Too soon, the reductionist take isn't going to be funny if trump gets to do a fascism.

People keep making these memes and telling people not to vote like there isn't a fucking maniac with a much worse plan for the U.S than anything Biden could ever do.
We should keep voting-in democrats and force them to present younger candidates. Letting Trump win is definitely not going to get you what you want, and the democrats aren't "learning" anything when you don't vote.
People need to protest after electing these idiots. There has to be a name for how tame America is at protesting things like healthcare and corruption, while instead fighting each other of BLM and other acronyms.
no one is saying don't vote
democrats aren't "learning" anything when you don't vote.
The Democrats will learn that people will vote them in regardless of whether they run a wet sock of a candidate or a true progressive because the alternative is worse.
Nah. If they don't vote, Democrats will think "oh, that demographic doesn't vote. They can be ignored, like the youth" and would drift further right in order to attract votes from people who actually vote.

That is the point of these. There is a high chance these posters are foreign propaganda.
It's interesting how there is no philosophical difference between certain foreign nations and the American right. They are both threatened by American democracy.
Ah yes god forbid people want to say "my vote is worth something, you can't use it for genocide".
3 out of 5 of these elections had Donald Trump as the opposing candidate, there was no other candidate worth voting for given the stakes at play, that’s just a consequence of how our system has been structured. I’d love to vote 3rd party (and have in the past), but if it helps throw the presidency to the opposition, then that doesn’t really help anything.
If you really want to get 3rd party candidates in, start at the local level and build them from the ground up.
And vote in every election! Your apathy is their goal. They don't outnumber us, so they want people to be too disenchanted, overwhelmed, confused, and scared to try to vote against them in high enough numbers. Shitty memes like this one help that cause. Without labels, progressive policies typically get 60-80% support in polls.
The only way to make 3rd party a realistic option is if we switch to a different voting style than FPTP
I just want to know why the fuck 3rd party candidates are never at the major public debates. Everyone who is going to be on the ballot should get some time to speak on a big national stage like that.

And somehow trump is worse than all of them combined. Go figure.
Reminder that if everyone in the next election votes Democrat we’d have way more liberal candidates in the one following it.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
I though we were all voting for Taylor Swift this time?
Ah yes, the time when Americans lose any pressure or influence they may have on the actions of their president... because "Trump is badder".
What a low bar.
proud to vote for Hillary and Joe.. we're lucky they offered to serve..
the only clowns are the ones who don't realize it
