And in “tell Us Something we Didn’t Already Know” news.
I hate how they’ve spammed their way into turning this community into 90% conversations about irrelevant 3rd parties.
Every post is either by them or something meant to dunk on them.
That’s such a ridiculous claim that I bothered to count.
There’s been 4 posts about anything regarding 3rd parties out of 31 in the last 24h and that’s much MORE than usual!
Sounds like you’re just hypersensitive about being reminded that the two party duopoly is only ALMOST complete 🙄
Yes that was hyperbolic, I see these posts on my feed on a daily basis, and it’s filled with dozens of rehashed comments bickering about the validity of third parties. It’s getting far more attention here than it deserves when there are tons of actual, real political issues in the world.
I’ll be the first to say that I hate both major parties, but I have the political literacy to understand that the way to fix it is not by voting for someone with questionable ties to Russia that seems to pop up out of nowhere every four years.
If you guys actually cared to solve the issues you’d be campaigning to first and foremost get electoral reform to make third parties even remotely viable instead of trying to work within this extremely broken, barely democratic system. You’d also be doing work at a local level where real change can be made to movement rather than just throwing a candidate out for president every election. You won’t do that though because you’re all a bunch of weird idealists with fantastical views of how politics work. I’m interested in following news thats grounded in reality
Well said! It’s wild how some people get so worked up just because there are more than two political options. The majority of what I share is about socialism, but the moment I post one article about the Green Party, they blow it out of proportion and shout, “This is all you post!”—despite my post history being public and proving them wrong. 😂
If you’re not comfortable with this community embracing diverse political viewpoints and would prefer an echo chamber that only discusses one party, you’re always welcome to start your own Lemmy community.
Pesonally, I’m glad to see more third-party voices gaining visibility here!
Like the Green Party itself I look forward to you disappearing after the election. I’m sure your handlers will have you focus on some other pressing topic.
Your comment about me was removed for civility.
I’ll still answer tho. I’m not voting for Jill Stein. Thank you for thinking about me so much tho!
Lie to yourself if you must, but don’t expect anyone here to believe it
;)
I’m not lying about anything. Early on, I was voting for her, and I openly said so. I still like her and appreciate what she stands for. My entire post history is public, and I’ve been upfront from the start.
But since I lean more socialist, I’ve shifted to supporting a socialist party.
Why would I lie about not voting for Jill Stein when I clearly said I was going to vote for her in the beginning?
If I still support her efforts and have never denied that, then what would even be the point of lying about switching my vote?
And not only that, but I’ve switched my vote to a WAY lesser known third party–the Socialist Workers Party. So please tell me your theories on why I would lie about that.
I don’t see them in the comments. They’re probably on lunch break with that linkerbaan person.
