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!

Well, it definitely seems as if the news and the democratic party isn't ignoring her.
Yeah they are. It's all pretty laughable. Everyone is aware that voting third party is throwing your vote away and this election is far too important for anyone serious to do that.
So was the last election ok to for third party? How about the one before that? And is the next one, when Trump Jr runs, ok for us vote third party then?
So just THIS 2024 election we shouldn't. But the other ones are ok. Right?
It'll be okay to vote third party (in a social sense since it's already allowed legally) when we change the election systems that we use so that third party votes are not spoiler votes. Let's abandon First Past the Post and use something like Ranked Choice Voting or better.
Sure, but the dem party and the repub party don't want to really change that.
So let's put pressure on our government to do that instead of trying to shoot ourselves in the foot.
By voting third party we ARE pressuring our gov to do that.
No, you're just making it easier for the fascists to win.
Every vote for Harris is stealing a vote from third-party candidates who represent real change. By sidelining those voices, you’re indirectly helping Trump win!
I already explained to you why that's bullshit. I can only assume that because you're bringing it up again 4 days later, that your intention is to waste my time.
Nah, I'm just voting for the person I like best and who best matches my values. As I would recommend you do. Thank you!
And in the process, you're just making it easier for the fascists to win.
Monk has had her Lemmy account for 6 weeks. In that time she’s posted nearly 1100 posts and over 2200 comments. Assuming she’s doing all the posting and commenting herself, and assuming (conservatively) 12 hours of Lemmy time per day, she is posting or commenting non-stop every 9 minutes.
Yeah I'm aware, and it's very fishy.
Thank you for finally getting my gender right!
