Party for socialism and liberation. They’re running Claudia de la Cruz this go round.

As someone who voted 3rd party in 2016, I very much regret it. It was a wasted vote and helped Trump get in office. The very same thing can happen again. Don't get me wrong, I hate that Biden is the candidate. I hated it in 2020 as well. The Democratic party is a joke when it comes to putting up candidates. Until we aren't a two party system, we have to vote for the lesser of two evils with a plausible chance of winning. If not and Trump wins again, we will only move backwards again. It felt like we took two steps backwards and a half step forward.

How we can generate change is by starting at the local level. Ranked choice voting has already begun at many local level elections. We need to campaign for this and for candidates that can make that happen.

I voted Democrat in 2020 and I very much regret it.

May I ask why? Is it for a single reason or multiple?

Because he turned out to be a genocidal ghoul

[–] Shaggy1050@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

So what would you rather instead? A combo of fascist and genocidal?

[–] juicy@lemmy.today -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You're happy with Genocide Joe?

Clearly I'm not if you read my original post. But it seems you don't want to have an actual conversation on the matter.

Sorry, I thought we were asking dumb rhetorical questions we already know the answer to.
