A dog shit party that did nothing to stop Trump?
Out of curiosity: what would you want them do?
Yeah, OP would enthusiastically vote for Mussolini if the other option was Hitler
Uhh.... Are you saying you'd vote for Hitler if the other option was Mussolini?
What are you trying to say here? That it's better to "take the higher ground" and just NOT vote? Giving the hardcore right-winger voters an even larger margin by which they elect the horrible option?
Not voting at all is literally he worst of all available options in the vast majority of democratic election systems.
Note: if I'm wrong, and not voting actually sends a message in the US, please educate me. The systems I know count the votes as the percentage of valid votes given, which means that not voting always gives advantage to the right side.
This must be a Dem-lefty-gay scheme to destroy Real American Patriots!!1
(also, don't do vaccines because autism)
/s, in case it's really necessary
You mean one dead accuser?
The second one never did anything other than press runs.
The third one was a convicted stalker.
Heather Unruh
This one was actually hilarious.
They stated that her son was texting his girlfriend while Spacey was "doing the deed". When asked to admit the phone as evidence, they said that they "lost the phone".
It magically resurfaced a couple of months later, but... without the text messages. Unruh admitted that she deleted "some texts".
The only thing that's bleak about this story is how the public hung a guy who seems to be only guilty of giving off weird vibes.
it feels highly likely he’s guilty
And yet he was found not guilty in literally all cases that went to court...
he was convicted of sexual abuse
Only by the people who were nowhere near the court cases. E.g. at least half of the Internet.
I mean are they wrong that the rich never really get punished?
Ekhm... Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein are suddenly no longer considered rich?
Mate, are you saying that Spacey has more pull, or access to better lawyers, than Harvey Weinstein...?
I find this especially hilarious considering his cases were on around the same time as Cosby’s and Weinstein’s.
It seems people honestly believe that Kevin Spacey has more pull/better lawyers than Harvey fucking Weinstein…
Right. So, just hands up, silent protest kind of thing, give all the power to the even more horrid people?
No, they wouldn't. Because "had enough people not voted" the Republicans would've stayed in power and escalated things even more - as they do.
I guess it just sucks to be stuck in two-party system as hard as the US is. In most other places when you want to show you're not happy with one of the major parties, you vote for the smaller ones. This often forces the winner of elections to enter a coalition government with the smaller fish, giving them a little bit of power.
