if Democrats win and do nothing, do we still have to vote for them in 2028?

The majority of 3rd party voters are Libertarian so this doesn’t really check out. Eliminating voting for 3rd parties would mostly end up a net Republican advantage. If you goal was to disempower the Republican Party it’d be better to normalize 3rd party voting as a concept

“vote for my guy your rights mean nothing” if this is the scenario then as unfortunate as it is this is the people voting. if my vote matters then it should go to who i want it to and if it doesn’t matter then i can vote for who i want

a more diverse candidate pool would offer far stronger candidates. the system you’ve been taught is the only way forward is designed to be such, and it has held society down for long enough.

Notice how it would have been a tie if Mr. Strawman had voted for the dems (which in practice means the republican probably wins anyway), also this is not how voting works. In reality, even if this oversimplification were correct, there would be right wing third party voters who would “take votes away” from the red team.

You’re right, it doesn’t work this way in reality. In reality, there’s more than just 1 dipshit who protest votes and ends up with the worse option. Yay!

I am, but that’s besides the point. The point is there’s 2 viable options and, despite neither being what I want, I’m going to vote for the one that causes less harm.
