    And you americans, go out there and vote Democrat, you can do politics in third parties later if you have a country left after the election.

      And you americans, go out there and vote Democrat*, you can do politics in third parties later if you have a country left after the election.

      *Vote as far left as possible in the Democrat primaries too or it’s all for nothing.

        It’s true, but try this:

        • defeat the bigger evil first
        • then defeat the smaller evil
        • ???
        • communism (or whatever it is you want)

            I agree that democrats (as they exist now) are a bad party. However, the US system is broken in a way that disadvantages third parties. If you vote for a 3rd party that is left of the Democrats (or don’t vote at all), you split the vote and Trump wins again. I think the US is in a bind, but the best way out is to vote Dem and turf corporate/zionist Dems like Schumer in the primaries. It will take time, but it will work.

            Some people on Lemmy have been using “both parties bad” rhetoric to discourage people from voting for the Democrats, which only benefits Trump and his gang. Your post probably got associated with that rhetorical strategy.
