I mentioned that I voted, and they naturally asked me who I voted for. I said, "De la Cruz. Third party."
"Sorry, I didn't quite catch that?", one of them said, and the whole group looked at me a bit puzzled — so I reiterated, "De la Cruz, a third-party candidate."
"...Wait, there's a *THIRD* party?"
Why is it voters fault? Why the fuck can't the Dems actually provide policy that people want?
If the people holding back their vote is due to the current genocide in Gaza, THEN WHY THE FUCK DON'T THE DEMS CHANGE COURSE ON THAT ONE FUCKING POLICY?
Because if I blame the voters, then I don't have to admit that my country and its elections are a joke.
The sophist of the hour didn't take the time to address this point. I wonder why!
