McCain was a Republican and Kerry is a Democrat. Of course they were viable!

they didn't win. the label of "viable" is a myth.

Unless you are introducing a viable candidate

viability is a media myth. kerry was viable. mccain was viable.

You are actively supporting all the negative things about the candidate you agree with least by not voting for one of the two primary candidates.

that's not what active support is.

People don’t upvote. You’re more likely to be criticized for a position than engaged with. Opinions that disagree with the hive mind are often quickly downvoted regardless of whether or not the position has validity.

i experience this constantly on lemmy.

this is a great gimmick for poker players. show it of to a couple buddies so when someone calls you out for double dealing and wearing a shiner, one of them can stick up for you and say you just have a limp dick.

capitalism superceded mercantilism about 2 centuries ago. it's nowhere near as old as currency

communism is a wishful thinking pipe dream that turns into authoritarianism every time.
