Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.
“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”
“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”
You sure do not have any idea who I voted for beyond Bernie. I always look up candidates and pick the ones with better access to healthcare, education, working environment, etc.

Fucking lulz.
Leftists don’t actually have to be against capitalism as a concept. Some of us do support european-esque capitalism because of easier access to healthcare and education.
And that’s the bare minimum, but the most impactful, and the most realistic. You, the 3rd party voter, can’t even cite when they have ever made a dent in the nation-wide scale, and you very well know that you can’t convince educated leftists to split their vote to give it to Trump. But, do try, and I’ll be laughing at the attempts.

Note that capitalism is everywhere, and politicians that do not want to change their economic system to socialism are still counted to left for strong support toward welfare, healthcare, etc. Heavily regulated capitalism is left to the center. Do you have an argument against this?

Yeah, if they were leftists, they vote left on downballot and vote for realistic options that is closest to left on general. That means, third parties are out unless ranked choice is a thing.

In context of Biden, it’s to have him on the white house to get some benefits possible, and he is the most realistic option because of Duverger’s Law. Which goes back to my point of there is no good answer as to when was the last time third party has made a huge dent electorally.

Let’s see. Student debt cleared to some degree. Pay raise for low wage workers. Yes, there were some.
Also, love that you ignored the issue of Duverger’s Law.

Sure, try arguing when was the last time third party has made a dent, and by what percentage. Cure my supposed historical illiteracy please.

Ooh, wow, a party no one heard of, and are you talking about 1919? And this has nothing to do with vote percentage?
Color me shocked and amazed by your argument.

Did you know that I pointed out issues with your arguments? So, address them.
