    i feel like dems not giving people a good reason to go and vote beyond browbeating and fearmongering is a more effective form of suppression. i feel like tying the millstone of neoliberalism around the party's neck and marching it into the ocean is how right wing extremism has taken hold of the country.

      Liberals ceding complete control of all important shit to conservatives back in 2008 when they had a supermajority/lib president and then again in 2020 with a majority and lib president is a far more effective means of 'voter suppression' then anything leftists have ever done in this hellpit

      Rule of the 21st century: Every year is 2016.

      CHUDs are seeing a new golden age of conservatism, and liberals want to tell you that you only have two options and stop asking for more. Oh, and Gamergate will be brought up at least once every three months whether it be CHUDs using it as a reminder that they won all the culture wars, or libs trying to say we're no different than the GOP for whatever reason.

          When the heat death of the universe comes - imagine that the last, living intelligent life form is a liberal - the final thought of all creation will be "Hillary Clinton won the popular vote btw…"

      And they won't do anything else. It's not "Vote, and". It's just Vote. Vote Vote Vote. That is the beginning and the end of political action.

    So, let's do what Alaska did and introduce ranked choice voting to make this a non-issue. Right?

    Right?

    im told by republicans that a 3rd party vote is a vote for the dems

    im told by democrats that a 3rd party vote is a vote for the gop

    the way i see it is a 3rd party vote is like 3 votes. so its not voter suppression its actually voter fraud which is cool and good

    Hot take that might make the liberals mad; this is voter suppression. Making people believe that there is never any way to achieve liberation and freedom because that's not what the liberals are promising and that there is no point in voting third party results in people not voting at all.
