With the dust is settling from their defeat on Tuesday, it's becoming clearer that there was some incredible malpractice going on in the Democratic party. As shown in the tweet I linked, Biden delayed dropping out even though his team knew it was going to be a complete blowout for Trump. Then, we have Harris's campaign spending over a billion dollars and still losing all of the swing states she needed to win.

For all the Democrats who would never vote Republican and would have never voted third party, are you now considering voting third party in future elections? If not, what would it take?

I think I misunderstood you. For my part, I do not put much hope these days in elections. It's just that for decades now I've been told voting third party meant throwing your vote away. This time you were wasting your vote (and a serious moral principle) to cast it for Harris. It's all just kind of astonishing to me, which is why I made the post.

Gotcha, and no problem. I've been voting for 3rd parties every election since I turned 18 in 1996, and only once has I voted for a dem (to my regret). I am more or less of the opinion that voting ain't worth much (especially in most states), but that it doesn't hurt anything either. Anyone who thought they were voting "to save democracy" in an election where fucking genocide wasn't up for debate needs to reassess their relationship to reality.

Well, genocide shouldn't be up for debate. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
