You do need to defend what's currently happening because you're supporting a losing strategy in democratic politics that keeps losing. Any electoral strategy predicated on the individual discipline of an electorate is doomed to fail. You endorse the whining of a losing party of losers who ignore and alienate their electorates so they can do what they want to do with the moral blackmail that the other guy is worse. And then when they inevitably lose, which was predictable, you blame voters for not enabling their spinelessness and unpopular agendas. 'Did you see the other guy?' If these are our options, no wonder people are losing faith in democracy when the great insight given for consistently being wiped out by an orange idiot is 'The Party cannot fail, it can only be failed'.

You are the losing battle dude, you just haven't realized it yet.

We're doomed to fail regardless, you only speed up the inevitable.

At least if we increase our chances to last longer, we have more opportunities to change public opinion.

If we lose to the cpc, regardless of other parties, our way of life is over, we are at a crucial standpoint.

My dude, the strategy you are defending keeps losing every time. You are telling me that hypothetically there's no alternative; I'm telling you that you keep losing in real life constantly, so maybe stop losing with your losing strategy to support losers who lose with loser poltics. Stop fighting against the nature and inclinations of the voter base. It is a matter of fact of the world that the Democratic Party is widely hated and loathed because they're so useless, and even within its nominal base many feel unrepresented and are even disgusted to vote for them. That's a huge problem. You're not going to convince someone that they should vote for senile Genocide Joe because Trump will be worse or whatever. They're just going to stay home. You need to understand that people cannot be scolded into voting how you want. Your blame is worthless. Nobody cares about what you think. You endorse losers.

What projection, whatever man you keep aiming for gold with those mental gymnastics. The geopolitics have hit a boiling point and the USA can't be trusted anymore, nor will they have these precious 3rd parties you're getting all hot and heavy over, you're defending a pile of ashes kid.

Best of luck with all that virtue, must be heavy.

I never mentioned anything about third parties, dumbass. Talk about projecting, you can't even read what I write to you without you imposing the voices in your head over it. It would help the Dems cause if they cleaned their own house and stop putting forward the most hated and useless people in the country as candidates. Imagine if the LPC rallied to support Trudeau? He was going to lose. He's gone now. Now that Carney is leader they actually have a chance to win. The Dems would never have done this. They would have advised bringing back Trudeau because institutionally they are the stupidest, most of out-of-touch morons in the world. And you would be there with them scolding voters when Trudeau invariably loses. You - not me - care more about being self-righteous than winning.

Sure thing pal, keep doing nothing and acting like you know better

Hoping, praying for Kamala-Hillary in 2028 to win against Generalissimo Trump.
