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!

So joke to you or not, I'm not voting democrat. Accept it.

What part of my last post made you think I'm upset about you not voting Democrat? I could give a shit if you vote for them, as much as I would like it, I care about people pretending that the green party is more than just a spoiler party when they don't put forth the effort required to do what other third parties do.

This isn't "the system vs the greens" this is the greens being too lazy to perform basic party actions and blaming the systems for failures other parties don't have.

The greens are my problem here, not third parties. But you don't want to hear that part, so I'm done arguing with you about it.

so I’m done arguing with you about it.

Awesome! I support you voting for whoever you want. As I am going to vote for who I want to. As is my right.

Yep, you have a right to waste your vote on a joke spoiler party. No one has said otherwise at any point in this conversation.

That I don't think is a joke spoiler party. No one has said otherwise at any point in this conversation.

And you have every right to ignore reality as well. We even have a major party that does so as well.

No one has said otherwise at any point in this conversation.

No, you've stated your opinion multiple times, and I've explained why your opinion doesn't match reality.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

nd I’ve explained why your opinion doesn’t match reality.

In YOUR opinion. You realize that I'm not the only one voting green right? There are lots of other people doing it to. But let me gues, they are ALL crazy too, right?

Also, almost half of the country isn't voting for your candidate. Welcome to democracy.

I support you voting for whoever you want. And I am voting for whoever I want to.

My opinion, the objective reality where Stein has not done anything more than lose presidential election after election and never gaining a single national seat.

Poh-tay-toh

Puh-tah-toe

And you're totally welcome to that opinion. As I am welcome to mine. And I'm still not voting for Harris. See how that works?

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I didn't realize that provable facts are opinions now, but I guess greens see the world differently.

You can keep your alternative facts to yourself.

And again, I give two shits you're not voting for harris, you're not going to upset me because you don't like my parties candidate nearly as much as you're getting upset about me not liking your party's candidate.

And no matter how upset you get, the green party is still a joke party that can't win a single national seat. See how that works?

I'm not upset at all. You are entitled to your opinion. As am I.

And no matter how upset you get, the green party is still a joke party that can’t win a single national seat. See how that works?

I'm not upset. I'm also not voting for your candidate. See how that works?

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I'm not upset.

[X] Doubt

I'm also not voting for your candidate. See how that works?

Yes, I saw how that worked the first time, which is why I doubt you're not upset. But I'll save us both some time and block you so you don't get your blood pressure too high.

Feel free to have the last word, I know you need it.

Block away. Thank you!
