And it will happen again and again since the DNC and DGA fund fringe GOP candidates as an ongoing tactic. But that unhappy fact will take a few more election cycles before the non-political folk catch on to the grift.
The new existence of this fringe took everyone left of Lindsey Graham by surprise in 2016. It's not conspiracies all the way down. These people exist and the sooner we realize the center is not where we imagined it was the sooner we can get on with governing and protecting the whole country and not just the little blue parts that like us.
Uh, no dude, i'm talking about an existing tactic in use by the Democratic party, which you can find editorials on in like Newsweek n' shit. Dems are doing this in the open, as it is not illegal.
I'm not deep webbin' dawg, you are simply lacking info. Read something first. Then you are allowed an opinion.
Didn't read it? Stop being a waste of everyone's time
EDIT: clarity, grammar, extra "esteem"
I don't disagree with that, all I'm saying is almost 50% of America really is ready to risk tearing it all down and the truth is only a small number of them would be willing to vote Democrat under any circumstances. For both Democrats and center Republicans, divide and conquer seems the only available strategy. A true third party is the hope of many, but I don't think they could be left of Biden, and the space on the right is a madhouse. They'd have to basically fall from space in a shower of glory to cut through the mud at this point
I don't often say this, (cuz what's the point?) but i'm one of those who has given up on voting Dem. I voted for joe, knowing i hated him in '20. My vote was my parting gift to the party after being a donating member for ~20 years.
I don't advocate for others to give up, but after many years of their tomfoolery and lies, the only path forward is to find that third party and start voting for it. Is it a great plan?
No. It's not even an ok plan. but its the one I'm rolling with, cuz why would i vote for a party who would rather entreat and berate than earn? I cannot tell you how much rage i feel inside at their sounding the alarm when i watched them start the fire
I don't blame you. I agree neither party really wants the things I think we desperately need.
Hell, a Democrat published a book a few years ago about how she did exactly that to win an election. And then she lost to that same nutjob in the very next election!
