The point is that we can’t count on neo-liberals to do the right thing, they’re complicit in all this. So the Dems as a whole aren’t a party we can rely on until we primary them out.
Objectively wrong because there were third party candidates already on the ballot! How could you say they would’ve won when they already were running and lost?! “Oh they would’ve won if they were there” They were there! [These are they!](Third-party and independent candidates for the 2024 United States presidential election - Wikipedia https://share.google/xcOuOQvNZvwLprps9)
I didn’t say they would’ve won, stop moving goal posts.
I said they couldn’t have lost more than Kamala did. Because it was a binary thing on three counts?
Did she win the Presidency? No.
Did she keep the Senate? No.
Did she win the House? No.
No matter what you think of Claudia De La Cruz or Jill Stein, it’s just a simple fact neither one of them could have given a worse outcome than that one. And given the resources Kamala had, that’s particularly pathetic.
Ok so with a winner takes all election, a loser is a loser no matter how many votes they get. Sure. I get that.
But there’s still more nuance to that. If you got to choose between something that has 49% of a chance of winning or .01% chance of winning, you’d go with the 49%, right? That’s a better chance of keeping the Republicans from winning.
Don’t get me wrong, Democrats suck ass, and are spineless cowards. But with the system we have now, and had at the last election, they had a better chance of defeating Republicans than the socialist party of America or the Green party.
OK, we fucking know, so? We should let the Nazi’s win because the Democrats are spineless capitalists?

Oh damn you right we should’ve voted for the magical third party that definitely would’ve won
No third party candidate could have lost as bad as Kamala did. Presidency and both Houses.

So are you saying that the third party candidates would’ve won given her resources and backing?
I’m saying it’s literally impossible for them to have performed worse.
So talking about how third party candidates “can’t win” is nonsense, since the Democrats apparently can’t win either.
