Oh, I know. But imagine, if you will, if enough people collectively decided to vote 3rd party. It's a minority of Americans who even vote at all. If a third party received the majority of votes, they would have to be put in office -- hypothetically at least.

It isn't really about his net worth. Capitalists (oligarchs) like Trump because for some reason he is the right kind of ghoul to be their tool. And police like who the oligarchs like.

In my case, I'm in a deep blue state. Otherwise I would grit my teeth and vote for the "lesser" evil. But we really do need a new party.

True, but the outlay of cost for the hardware was higher than the value of Bitcoin you would receive.

bitcoin mining hasn't been profitable for a long time. Like, a decade or so.

They might look reasonable at first glance, but the devil is in the details. These are bad.

Pretty ironic that Millie here is concerned about insincere trolls, yet they come off as the biggest troll here. I have blocked them and I suggest any leftists here do the same.

Wonderful news.

liberals are conservatives. What we call conservatives are regressives.

Let's just get a few facts out of the way:

  • Genocide is the worst crime humanity is capable of
  • The US has a direct hand in multiple genocides
  • Record levels of homelessness in the richest nation on earth is unacceptable
  • Death from preventable illnesses in the richest nation on earth is unacceptable
  • Highest infant mortality in the western world in the richest nation on earth is unacceptable
  • Democrats are not interested in changing the status quo
  • Republicans want a return to chattel slavery
  • Neither party is willing to help us, nor will they ever allow us to vote third party by adding ranked choice or anything like that
  • Therefore, our best bet to break the cycle is to collectively vote for, say, the green party

You think leftists are unrealistic for being disgusted with Democrats? The genocide was live streamed to the world. Did you not see any of it? Did it not move you?

By the way, the Democratic party is not left-wing. It is right-wing. Please educate yourself.

Also, are we hopeless? Fuck no. Boycotts have been making progress. Noncompliance has accomplished a lot. Unionizing, if you can swing it, can accomplish a lot. Meshtastic can offer resiliant communications if Trump declares a national emergency. Democrats want you to panic. Leftists want you to organize.

Too true. Trump didn't come from nowhere; the genocide of the native americans, the ethnic cleansing of black communities, jim crow, the zoot suit riots, etc are all proof of that.

And yeah, the democratic party talks a good game, but where were they when that train derailed and ruined the water in East Palestine, Ohio? Where were they during the subsequent negotiations with the railway workers who were just asking for basic necessities -- which Biden denied to them. Why did the Democratic party reduce Covid leave to just 5 days, when it takes at least a week or more to fully recover? Why did they remove the masking mandate when infections are still happening and disabling people?

They are all servants of the capitalists. The oligarchs need to go. A lot more than that needs to happen honestly, but at least the oligarchs need to go.

 

This is a proposal for how we could potentially bypass the two-party system and set up a government that actually represents the will of the people.
