    It’s funny, because Republicans are running the exact same propaganda on the reverse.

    There’s a Ben Garrison cartoon floating around that insinuates not voting for Trump is the same as murdering babies.

    These candidates seem to stand for nothing. At least Obama and Biden lied to us about DC Statehood and closing Gitmo and student debt relief. Bush pretended to care about pro-business immigration reform and privatizing social security. Even Trump had “The Wall that Mexico will pay for”.

    I’ve got no idea what Trump or Harris are actually campaigning on this year other than to say they aren’t the other person on the ballot. Even RFK is in on the act, having folded his campaign because he doesn’t want to upset MAGA voters.

      Yeah there’s never been a better time to vote for a third party. I think we can move past this duopoly superstructure as long as we keep resisting. I don’t think the millenials or zoomers are as gullible as the boomers. But maybe I am being irrationally optimistic.

        Never been a better time? If you’re in a swing state I want you to remember these words if Trump gets elected again. The horrorshow that will follow will give you time to contemplate. Most of us aren’t voting for Harris on her policy, we’re doing harm reduction.

        Explain it to the women in your life.

          Cool, thanks for assuming the women in my life think I’m throwing them under the bus. I love your inclusive outlook.

        I don’t envy the folks who will be called fascist for supporting Jill Stein or Chase Oliver.

        I don’t think the millenials or zoomers are as gullible as the boomers.

        The Boomers gave us Ralph Nader, a genuinely honest and respectable man with a progressive agenda and the success record to back it up.

        Unfortunately, the Boomers also crucified him for daring to run a national campaign.

        I wish we could find another Nader - a guy who would make corrupt shits in Congress visibly shake when he called them out on their bullshit. I don’t think we’ve got anyone like that running today, sadly.

          Yeah I totally agree. I listen to Ralph’s radio show, and he’s still kicking. As sharp as ever. But we could use another one that’s 50 years younger.
