Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Is that really a good use of your time tho?
if it makes people realize how dumb it is to waste their vote on third party, then yes
But do you think, with your attitude, anyone is gonna read that and go, "OMG, he's soooo right. I've been totally wrong"?
OR do you think people have already pretty much made up their minds, resent you trying to make them feel stupid, and then it reinforces that they are doing the right thing because some people are such dicks to people who vote third party?
The hate and vitriol (and bullying) that I have received for voting third party, 100 percent reinforced that I want no part of the Democratic Party. Some people on here can be just as ugly and hateful in their comments as the Republicans are.
I've been called a Russian asset and/or Russian troll farm worker almost daily. Let's not even mention the Russianphobic comments and the hate in those now. Do you guys hear yourselves?! It's getting very ugly about how hateful you are when talking about Russians. You wanna hate Putin, fine. But not all Russians are evil.
Democrats are getting as bad as Republicans in their hate now. And yes, I mean that.
I was a third party supporter before, but after being on Lemmy for these last two weeks, I'm even more convinced that I made the right choice!
(And yes guys, I am fine with your screen shots of how many posts I have posted, and the exact count of days I have been on. That does nothing to stop me. And does nothing for your arguments.)
if you're voting third party for no other reason than people are pointing out the fact that third party is one hundred percent going to lose, then that's what you're going to do. i'm not going to stop saying it's an objectively dumb decision, and no, it doesn't put you on some moral high ground. literally all you're doing is increasing the chances of a trump win, especially since RFK dropped
everyone's top priority from now until november should be keeping trump out of the white house. you think you're making some "statement" about principles or whatever, but what you're really doing is throwing your vote away
vote however you want, but don't sit there and try to blame lemmy for your wasted vote
Look at the poster’s bio they’re as bad as Jim-jim.
