I feel sorry for Americans. The best of the 2 viable parties is a party keen on supplying a genocide, and somehow if you vote 3rd party you're more responsible than said genocide suppliers, even worse republicans, and non-voters. That's wild.
The uncomfortable reality is that you aren't gonna solve your country's problems in the voting booths. Good luck to you, genuinely.

  Until the majority of liberals in our country realize this, it's doubtful our problems will be solved at all
- 3rd party voters aren't worse non voters, and definitely are not worse than maga voters. If you honestly couldn't stomach voting for the Dems, that's your right and your choice. If you have accepted the consequences of your actions, then I can disagree with you but I don't hate you. The only ones worse than maga are the public masterbators who try to pretend like the Democrats made them do it, or how they were doing something noble, or teaching the Dems a lesson.
  I am not the type to kink shame people, but I really don't want to be part of whatever weird masochistic justice warrior public flagellation shit they are trying to get off to. I didn't and I don't consent, so they can fuck right off that shit.
  
  I mean, from an outsider point of view, it looks like people who voted a 3rd party voted for what they believed. People who voted dems voted against what they believed trying to win and then are projecting some "justice warrior" idea onto who voted what they actually wanted to vote. I rarely see someone saying they voted 3rd party, but I often see it used as a scorn by dems... I doubt people would brag about it since it basically makes people react like you: "I don't hate you" proceeds to insult an imaginary justice warrior that is supposedly voting a 3rd party lol
  
  Your lack of observation or reading comprehension doesn't negate the validity of what many of us saw and experienced, nor does reduce how gross and weird it was/is.
  Up until a couple weeks ago, I would see 3-4 posts a day were someone would try to highjack a popular post by posting ragebate aimed at Dems. Often in posts about whatever stupid shit Trump was currently doing at that moment. Or they would start their own post with something obviously intended to get people to respond. After they got someone hooked, they would pick a nonsenseical position, usually claiming that they voted 3rd party because they were too upset with the how they were trying to save the Palestinians from the murderous Dems.
  Was it a bunch of people, one or two people with multiple accounts, or maybe a group a acting in concert, I don't know. But no matter who it was, it soon became obvious that they weren't here to argue their position or try to change minds, they were just here to argue and inflame. They were obviously looking for to make people angry and get yelled at. At first it seemed like the normal trolls, but then it began to be obvious that it wasn't about just fucking with people for amusement, it was about achieving something. It was about hitting some goal that satisfied them and then they would start over again in some other post.
  I am not happy with 3rd party voters, and I strongly disagree with any arguments that they had any affect other than helping Trump win. But they put in the effort, and did their civic duty. But you are correct, those types of people wouldn't be in here bragging about being fooled, or how stupid they are. I could believe at first that they were trying alleviate some shame or guilt, but no... The ones that are gross and weird about, the ones still occasionally trying to start shit, those are the ones we all hate more than even the maga.
