Also is there a chance we could never talk about third parties again. Do people who want democrats to win need to spend a campaign getting snooty about irrelevant third party voters

I’m curious what your take on third parties are? Not trying to sound aggressive or anything, but I know the two-party system is failing us and I wanted to know your thoughts on this
they always were. even at the highest they only accounted for 5 million voters. the 40%+ nonvoters are also nearly unmovable and neither camp is predictably more democrat than republican or v/v. so the losing party just shifts the blame to that ambiguous sphere of nonfactors.
believe it or not, there was a lot of good done by the administration on unions, ukraine, and general protections for LGBT folk, why wouldn't folk put any focus on that?
that seems to always be ignored so suddenly no one knows about it when voting
Yep, you got it. The Democrats are actually benevolent and really competent at governing. If only 40% of Americans weren't taken in by those doom-and-gloom naysayers on the internet Kamala would've won.
you think you're joking, but yeah it would've been productive to focus on the positives and reframe the negatives as comparitive to republicans than make up a "they're both evil" oversimplified slop-fest
what does that even say, it implies something that isn't even true

we *do* need to address the rhetoric that keeps coming from those camps, tho, since that shit does depress turnout like crazy
