Shit libs terrified of giving up their privilege is what prevents third parties from getting any traction. You know that the status quo founded on white supremacy and capitalism provides you a certain level of comfort that you don’t want to give up and your creature comforts are more important than society as a whole. Liberalism is a poison to all movements
that’s a load of shit… you have exactly 2 options to vote for in an FPTP system, and that’s just game theory and maths… you can be RIGHTLY pissy at the system, but it’s the system you have to work within until it changes
complaining that people don’t vote third party in the US is like complaining that gravity stops you from flying around the world by just jumping: you’re right, it’d be great! but that’s just not how reality works
and blaming people who are largely pulling in the same direction as you (ie away from the far right) is counterproductive to shifting left (and let’s be clear here: we’re not talking about actual left in the US: that’s a long way off; but not far right is still further left than the racist shit sandwich you have right now), and is so straight out of the election rigging playbook that your motives are completely in question, or you’re just wilfully ignorant of how your electoral system works (but ignorance here is still hugely dangerous: this is how you get the world more trump)
Or, think about this for a moment, there currently isn’t enough support for a third parry to have any chance whatsoever at winning. If the numbers were closer, instead of what, 2-3% for independents? It might be a better argument.
But right now it’s just “There are three options. Two pounds of poop, one pound of poop, and candy. 98% of people are voting for poop. Now you can vote for candy to show your distaste for poop, but no matter what you’re getting poop. So are you gonna take the risk of two pounds winning by not giving your vote to one pound?” It’s not that complicated. I wrote it so toddlers could understand.
To be clear, I’m on the side of candy. If that needed to be said. I’m just a realist.
That isn’t here nor there. I’m not arguing over whether or not there SHOULD be support, I’m telling you the current facts of reality. We can all say candy is better for as long as we want but that doesn’t change the fact that the majority of people are shit eaters, does it?

There isn’t support because liberals would rather support fascism than equity.
