Mormon Satanist. Transracial Socialist Workers Party Kopimist Monk. Debt-free. Alcohol-free. Drug-free. Caffeine-free. Over 45,000 downvotes, mocked, parodied, and bullied —all because I dare stand against the current Duopoly. Yet here I am, standing tall, defending worker’s rights. “Union!”
I’m Socialist. I didn’t vote for Harris or Trump. Thanks!
The timing is suspicious. Tho I’m not a MAGA.
Oh damn, I didn’t even know this was a thing!! I wish I would have known. I just started a 100 rep squat thing that I do every day for the next 100 days, but I def would have started that at the beginning of the month if I had known this!
I don’t wait at all if it’s workout night. Sex is like cardio. It’s actually a good warm up to a good workout.
as the ideal situation is that everyone can be nice and not nasty when someone has a different opinion
Which is how I THOUGHT Lemmy would be when I signed up. It’s definitely not that way. I still love Lemmy, but oy, the user base here do not like opinions that go against the norm/majority. They like, seek revenge. Follow you around to downvote comments, etc. It’s crazy.
Totally agree!
The Green Party will limp on, but things got so divisive with Jill Stein and the Putin stuff, they’ll either bail on her and re-brand, or people will actually start to make a new third party. I think the re-brand is the more likely scenario, because starting a third party from scratch is tough.
I’m sticking with my instinct that Stein voters are mostly protest voters and hardcore Green Party supporters. Neither group would have been likely to vote for Harris anyway.
That’s also why I think it’s hilarious if the Republicans really are bankrolling her campaign, because it’s a huge waste of money.
See, my thing with Jill Stein is that I don’t think that she takes votes from Dems. I know the whole spoiler theory, etc, but I’m not buying it.
I think the people who are angry enough to vote for her instead of the Dem party, would NOT have voted Dem party anyway. I think they wouldn’t have voted at all.
Republicans will vote for Trump. Dems will vote for Harris. And people who wouldn’t have voted for either, MAY vote for Stein or the Socialist parties (like in my personal case).
I just don’t know any strong Democrats that would risk anything going to Trump, just to protest and vote for Stein. If Stein weren’t running, those voters would just protest by withholding their votes from everyone.
Harris is still going to win by a landslide, because Stein’s votes were never going for her anyway.
