I see the brigade is out, but not able to overcome the fact that not counting the poster's own upvote, he's downvoted two to one.

No. There is no such thing as a 'Blue Fascist'. This is the kind of BS that I was calling out with the false accusations bit in my example. No. Democrats are not Fascist. They aren't perfect but here's the facts: Nobody is! But Team Trump sure the fuck is. And anyone trying to get you to vote third party in a bitterly divided country like the USA is merely trying to get you to throw away your votes so that their favourite side of the duopoly wins, or they're too damn stupid to recognise that that's all you can do voting third party.

I also notice that this poster didn't address the meat of the illustration above. Can't really, I guess!

Let's also point out that as long as there is FPTP, even if Ms. Bookish Girl were to win more than 3 votes, she'd STILL suffer the same effects. Let's say she's a D&D nerd through and through. A GURPS GM and his two players could sink her as surely as her voters would sink Nerd Boy. Quite literally, your only path in the current system is to take over one of the two major parties and slowly, meticulously, difficultly, and methodically bend that party to being what you want, and you might fail at that because hey, guess what, you don't always get what you want.

But if you let Trump and Project 2025 win, I promise you you'll get what you DON'T want. Don't let this jerk or idiot (because it must be one of the two) get you to vote for Project 2025 by voting third party.

Look at you assuming that project 2025 is not bipartisan. Its ideas have been around for decades and has always been bipartisan. Project 2025 is just its most current name.
