The popular vote is ACTUAL VOTERS. That means ACTUAL VOTERS didn't like him enough for him to win the primaries. Christ. It's 2026. Let the Bernie thing go. I liked him too. I still like him. Doesn't mean he's popular with America as a whole. Now take what I just said and apply it to socialism. It ain't gonna fly in America yet. Not gonna happen.

Vote against the worst probable outcome. The idea of democracy is consensus. If your alternative doesn't reach consensus, it's just a spoiler against the less bad option. If we had ranked choice voting it would be a different story, but we don't, so it isn't. How many times does a Republican have to win before you get it? Vote strategically, and find your alternatives outside the election. Protest voting is impotent posturing that risks the worst outcome with literally no material benefit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RockBottom@feddit.org [S] 0 points 4 days ago (1 child) I'm just glad I live in a country with multiple voting options. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago (1 child) Yeah that would be nice.
