I mentioned that I voted, and they naturally asked me who I voted for. I said, "De la Cruz. Third party."

"Sorry, I didn't quite catch that?", one of them said, and the whole group looked at me a bit puzzled โ€” so I reiterated, "De la Cruz, a third-party candidate."

"...Wait, there's a *THIRD* party?"

you won't be happy if Trump gets in and starts gunning for you for real, even if Kamala was also an American president and brought some killing to the table as they tend to do

If you understand that both parties are actively dangerous to us, why would we support either?

It can still get worse, and I wish you wouldn't help make it worse while smugly congratulating yourself on not being willing to engage with anyone who doesn't want it to be worse.

Do some material analysis. Have the Dems and Reps ever not been in lock-step when it comes to anticommunism and Imperialism?

I like how you all assume I don't have queer or vulnerable people in my circle. I do. I might be vulnerable, too. You definitely might. The idea of laughing at someone who's trying to protect themselves and the people around them, because they don't have the same pig ballsacks queued up to send to anyone who tries to talk sense into them, is distasteful to me, also.

We believe that voting Dem is not a meaningful way to protect ourselves, you haven't disproven that, just handwaved it away, mainly he-laughed

You might have a point that I shouldn't come right away with smug hostility. But, honestly, I don't know how else I could approach a conversation with this grouping.

You could start by asking us why we believe what we believe. Hexbear is very down to Earth, you can ask questions without coming out swinging.

Have fun with your chosen outcome. I hope it brings you good things. Good luck.

You could join us. You already said you are starting to organize, why not join FRSO or PSL?
