Those % are very much bullshit but I support the message. Vote out the fascist party.

I'm not really understand the "70%" part. Can't they just run again next election? Why would they be "out"?

In other words, if 70% of the population consistently voted, they would have 0 chance

Because when enough people votes for something that is not the republican party, the balance of power can change and they "risk" getting to third place, where they are not relevant anymore.

It’s an exaggeration. They probably mean “the current Republican Party” won’t exist anymore, because they’ll have to restructure their whole party line if they want to appeal to more voters.

We are assuming they would die of shame.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

this is unlikely because they’re incapable of feeling shame

Hahahaha oh man, imagine if that were even remotely possible
