I am a longtime Republican who feels disaffected from the mainstream Republican Party but who can't ignore the failures of the Democratic Party.

    Maybe, but I believe they’re just feeling alienated by the two-party system.

      Yes, it’s bad, and we’ll fix it locally first with things like RCV.

      I keep seeing your posts and I get where you’re coming from. Early in my voting career I voted for Ralph Nader. I lived in MA at the time and I had hoped that a third party would get traction. I knew it didn’t matter in MA, knowing that the Democrat would win my state. However, what you continuously encourage is very dangerous on a national level. It’s very dangerous when Trump is the other option. It’s almost like you want him to win.

              Perhaps, but you are here to stand on a soapbox and advocate for a third parties. You’re not wrong, you’re just a broken record and an being an ass about it. Read my comment above again. This isn’t a regular election where people can just throw away votes on Jill Stein or Cornell West- unless of course you want Trump to win, and I’m starting to believe you do.

              Edit: similar user names, I am mixing up my satanists, my apologies.

        I’m not encouraging anything though. I’m just posting interesting articles.

        I think people should vote for whoever they want to.

              Because that’s what u/paf0 believes. Who do you want to win? Be honest.

                Rachele Fruit, of the Socialist Workers Party. I created and mod a community for that party, an x.com account, and a mastadon account for them. I’m a donor and volunteer for the campaign as well.

                  It’s funny that you’re adding the community creation line to your script, because literally anyone can create any community for any reason. It means nothing.

                    Yes, people can create a community on Lemmy. Just like people created the community we are in right now.

                    Just like I did, because I support socialist parties and causes.

                    Thank you!

                    So should we only vote for people we think are going to win? Or should we vote for people we want to win?

          By posting you are encouraging. But you knew that already.

            I’m not encouraging anything. Are you saying that Lemmy’s can’t think for themselves and would vote against Harris just because of something I posted?! Really?!

            Because you’re not saying that, then no harm in me posting, right?

            Is everything that’s not a vote for Harris, “propaganda” to you?! LMAO

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
