I dont think we've been reading the same Lemmy, everyone on here hates democrats and they hate republicans even more.
Reality is if you want to slow down facism you have to vote demovlcrat currently. If you want to stop it altogether you need to run for office yourself.
do you happen to have lemmy.world blocked? Most of the centrist shitlibs I've interacted with were from that instance, and before I blocked them I would say Lemmy was closer to a 50/50 split between leftists and blue MAGA.
I guess I have no idea
on dbzer0 they def have a lot of people who hate dems, but the rest of Lemmy is very much pro-democrats. Sure, they're mad about this vote, but most comms on Lemmy used to legit ban people who talked shit about the democrats last year. lol
They are starting to be more pissed now, but they are still very much "Vote Blue no matter who."
Oh they are MAD at democrats, they don't hate them. If they hated them, they'd push for third party. Most of lemmy is very anti-third party. It's getting better and they are starting to come around now, but before the election, if you mentioned third party, then Lemmy accused you of being a russian spy. lmao
I dont hate the idea of a third party, I just dont think its possible in the current political system. To have a third party you have to change the way voting works. That means you gotta get the people that have the power to change it to change it. Thats why they object to voting third party. And frankly, right now, until the system changes, a third party will never get traction. You need democrats who want third parties to work their way up through the system and change it.
Nah, people say that to make you not wanna vote third party. If everyone voted third party, then we'd have a viable third party.
You don't think a third party would get traction of everyone voted for it? Trust me, it'd get traction. People need to stop thinking it can't happen, or it will never happen. That's how you got Trump, by the way. Look at all the people who didn't even vote. Imaging if they would have voted third party. The numbers would prove that third parties are viable.
Dude, you gotta face it. People are afraid to take a risk. Every fucking election it's: "Oh sure, third parties would be awesome. But not THIS election. THIS election is too important. Next time!"
Every. Fucking. Election.
You keep on being afraid and scratching your head. I'll keep laughing at how the duopoly is failing you. :)
Let me know when that fantasy you described becomes a reality and I'll be happy to vote third party alongside you. Until then, I'm stuck voting for the least bad option.
Yeah, and while you keep voting for the least bad option, don't be mad when people like Trump win. Because that's the exact mindset that caused his win. I voted third party last election, so none of it's my fault! lol
Thats an interesting way to think of it. I think the complete opposite. I am actually one of the reasons Trump became president in 2016. I wasted my vote and voted third party in a swing state in 2016.
Voting for who you like, isn't a wasted vote. It's the point of voting. The duopoly wants you to be afraid to vote third party. That's how they stay in power.
You're falling for their fear. It's part of their plan.
Not me. I'll keep on voting third party. Every. Single. Time. :)
Probably not much a point in continuing as we seem to live in different realities here.
You enjoy losing. Every. Single. Time :)
Ok! You too! (How'd the last election work out for ya?) :)
Worked out well in 2020 and in 2022 (Governor), win some you lose some. 3rd party loses them all.
Yeah, but the difference is, I don't mind Trump winning, because you all deserve it for being spinless. So when I lose, I take pride in it because i wasn't afraid to vote for who I wanted to. :)
I spent election night laughing.
OK, sounds like you like losing, can't argue with that. Have a good one.
Nah, it's not that I like losing, it's that I'm not afraid of losing. Big difference. I vote for who I think is best for the job, not out of fear of who is worst for the job. :)
This is such a strange conversation. Do you really think you are some brave soul and everyone else is afraid to vote third party and isnt just being pragmatic?
I vote for the dems because they actually have a chance of winning and they are the least bad option. I'm not afraid, not sure why you keep saying that. Thats pretty much the end of it.
So you vote for people you think have best chance of winning. I vote for people who fit my values and who I want to be president.
Feel free to keep doing what you're doing and help prop up the Duopoly. That's EXACTLY what they want you to do. That's EXACTLY how they want you to think.
Not me, I'll vote for who I want to be president. Every time. That's pretty much the end of it.
I vote for who closest fits my values and has a chance of being president. With your strategy you might as well just vote for yourself.
Hmmmm, funny you mention that. I just so happen to have a little bit of experience with that. And I won (a while ago). So no, not all third party candidates lose. :)
