[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Democrats have a vested interest in maintaining a two-party system because it guarantees their place at the table.  This might be good for career politicians but it's not good for voters because, in the end, we don't really have a choice and democracy is just a joke.  Every year we play the same stupid game of voting for the same people and the same party.  Votes are now taken for granted because there's no viable third party.[/quote]

And has anyone done to break the stalemate, apart from swinging for the fences every four years and whining that the system is rigged?[/quote]

No, because both parties enjoy the status quo.  This thread is all about not voting third party. Both Nancy and Hillary have been vocal about "a vote for a third party is a vote for Trump" rhetoric. It's like the DNC is scared of a little competition. It's the DNC's job to convince people to vote for Biden.  Instead, it's been a campaign of why voters shouldn't vote for a third party candidate.[/quote]
This. There is very little self-awareness or willingness to think what is it about our party and our chosen candidate that people do not want to vote for them and what can we do to fix that. Instead it’s just people incessantly repeating that if you don’t vote for Biden you’re supporting Trump, destroying democracy, etc. No, it was actually your responsibility if you want my vote to put forward a solid candidate for me to choose. Instead you gave us 80 year old Joe Biden. Own the deficiencies with the candidate you decided to put forward. [/quote]
Other than Biden being old, and him having been chosen by a majority of Democratic primary voters who knew how old he was, why oh why are you singling out the party that’s actually doing a decent job? Why oh why are you both sidesing with the party that’s palling around with Putin, committing treason, overthrowing the government, crushing democracy, cheating to win, denying reality… why is that?[/quote]
Have you not seen what has happened to other elderly politicians of late? Why would I want to take the chance of a similar decline in the leader of the free world? I am also just not impressed with what he’s accomplished. It’s been a very meh presidency. The people you keep berating are not the voters who chose him. We’re not siding with the Republicans, but we are saying the Democrat nominee is terrible and that is why a vote for a 3rd candidate takes away from Biden. If Biden was such an appealing candidate you wouldn’t have to be obsessed with No Labels. But because he’s not a good candidate, here we are. [/quote]

Whatever is in the list of complaints, at the end of day it will be trump or Biden.   Trump is the one largely responsible for Biden anyway.  He was nominated to beat trump so good job Dems on that one.

Complain all you want but you still are stuck with trump or Biden.[/quote]
