I am a longtime Republican who feels disaffected from the mainstream Republican Party but who can't ignore the failures of the Democratic Party.
You're viewing a single thread.
This says a lot about West’s base lol
He has fewer Republicans endorsing him than Kamala does
Rates matter, not raw numbers
That’s a good thing.
Maybe, but I believe they’re just feeling alienated by the two-party system.
Yes, it's bad, and we'll fix it locally first with things like RCV.
I keep seeing your posts and I get where you're coming from. Early in my voting career I voted for Ralph Nader. I lived in MA at the time and I had hoped that a third party would get traction. I knew it didn't matter in MA, knowing that the Democrat would win my state. However, what you continuously encourage is very dangerous on a national level. It's very dangerous when Trump is the other option. It's almost like you want him to win.
They are here to drown out the legitimate conversations and pick fights in the comments.
Who?
OP
Perhaps, but you are here to stand on a soapbox and advocate for a third parties. You're not wrong, you're just a broken record and an being an ass about it. Read my comment above again. This isn't a regular election where people can just throw away votes on Jill Stein or Cornell West- unless of course you want Trump to win, and I'm starting to believe you do.
Edit: similar user names, I am mixing up my satanists, my apologies.
I'm not OP.
Yes, I see that now, similar user names, sorry.
All good!
I'm not encouraging anything though. I'm just posting interesting articles.
I think people should vote for whoever they want to.
I think you should admit that you want Trump to win
Why? Since that's not true.
Because that's what u/paf0 believes. Who do you want to win? Be honest.
Rachele Fruit, of the Socialist Workers Party. I created and mod a community for that party, an x.com account, and a mastadon account for them. I'm a donor and volunteer for the campaign as well.
It's funny that you're adding the community creation line to your script, because literally anyone can create any community for any reason. It means nothing.
Yes, people can create a community on Lemmy. Just like people created the community we are in right now.
Just like I did, because I support socialist parties and causes.
Thank you!
Exactly - so it adds no credit to your statement. It means nothing.
What do you think your odds of winning look like?
So should we only vote for people we think are going to win? Or should we vote for people we want to win?
By posting you are encouraging. But you knew that already.
I think that people shouldn't post propaganda, yet here we are..
I'm not encouraging anything. Are you saying that Lemmy's can't think for themselves and would vote against Harris just because of something I posted?! Really?!
Because you're not saying that, then no harm in me posting, right?
Is everything that's not a vote for Harris, "propaganda" to you?! LMAO
I'm saying that you're just as bad as propagandists for posting propaganda.
I don't post propaganda tho. Are all the Harris articles here "propaganda?"
I'm not talking about Harris articles. I'm talking about this very post.
"I'm just asking questions"
And I'm just posting articles. I have always said that people should vote for who they want to vote for. That hasn't changed.
"I'm just asking questions"
bOtH bAd
They are both bad.
