    As a citizen, I am working on building support for third-party candidates who are outside of the Democrat-Republican Duopoly (which is really just a Monopoly).

    Cool, you do realize that voting against fascism in this election doesn’t disable you from doing that, right? You… you do realize that a fascist getting in power will make building that support harder, right?

    … right…?

    I don’t care if it’s realistic. It’s the only option I see.

    This is the equivalent of ‘thoughts and prayers’. May not be realistic, but boy does it make you feel like you’re keeping your hands clean. I mean, ignore the hundreds of thousands of people who are going to die in various horrible ways because of your inaction, at least you didn’t have to make a choice. That would truly be terrible.

      Tens of thousands of men, women, and children are dying right now, and your guy is supporting it.

      And I am making a choice. I’m choosing third-party.

        Thanks for affirming that you still don’t understand the trolley problem.

        And I am making a choice. I’m choosing third-party.

        Keep giving out those thoughts and prayers to help the fascists. There’s not much difference between you and them.
