    So glad we have absolute chaos and complete disregard for rule of law or common sense under donvict.

    Big shout-out to the self-righteous holier-than-thou fools that not only threw away their vote, or sat out, but openly lobbied others to do so as well, because obviously Kamala would have been just as bad.

      Given your concern about third-party voters, surely you’re working toward replacing the First-Past-the-Post (FPTP) system in your state. The election is over, and now is the time for the necessary changes. With a more representative voting system, people could vote outside of the two-party system, knowing their votes would still be counted against the Republicans if their preferred candidate didn’t win. States control their own voting systems, so we don’t need a miracle from Congress. We can change how we vote and allow third parties without worrying about a spoiler effect. Some states have already made this important reform.

      For example, Alaska recently held a referendum on whether to return to FPTP from Ranked Choice Voting, and it didn’t pass. Republicans were upset when Sarah Palin lost to a more moderate conservative under Ranked Choice Voting and tried to eliminate it. Democracy shouldn’t be about “vote for my choice, or else.” That’s a hostage situation and should be recognized as a crisis. The American people aren’t truly represented by the limited options in the voting booth. This is a crisis!

      Yet, the Democratic Party hasn’t abolished FPTP in many of the blue states they control. They prefer safe states and easy elections, avoiding tough questions—even if it means giving Republicans an advantage. Democrats have lost their “only ones resisting Republicans” narrative. They should have lost that privilege long ago, but we kept giving them chances. No more chances, no more safe states or seats. If Democrats truly believed what they say about Republicans, they’d welcome everyone into the electoral process to help defeat them.

      The United States of America is more important then the Democratic Party.
