Only Republican incompetence (which is as assured as anything) can help the Democrats from screwing themselves time and time again. It's the saddest game of ping pong ever.
Conservatives being utterly terrified of people who do shit jobs nobody else will work for little money is so funny. You guys are a caricature.Foo wrote:I heard they even tried to stop an illegal immigrant from voting! *gasp*Headhunter wrote:The smaller the voting base, the better chance of Republicans winning. They do whatever it takes to keep that base as small as possible. Not even getting into the gerrymandering shenanigans that have almost exclusively benefitted them in recent years.
How dare they!

No, I'm not expecting anything from Republicans. They are worms.Tiggnutz wrote:Are you expecting a mutiny?Headhunter wrote:So they're gutless at best.Tiggnutz wrote:All but a few Republicans hate Trump he's tried very hard to piss away a great opportunity his clownish antics have been a constant headache for themHeadhunter wrote:Really, conservatism is dead.

I'd have rather voted for them than individuals like Gore, Kerry, Obama, or Clinton without hesitation or doubt.Headhunter wrote:Ralph Nader and Jill Stein were really helpful to the cause.
And you also understand the mechanism of a two party system.Jigsaw wrote:I love the idea that far-left individuals who vote third party "don't seem to know" we're "helping" Republicans.
Believe me, every Democratic jackass, as soon as they hear we didn't vote for Clinton, gets on our asses about it and doesn't shut up. We know damn well what Democratic-supporting idiots think.
And you're comfortable with the consequences of that? So what are you complaining about?Jigsaw wrote:I'd have rather voted for them than individuals like Gore, Kerry, Obama, or Clinton without hesitation or doubt.Headhunter wrote:Ralph Nader and Jill Stein were really helpful to the cause.
"Helping Republicans" isn't how I see voting third party at all. That is a slant you are taking.Headhunter wrote:And you also understand the mechanism of a two party system.Jigsaw wrote:I love the idea that far-left individuals who vote third party "don't seem to know" we're "helping" Republicans.

So what are you calling bullshit on? I'm just laying out hard truths. You help Republicans. It is what it is. How comfortable you are with it is between you and your conscience.
The night that Hillary Clinton lost was, as a leftist, perhaps one of the best nights of my life. So I am indeed entirely comfortable with it.Headhunter wrote:And you're comfortable with the consequences of that?

It's because it's non-sense, Jiggy. You keep sticking to your principles and tell Headward to shut it.Jigsaw wrote:"Helping Republicans" isn't how I see voting third party at all.

The truth is I am voting for leftist third party candidates. The truth is I dislike both Democrats and Republicans. The truth is that neither party runs candidates I have any interest in supporting.
And in your eyes, just because I am not voting for Democrats, I'm "helping Republicans."
That may be how you see it, but I do not accept that as truth.
Jig, I'm a pragmatist, not an idealist. Two parties matter. If you're taking away a vote for one, you essentially help the other. Since Republicans rely on low turnouts, your vote is as good as not showing up. You can spin it however you want, those are the consequences. 99.9% of Americans don't care who Joe Blow Socialist is, or Larry Libertarian or whoever.Jigsaw wrote:"Helping Republicans" isn't how I see voting third party at all.

Again, you can spin it however you want as an idealist. I am just stating the large scale consequences. You help Republicans. Cool. When I voted Libertarian, I helped Democrats.

I'm complaining about how you see it purely as helping Republicans without addressing the fact that we, on the far-left, have no more interest in helping Republicans into office than we do Democrats.
