As bad as the Democratic have been they are far less harmful and already have a sizable voter base.
Some voters will enthusiastically vote for the 3rd party, while other will prefer the 3rd party but vote Democratic because they don't have faith that the 3rd party will get enough votes and they feel their vote will be "wasted" by voting for them.
I do think a 3rd party would have a better chance slowly taking over congress and the Senate by running candidates in select districts that are strongly left wing. This would also force both the dems and Republicans to make concessions to this 3rd party in order to get enough votes for laws and legislation.
The thing is, dems are the only other party choice.
And while dem leadership is absolutely awful, there are progressives in the Democratic party. Like actual socdems and demsocs. The issue is nobody votes in primaries.
I'm guessing a lot of those people are either people who had issues trying to run the game or downloaded it thinking "yeah I'll play this later" then never actual end up playing.
Or they may play offline and the achievement doesn't appear.
The tragedy of a missing coma.
They meant "Tax wealth, not work" as in we should tax excessive wealth as opposed to taxing the labour of everyday people.
Thank god my regular unflavoured cigarette don't have any dangerous chemicals!

Damn. Corporate hit squad got him mid sentence.
They invent the metric system, the beautiful base 10 system that makes math and measurements easy.
...but didn't apply anything similar to how they say numbers.
The onion couldn't write this shit.
For the American Overton window. Of course they're more right wing when viewed in the light of European or even Canadian political sphere.
This is really funny as a bilingual person.

I fear that by doing that it would split the left vote. Resulting in more easy Republican victories.
I like to imagine at some point someone stabs a knife or sword into the map for dramatic effect.
And the cartographer who spent like a month making that map sheds a tear.
But where's living cells??
Payday 2 stealth type shit.

What are our other options? If we're given 2 awful options then the least we could do would be to pick the lesser of the 2 evils.

They knew what they were doing with that title.
This is like the "Immigrants being racist to newer immigrants" mentality but within the LGBTQ community.
