerk reaction is to dismiss that viewpoint and shoot the messenger? No matter how you feel about it the fact that there are people who think that and the fact that they have valid reasons for thinking that remains. Arguing with me about their opinions changes nothing, and neither does mocking them.

      Some of us attempt to take reality on reality’s terms, rather than pretend we have national ranked choice voting. The only signal people are sending by voting for a third-party presidential candidate is that they are easily fooled into voting against their own interests. Feel free to organize for your preferred alternative during primaries and local elections, and know that the Republican party is not going implement RCV or give one single fuck about Netanyahu continuing his genocide.

      Guess what, whatever country you live in will ABSOLUTELY be impacted if Trump becomes president. Unless you’re in Russia, Iran, or N Korea, it’ll most likely be a negative impact.
