    If it’s easier to reason with third party voters than trump voters, it seems like the logical thing to do.

    EDIT: also worth pointing out the difference between “attacking” trump voters as individuals, because they have proven themselves to truly be deplorable, and “attacking” third party voting as a decision.

      There’s not much reasoning going on. Only dishonest claims about how Democrats actually stand for things they don’t stand for such as “Biden is actually the biggest ally of Palestinians”, and screaming insults.

      Democrats have done far more to reason with Republicans this election cycle than they have with third party voters on the left who at least don’t want genocide but know that the duopoly is never going to budge on their undying support of Israel. Let alone other actually progressive policies.

        On top of that, I’d say there’s some nuance - nationally, you’ll see Democrats reasoning with Republicans, targeting the non-maga conservatives.

        However here on Lemmy, there are very few conservatives as well as a disproportionate number of third party folks, so you’ll see a lot more discussion centered around third parties.
