Yes. Youve still got people on Lemmy who argue for a 3rd party vote in the previous and next election. Its mind numbing the fairy land these people live in. All around the world people are watching as Americans struggle with simplest choices.

But as fun as it is to blame Americans entirely their media is completely cooked. Their FCC refuses to enforce laws against bad actors. Internal bad actors and external bad actors constantly spread misinfo and manipulate public perception. Even though its been said over and over I still dont think people actually understand the influence this is having on the average citizen. You can convince the media voter of anything if you can control their perception of the world.

You voted for genocide and got genocide IndieGoblin, so I suppose you're the smart one, yeah. Good job.

You will blame the third party vote, meanwhile, a third of those eligible to, don't even vote, and you can't even get tens of millions of your own party members to vote.

It seems third party voters are the absolute least of your worries, but do go on with your mind numbing. Yeah, they're the first idiots that come to mind, eh? BRILLIANT

But The Pedophile said the Old Man once sniffed his daughter's hair, so I'm voting for The Pedophile.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Why vote for the pedophiles?

Vote Green, or Socialist, or Libertarian, or WHATEVER comes closest to what you think is right.

They say it's only A or B because those are the options they WANT you to have. But it's not their call, and it's not even their business. They don't realize that third party votes influence the major parties (if they didn't, it wouldn't enrage them so much, now would it?).

Ds and Rs, worry about your own parties, get your own voters out. A lot of people hate both of you, and you're going to have to let them go. You can't force them to join your binary clown show.

The majority of voters are INDEPENDENTS (40%). Ds and Rs are now the minority (30% each). That's what you get for ignoring voters for DECADES.

I think the problem is the voting system itself. first past the post highly enocurages a two party system. third parties will only rise when one of the two big parties does a major fuck up which, considering the pedophile president, is hard to do at this point.

Idk man Ross Perot almost won back in the 90s if the cancer thing hadn't happened he might have actually done it and then I truly believe once it happened it would have continued to happen.

But instead yeah we should keep the system we have now democrats and republicans have been so good to us wouldn't you agree?

You're like the guy that tells people not to vote for the union.

Bonus: here's an article talking about how the democrats are helping trump get his spying powers kicked off even better in the USA.

Make sure to keep telling people to only vote for these two parties though instead of trying to gain enough support for an actual change.

And another one where the dems helped good ol child rapist trump as well

Ross Perot

Ah yes, the billionaire. Electing a billionaire businessman is just what the US needs, right?

[–] Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

I never said that.

I said, that he almost won and if he had I truly believe that others would have too (meaning third party runners)

I never even said I supported him or any variation of that, simply that a third party almost did win and that if it happened once it could again but of course never will with the type of discourse that guy is using. "Throwing away votes" and shit what a load of nonsense.

People like that are why third party votes dont win and seem to be wasted in that context.

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I vote third party specifically to make people like you mad. I took time out of my day to vote green.

You want my vote, give me a single issue that the dems will be good on

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They're good at holding office for decades until they are freaking 89 like Maxine Waters.

Coincidentally, she and her entire extended family have somehow become filthy rich! So lucky!

[–] CrateredMoon@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

Meh. I feel you. I don't regret voting Nader in 2000, but realistically, your chances of moving toward a more progressive society are far better if the cult doesn't have a champion in office.
