    Gen Z (and everyone else) needs to learn that they are stronger as Unaffiliated Independents. No candidate wins based on their party base. The winner is ALWAYS the candidate who won the independent vote.

    Stay independent, and make them earn your vote every time.

      Just because morons who flip-flop back and forth between neoliberalism and fascism tend to swing elections doesn’t mean you’ll be stronger if you join them. If you regret your Trump vote, cool, but I also see what you voted for, so you’re not my ally.

      If I am going to put my support between of of America’s two parties, there’s a right and a wrong answer. Trump voters objectively chose wrong.

      Ideally you would actually vote for an independent third party, but we see how the Green Party works in America, so it still just ends up being half a vote for fascism…

        Your Democrats aren’t perfect either. They don’t undo what the right does just keeps it the same. Blind loyalty is stupid and you guys need other choices. Since your left part seems to be going along pretty nicely with what the bright is doing.

          Then they should join the DSA or some adjacent worker party. Telling the dems you won’t vote for them because of X will get the response of “the GOP will punish you for not voting for us”

      Unaffiliated should be mandatory. If else, cunts like musk and thiel are going to get into the game directly. Or their puppets.
