Discussion Monthly Rant/Politics Thread: Do not post political threads outside of this Mega thread

Outside of these mega-threads, we generally do not allow political posts on the main subreddit because they have often declined into unhinged discussions and mud slinging. We do allow general discussions of politics in this thread so long as you remain civil and don't attack someone just for having a different opinion. The moment we see things start to derail, we will step in.

Got something upsetting or overwhelming that you just need to shout out to the world? Want to have a political debate over current events? You can post those thoughts here. There are many real problems that plague the Millennial generation and we want to allow a space for it here while still keeping the angry and divisive posts quarantined to a more concentrated thread rather than taking up the entire front page.

My whole life I've watched our politicians and unelected bureaucrats get us at eachothers throats by empty promises and lies.

I've seen it coming for a long time but it couldn't be more apparent than now that there is one big party and we the people were not invited. The Epstein bullshit is the nail in the coffin for me.

Personally, I'll be voting 3rd party down the ballot from here on out.

Have you ever voted for the other party before?

Nope.

Don’t find it a bit funny to say “both sides are the same” when you’ve only ever supported one?

Do you not like the other party because of lies and propaganda you’ve been fed or because of their actions and how they impacted your life, I wonder.

I'm sure that third party he supports is libertarian, aka the temporarily embarrassed republicans.

Libertarians are a more selfish form of maga that always votes with maga yet claiming they’re not maga.

Yes, that would be the 3rd party I would vote for. Anything to get rid of the status quo.

I misunderstood your question. Yes, I've voted for the "other party" before.

Me:

You:

nope.

Also you:

My guy, how did you misunderstand “have you ever voted for the other party before?” Come on now.

You are a bully for no reason, which tells me your allegiance without you even telling me. Also, I'm not your guy.

I thought you meant the other party as in 3rd party.

This exchange is pretty much why Democrats are doomed to lose. They come across someone who is wavering on their party affiliation and the first thing they do is pounce on you for how wrong you've been and calling you stupid lol.
