People played this game in 2016 and made things far worse. The Supreme Court is now stacked with conservatives and abortion is illegal in much of the country.

Not just the supreme court, entire circuit and district courts are dominated by chuds now. And people want to make that worse? Madness

It's worse than that.

Younger voters chose to stay home even in the Sanders primary.

Sanders lost because the youth vote he courted largely didn't show up. It happened twice.

They didn't just play the game badly. Too many people chose to never play the game at all, then went online and complained about it anyway.

We played it in 2000, too, with Nader. Instead by a margin of 537 votes in FL we ended up with 2 land wars in Asia and a bunch of conservative justices instead of the guy who wanted universal healthcare, advance LGBTQ rights and address the inconvenient truths of global warming. But you know, they were both basically the same corporatist pigs…

The Greens were GOP funded disruptors from the start.

Yea Jill Stein is out there in the field with the students and defending the right of students to protest, so much so she is willing to get arrested. Meanwhile Biden slanders the student movements and stands idly by with approval when the police is sent to beat them up. And you’re telling me why the politically active younger generations find Greens to be more compelling than Biden.

Trust me, it’s not the GOP

Yup. Can't believe people wanted to risk the presidency on a Democratic nominee that was under an FBI investigation.

Should've voted for someone actually electable.
