Really tired of “both sides bad.” Political change should not be moving fast and breaking things. Right now we have a hole to dig out from. We need to get to the point where we can vote for the people we really want. By not voting you say that everything is fine and you are okay with the status quo. Vote for the change we need right now. Do not let our future slip away.

This is the most political-history ignorant comment I’ve read in a very long time.

“We need to vote for change and to dig ourselves out from this hole!” -Proceeds to vote for Democrats, who change nothing, and did the whole deeper. "Oh well, my memory will have reset long before the next election comes around, so we can do it all again!

Precisely. We are not in a place where it is possible to make a different choice. Other countries seem to not understand it - do you know how massive our country is? How inconsistent our education is? How divided we are? We are not, under any circumstance, uniting half of the country in voting 3rd party, especially not now when tensions are so high. We have to get past the point where being picky dooms us to the greater of two evils. Should it work this way? Of course not. Should we try to change this stupid two party bullshit? Absolutely…but not right now. Right now, there is too much at stake.

Political change should not be moving fast and breaking things. It should absolutely 100% be that when the alternative is genocide and fascism.

The only reason you wouldn’t want to break things right now means you still think there is good in the system. The system is working as intended and absolutely needs to be broken so something better can be made.

Genuinly curious. With your plan to vote for the democrats to dig out of the hole the US has dug itself, how will you be able to vote for the party that you want to vote for later?
