The <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=Dems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dems</span></a> ignored the fact that the working people were suffering and didn't blame the people who were causing the suffering, the <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=billionaires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>billionaires</span></a> , because they were disconnected and it would piss off their rich donors. So <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> told them they were suffering and it was the immigrants who were making them suffer. Next time we have to tell that story.<br><a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=Workingfamiliesparty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Workingfamiliesparty</span></a> is the most responsible of the third parties. They support people in <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=primaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>primaries</span></a> and run where ever they aren't going to split the vote. I actually got to vote for 2 WFP members last year for at-large city counsel, and got to vote one in in the general. I didn't see a single green or <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=democraticSocialist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democraticSocialist</span></a> run where they could have.<br>I feel WFP is the best option we have to retake the nation next time, using the big tent when they need to, but then being a smaller tent when they don't have to. If the other 3rd parties could do this and make pushing for <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=rankedchoicevoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rankedchoicevoting</span></a> we wouldn't need this strategy, but somehow <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=Elon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Elon</span></a> convinced enough idiots that 3rd parties sucked and voted against RCV In 4 states this year that could have said goodbye the the two party system for good, and Alaska may lose it too. I don't want to hear a single person who didn't vote voted against RCV to ever bitch about the 2 party system again. You had your chance and you shot yourself in the foot.
