I do believe the requirement is that you just need to be specific. Republicans generally suck all around right now so that's a valid statement.

However, if you're going to complain about Democrats you need to say something like, "the leadership sucks" or, "there's too many rich people influencing the party!"

That's been my experience so far 🤷

I think that's something related to people only being used to a system with two parties. It is either one or the other, no other alternatives. And the fact that they do believe the democratic party is left-wing because it has some progressive views.

Edit: replaced "no in between" for "no other alternatives" because in this case, being in between is just being a centrist and it isn't what I meant

I want to hereby thank the people who voted "third party" because "both parties are bad". Yeah. Thanks....

This wasn't a Republicans vs. Democrats election. It was Maga vs. Democracy. And people STILL voted for "something else".

Let's say the people where 50/50 split. People who vote maga will 100% vote for trump. So on the other side you CANNOT vote anything else BUT Kamala. Otherwise you are only diluting her chances.

Third has never won. And would not win this time. So by choosing third party you are enhancing Trumps chances of winning.
