Yes they are.
Trump or Harris are going to be president come January 20th and don’t act like Rachele Fruit or Jill. Stein might actually have a chance.
You’ve stopped responding to me so unlike the candidates you’re promoting you must know when you are beat.
Those are your only 2 choices, they don’t represent what we want in government and do nothing to earn our votes. Rewarding bad behavior results in more bad behavior, that’s how Democrats went from he party of Carter to the party bragging how many Republicans they have coming on board.
Do you ever get bored of being boring?
I do get tired of liberals and their arrogant smug hubris.
I can’t tell if that’s a yes or no.
lol lol lol and you went personal. Biggest sign of insecurity there is
I didn’t go personal. That’s a generalization.
“OP has stated that they have no issues with a Trump victory and constantly floods the feed with pro Trump propaganda. They will only engage in bad faith and refuse to take responsibility for the things they post. The people controlling this account are here solely for political purposes and have no interest in anything other than harming this community.”
Keep that in mind. I didn’t write this, just posting what someone else wrote. Thanks!
I didn’t vote for Trump. And I don’t care if he wins. I didn’t vote for Harris. And I don’t care if she wins.
I don’t like either one of them.
My post history is public, so not sure why you think that’s some big “gotcha” moment. In fact, here’s the direct link to my post history: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts
Thank you! :)
Take it up with the authors of the comment. Clearly people agree with them. I just post what I find interesting.
Yes they are.
Looks like plenty of people disagree with you.
Beg to differ.
Well, if you believe plenty of people don’t disagree with you, then neither you nor the Democrats should have anything to worry about or be upset about when it comes to third parties. Thanks, friend! :)
Everyone in the entire country has something to worry about BECAUSE there are only two parties. Did you have your pills this morning?
No pills needed. I happily voted third party. Thank you! :)
That would be fine if it weren’t for the fact that the races are so tight that every vote matters. If Harris had a healthy lead on Trump to the point where a couple hundred votes here and there could be thrown away and she’d still win nobody would worry, we’d say “sure, throw away your vote, or you know, just stay home, you do you”, but unfortunately that’s not the case. So yes, the vast overwhelming majority of people disagree with you, but unfortunately even being wrong your vote is still important.
On the topic of whether there are more than two parties, first past the post means no, there aren’t, there can’t be more than two parties. Fix first past the post if you want an actual democracy. Until that happens, voting 3rd party is functionally the same as not voting, in either case your vote isn’t being counted to determine the winner.
If she didn’t swing hard right maybe polling wouldn’t be so tight.
That can be true and she can still be the best candidate. There’s a very long list of people I would rather see elected president but unfortunately the reality is that only one of two people are going to win. It’s either Harris or Trump, and while I don’t like Harris for many many reasons, she’s not an existential threat to democracy like Trump is so she gets the votes. The only way to fix this is to get some kind of proportional voting implemented at the federal level. Personally I like STAR voting, but even the worse choice of ranked choice is still better than first past the post.
Voting for who you want to, isn’t throwing away your vote. It’s exercising your rights. Thank you! :)
No, it’s throwing a vote away when it has no chance of affecting the election. It literally means your vote does nothing.
Looks like even more disagree with you.
Sure, but I’m not running for prez and I’m not creating ads against others who are.
What does that have to do with anything?
Because even tho more disagree with me, that doesn’t matter, because I’m not running for president. It’s the ones who disagree with the idea of there only being two parties, that the Democrats need to worry about–not me. Thanks!
It’s become obvious that you don’t post in spite of critics but because of them. You’re a trumper fueled by your contrarianism. Everyone can see it.
I didn’t vote for Trump. Thank you!
Looks like plenty of people disagree with you
Those are your words to another commenter, whom I think we can very safely assume is also not running for president. So why bring it up at all if it doesn’t matter?
Yah you could be like me and vote for Jill Stein in protest of the Democrats not being progressive enough, end up with 4 years of fucking Trump instead, and then later find out Jill Stein has been taking money from Russia, the most belligerent enemies of democracy and rule of law on this planet.
So yah, you have other even more shitty options to avail yourselves of until 4 years from now when we’re not even a fucking democracy anymore.
There are other candidates besides Stein though.
If you want to vote for someone who will get more than 1% of the vote, no, no there aren’t.
Technically writing in Mickey Mouse is a choice, it has slightly less of a chance than voting Green or Libertarian.
Meanwhile, failing to vote for a major party candidate only helps the candidate you dislike the most:

Don’t like Trump? Think he’s a danger to every single thing we believe in as a country? Vote for Harris. Anything less only helps Trump.
Holy shit yes they are.
If you vote for a third party in an American election, you’re only giving a vote to your least preferred option.
The rest of the world is counting on you lot to not vote in the literal fascist you’ve got running.
Do not fuck this up.
Vote Harris and hold your nose if you have to, but literally any other vote is actively malicious and will likely hasten the end of the modern world.
I’ve already voted. And I happily voted third party. Thank you! :)
I hope you truly own the part you have played in helping the fascist rise to power if it happens
It will be your fault.
Look at you talking about rising fascism in future tense. It’s given rise by people that defended the status quo which enabled it.
I didn’t vote for Trump though. Thank you!
