#third party voting

[creature-wizard]

Whatever happens, two things remain true: 1. Trump might be distancing himself from Project 2025, but his Agenda 47, which is on his website, is basically the same thing. 2. Third party voting is useless without ranked choice voting; it's mathematically impossible to elect a third party candidate. DO NOT SPLIT THE VOTE.

if you even think about voting third party fuck you, shut the fuck up, vote blue. I am not the first to say this but in America there is no fucking choice other than red or blue. Vote blue. Vote blue, or human rights are fucked. Being genuinely serious. If Trump or some other republican clown gets into office we all might as well throw in the towel for all the basic rights and quality of life we'll get.

"oh but Kamala's a cop!" I am being so serious when I say I couldn't care less when the alternative is forced detransition. Get your head out of your ass and stop playing pretend and acting like there's a feasible choice other than democrats, because there fucking isn't. Transition changed my life for the better, and I am facing the possibility of having to throw that all away because some pretentious fucks decided to split the damn vote more JUST for Trump to be elected. I don't care if I'm in a blue state, because I have enough brain cells and basic decency to see that not everyone IS; if you want to gamble the lives of queer people and anyone who isn't a cishet white male just for a huff of moral superiority, I genuinely hate you. It fills me with so much fucking rage that people can just pretend their precious third option will do SHIT. IT WON'T.

Fucking GOD. Anyways, this has been a PSA to vote blue or you have blood on your hands. :3

Well, RFK Jr. is all but admitting his campaign was a ploy to help Trump win, Republican operatives are committing fraud to get Cornel West on the ballot in Arizona, Jill Stein is openly talking up her genuine love for Vladimir Putin, and the Libertarian Party is such a wreck that my most openly libertarian friend has stepped back from their organization.

Is it time to admit that there is no genuine third-party option in America anymore?

Have you heard about the nonbinary third party presidential candidate Jasmine Sherman and their indigenous vice presidential candidate partner Tanda Blubear?

I have! Jasmine Sherman is one of the only candidates (for any office, not just president) I've seen that still cares about covid.

Here's one of their tiktoks about their platform for anyone who isn't already familiar!

So as of the very disappointing news that we've all received (so far) I want to make it clear that if you voted for Trump or third-party, I don't want you to interact with my account.

In fact, go fuck yourself. This is has NOTHING to do with politics, but you willingly voted for a convicted felon who hates women and queer people all because you couldn't stand the idea of a black woman being the president.

Once again, America proves how much it hates women.

To those who voted blue, thank you for not choosing gas prices and moral superiority <3 I'm sorry things turned this way, but we still have a few days before things are official. Don't give up! ꒰⁠⑅⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠꒱⁠˖⁠♡

Too many people took surviving Trump’s first term for granted.

[smoreboi]

so i just wanna complain for a second. my dad is a right leaning centrist. he, thankfully, is completely against trump being in office. he votes third party republican.

i know leading up to this election i would make jokes about voting for a third party. i did not tho, because im not blind to how fucked our government is, and i would rather a vote go to damage control than just be wasted.

if you voted third party and are now upset with the results, im gonna say that’s kinda on you. if you can’t forget your pride for 2 minutes and vote for someone you kinda don’t like to stop someone you really don’t like from taking office, just. unfollow me actually.

these results have me terrified for my and my friends actual lives! i have friends that are Haitian, i and most of my friends are queer/gay/trans/etc., im afab and so are a good amount of my friends, and we’re all in danger with this man as president. maybe that isn’t worth shit to you, maybe you actually don’t care. In which case, actually just. identify yourself so I can block you. because that’s kinda fucked imo

i voted kamala because i believe in damage control. why couldn’t you
