POLL: The Left's Messaging. WTF?

Pick all the messaging options you'd endorse: 7 members have voted

  1. 1. Pick all the messaging options you'd endorse:

    • always call The AFFORDABLE Care Act that! -- instead of "Obamacare." It was a major blunder to allow the Right to rename it with their perceived enemy's name.
      3%
    • always refer to this Prez as THE LYIN' KING. It maintains focus on his greatest threats: Lying and destroying democracy. Disrespect is the least the left can do.
      9%
    • always refer to The Lyin' King as trying to be a DICTATOR, not an "authoritarian." People don't know WTF that means!
      7%
    • always call the Democratic Party -- that! -- instead of "DemocrRAT Party" -- which the Right started 25 years ago to subliminally emphasize "rat."
      5%
    • counter the "socialist/communist" attack by endorsing the same "brother's keeper" version Jesus endorsed. Condemn China and Russia's dictatorship version.
      7%
    • be blunt, frank, straight-forward and down-to-earth instead of measured, dodgy, intellectual and generic. It reeks of old-school, disingenous rhetoric.
      9%
    • prioritize terms and ideas that are understandable and relatable instead of technically the most accurate. No insider terms or phrases the average joe doesn't get.
      9%
    • show you care. Always be calling out the ILLEGALITY of any administration. Honest politician's should ANGRILY do that EVERYtime a microphone is in front of their face.
      7%
    • there's a time for saying, "can't we all just get along and agree to disagree." This ISN'T it! (a tyrant is trying to forcefully overthrow democracy for the 2nd time!)
      11%
    • call the Gaza deal what it was. A bombing, murdering, genocide ending with the threat of "annihilation!"
      11%
    • say, "IF there is an 'Antifa', I am not a member. Like my father and every other American during WWII, however, I am proud to be an anti-facist."
      5%
    • don't be afraid to accuse the Lyin' King of what he wildly accuses others of (e.g. even though he said election '20 was "rigged", you can still suggest election '24 was "rigged")
      9%
    • given their leader's literal and figurative incontinence, would it be too imature and tr%umpian to call it The Dump Administration!?
      1%

Wrong! I don't vote for third parties to "thumb [my] nose at the system." I vote for third parties because I believe in and support their charters and platforms.

the effect is thumbing your nose, because it's never remotely been a viable strategy for actually seating someone with the ideals you believe in. Quite the opposite.

Have you read the platforms of the Green Party and the Working Families Party, V.3? If you have, what do you object to about them?

here's the REST of my quote from the "who would you vote for thread" that you left out. iow, my #1 preference has always been the green party, but i'd never throw my vote away and, in reality, not just theory, hurt my fellow citizens to make a point.

I like Green credentials, but I'd never consider a Green Party candidate in the current 2-Party System. Like many, i believe in voting for the best representative of my priorities for America in the Primaries. But if asked who i'd like to see competing in the general election, i'd consider compromising a little in consideration of elect-ability.

I agree with both of those, and election reform should include Ranked Choice voting, which would eliminate the two party stranglehold, but the major parties would never allow it..
