Many people gave up the “vote blue no matter who” sentiment after seeing the results of blue politicians in 2016 and 2020. It’s no surprise people are voting with their hearts more than settling for less now.

What’s interesting is that the Republican party welcomed in these neglected voters. Can you blame them? The Democratic party doesn’t even promote progressive policies anymore. The Democratic party is now the pro-war party too.

I’m not surprised that Trump won. Hilary, Harris, and Biden were all terrible choices

Personally I think people like Tulsa Gabbard and Andrew Yang are playing the long game within the Republican party as the Democrats shut down any chance for change.

I don’t like this argument. Ideally Republicans and Democrats should be giving olive branches to the larger third parties, whom you voted for in the primary. I’d much rather see a third party base putting pressure on topics, that’s the whole point of having third parties. It’s like a political game of chess and you shouldn’t have to default to a 2 partily echo chamber.

Same could be said of boycotting the election all together. It’s a power play in order to motivate the parties to change.

The point of the two parties should be earning your vote by representing you. Skipping the primary for Biden’s replacement was the downfall of this election because it weakened the support of the candidate before she even started.

On the flip side, I do agree that Jill Stein is a grifter

And thanks for not letting me pay attention to you. lol

You really can’t keep blaming the voters guys, it the politician and surprise surprise you can can’t force an entire party’s nominee without a proper primary

Bad take. Lots of Bernie voters turned redipped after the DNC shafted Bernie. Blame the oligarchy

I agree that I didn’t agree with him towing the line. But you can’t argue that’s he’s been nothing but a source of good at least at the Senate level and inspiring new progressives

Hey I just wanted to say that this is a great post. It really shows how little Hilary, Biden, and now Harris brought to the table

It’s crazy how the DNC only wants to appeal to moderates, and Republicans cross the aisle, after witnessing how Trump performs

Should I be concerned about being on lemm.ee?

I was happy today when I made a post on an obscure community and some guy just passing by on the “new” feed left a comment.

“I’m not an alarmist, but let me start the alarm”

lol no

wait it’s bad to like south park now?

Sounds like a similar experience I’ve had. They even spammed all my posts in my history accusing me of being a Russian bot lol

It’s a small community, maybe we are talking about the same person

I miss bean memes

It’s gotten pretty bad on the politics front lately. It’s like an entirely different community now compared to last year

Does it have a widget? I want to integrate it in my workflow on my phone

Sorry but I think people are taking the whole Trump = fascist thing too seriously. Both candidates are really middle of the road moderate. People just get really excited right before the election

Boycotting is a powerful tool and should be respected as much as voting

You should read the book, “the subtle art of not giving a fuck”
