He’ll win next year +10.

These people are angry now but they hate Democrats too much to vote for them.

See that was tried last year in Nebraska for a senate seat, and the unpopular Republican still won.

Y’all think it’s easy. That a bunch of white rural folks are gonna run to some magic progressive candidate as long as they aren’t a democrat.

90% of Nebraskans would rather shoot Bernie than vote for him.

I've seen this a lot lately and I don't see how people really think an Independent has good shot at anything right now. We are so insanely and annoyingly divided right now that many feel like they absolutely have to be on one side or the other. The thought of a candidate that's not team red or team blue will make most people shit their pants. At this point a vote for an independent is nothing more than just a vote for whoever is your opposition party.

Of course this could easily change if we didn't have first past the polls voting but heaven forbid we even look down that blasphemous road.

messaging packaged for them ro agree to.

This messaging would have to read "I'm gonna put everything back where it belongs: gays back in the closet, blacks back on the plantations, immigrants back in the jungle, and women back in the kitchen."

They hate others, period. They hate whoever their fascist media diet tells them to hate. They would rather burn the country to the ground than to accept that a minority somewhere gets the same privilege that they do. This is the only thing they vote on.

Are democrats planning to tax the rich? Also no? Then why bring them into the picture?

Democrats brought you here. Don’t you see it?

Decades of neglecting problems and only getting richer, promising some fucking patches instead of a much needed reform in basically every aspect of peoples lives. They were not there to save you from fascism, they didn’t and don’t give a fuck. They got rich and old and that’s all that matters. Now you get to be governed by an idiot and then die of hunger or a climate disaster and they couldn’t literally care less.

What I see is someone that doesn’t care who gets elected and is part of the problem.

Democrats are the reason Trump got elected? Are you for real?

Are there any laws in the States that prevent additional political parties to stand in elections, beyond the basic two flavours?

@[email protected] And then they'll go and vote for Trump again in 2028. This outrage at the rich won't survive contact with Fox News tonight, let alone next election cycle.
