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 if it were true that I don't vote, then you have no reason to be annoyed by me, right? Also, I guess it's not THAT obvious, because I don't know what agenda you are talking about. What do you think my agenda is? And if I weren't voting, why would I have an agenda.
And for the record, I am voting. Socialist Workers Party. Which I have said severely times on Lemmy and I even created and mod the Socialist Workers Party community.
What have I lied about? I copy and pasted my info from Wikipedia into a text file. I did it a while ago. Then I use that when I need to. Maybe it changed since then, maybe not. I don't care. There was no lie. My point was, and still is, that greens run in local elections.
Even if you take out every single Democrat in that list, I'm still right. Greens run in other elections besides presidential ones.
In fact, I will tell you when I got the numbers and how I got that list. Here is the origin of me using that list and how it came to be: https://lemmy.world/comment/12178318
So maybe it's updated since then, but I used the list I gave you in that conversation with people, who were mad because I used the other wikipeida list which is here:
Here let's use this one. Also from Wikipedia: The Green Party's membership encompasses the fourth-highest percentage of registered voters in the United States, with a total membership of 234,120.[61] The Green Party has its strongest popular support on the Pacific Coast, Upper Great Lakes, and Northeast, as reflected in the geographical distribution of Green candidates elected.[62] As of June 2007, Californians have elected 55 of the 226 office-holding Greens nationwide. Other states with high numbers of Green elected officials include Pennsylvania (31), Wisconsin (23), Massachusetts (18) and Maine (17). Maine has the highest per capita number of Green elected officials in the country and the largest Green registration percentage with more than 29,273 Greens comprising 2.95% of the electorate as of November 2006.[63] Madison, Wisconsin is the city with the most Green elected officials (8), followed by Portland, Maine (7).

So feel free to be mad all you want, but saying I'm lying is just incorrect.
Incompetent, probably. Lying, no.
Can we be friends, now?
Looking at your post histroy its super obvious you are doing this to troll, pretty much everything you post is ragebait and you know it is because you keep getting massively down voted and told why its cringe yet you keep posting anyway. To me it's more entertaining than frustrating, I really do enjoy your posts, I just also enjoy picking them apart on occasion too, its nothing personal really but given how much you post and how low effort the points you try to make are its just too many opportunities.
I really do look forward to seeing what this account does after November 5th, can't wait to see what you post during mid terms, SWP is cool, interesting you post more about other parties than the one you actually support but whatever gets the people riled up i suppose.
Feel free to believe whatever you want to believe, friend. I'm not a troll and I'm not going anywhere after the election. I'll continue to post just like I have been.
I post way more about socialist parties and causes, including the Socialist Workers Party, way more than anything else. I’ve even set up accounts on x.com and Mastodon dedicated to SWP content, and some of my articles have been published in their newspaper, The Militant. Recently, I started designing shirts and educational materials for them too, so no idea why you are saying that.

Post history is public. They are correct in that you post far more in favor of Jill Stein but there's a reason for that, right?
