This is why the purchase of Twitter was rushed through before Nov. 8. #VoteBlueToProtectYourRights #DemocracyIsOnTheBallot
@mssunshine I actually agree with Musk here.. Democratic president and republican congress is a far better combination then democrats on both sides. Neither party is trust worthy or ethical and both parties are extremist in nature. By having two different parties on either side it helps us meet in the middle rather than subscribe to either extremist end of the spectrum.
@freemo Our rights are being plucked away one by one, especially women's rights. We need Roe to be codified but we can't with resistance from the right. Furthermore, these MAGA election denier candidates aren't even willing to play fairly. They'll accept the results only if they win.
@mssunshine I cant argue with you about the many flaws of the republicans.. they are a horrific, extremist, and destructive bunch... the problem is for every legitimate criticism of the right there is an equally bad criticism about the left that is just as extremist.
If we are really against extremism then we should be voting third party and be donen with the two parties. However if we insist on voting for one of the two parties then at the very least keep them balanced so the extremism of both sides balance out somewhat.
@freemo @mssunshine if it were normal times, I would agree with you. But republicans are actively trying to disqualify thousands of ballots, upend the election, entrench their powers, and install rubber-stamp federal judges to hijack the judicial system. I think people don’t realize how extreme the Republican Party has become and just vote Republican because they don’t like the Dems. There’s no real leftist party in the U.S. with the Dems being elitist fucks
I cant in good conscious vote republican either, nor can i equally in good conscious vote democrat. So either I pick two evils that balance eachother out, or i pick a third party that isnt evil... luckily third party is always an option.
@freemo @mssunshine Which third party do you recommend? I do think we need at least one more dem-majority term so that they can fix the campaign financing law that the Roberts Court broke. Then, third parties will have the wherewithal to rise to public visibility
