They are still in Russia. They moved on to fucking with the German election now I believe.

Yeah, I wish they'd promote the Green party here.
But with our voting system they have to promote the nazis directly.
Which they are unfortunately doing very successfully, along with fucking Elon Musk.

America, could you please keep your billionaires to yourself? They're annoying as hell.

Can’t we just return him to South Africa? We don’t really want him either

The Harris and Trump promoters also suddenly went quiet the day after the election.

What did you expect? The election cycle do be like that.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 78 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I wish the Trump supporters would go silent.

No they didn't lol there were topics about the election results immediately after, and for probably two weeks at least.

If those "green voters" actually gave a shit about getting their candidate elected, you'd hear from them for more than 2 months every 4 years.

But no, that was never the goal. Their goal was for Trump to win

The election is over, did you expect them to keep telling you to vote 3rd party when there is no election to vote for them in? Perhaps you noticed that all the "Vote Harris" commercials stopped too?

Apparently you’re supposed to bring up politics when commenting on cat pictures or something.

Now's the exact time to promote third parties.

[–] lengau@midwest.social 17 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Any third party that's actually trying to build a coalition and provide viable candidates would absolutely be working overtime right now.

If there actually were any. The only reason we hear about them ever is to promote spoiler candidates. Most are entirely funded by the GOP.

Still advocating for state level electoral reform so people can vote outside the two party system with no spoiler effect.

Why are you okay with people being unrepresented with their options in the voting booth? Don't you support democracy?

OTOH, been seeing lots of posts brought to you by the "democrats don't need to change, it's the voters who are wrong" gang.

"Hey, let's vote for a candidate who literally cannot win from a party that hasn't done the necessary work to become nationally viable because I don't want to be part of the two party problem even though if we do so it will guarantee that a felon rapist who incited an insurrection, stripped women of a human right, and illegally attempted to overturn an election will win." - Dipshit 3rd Party Voters

Just as stupid as Trump supporters, as far as I'm concerned.

Well, they got what we told them they'd be getting. Why aren't they celebrating?

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (37 children)

But you're SUPPORTING GENOCIDE when you vote for the candidate most likely to get the fewest people killed! While the people of Palestine are about to be annihilated, my own right to marry is about to be taken away, and all of my trans friends are going to lose access to the drugs that keep them from killing themselves, I can rest easy knowing that I didn't engage with the system at all

They still pop up now and again when they want to justify why Trump being elected was better than the filthy LIBERAL getting into office.

Which, itself, is a bit funny considering that third parties didn't have much influence on that.

Narrator: The Stein cicada has gone back underground to hibernate 4 more years. She will eventually resurface to make her cicada noises next election cycle

I think the real problem was those that stayed home. Turnout wasn't great.

This is like the ~2 month period in between US election spam, I quite enjoy it. I really don't need 12 months a year of yanks bitching about their idiotic government.

Jill Stein received less than 1% of the vote. Scapegoat someone else.

We don't need a third party. We need ranked choice voting.

They went the same place the people who raved that any critics of Biden/Harris were cloaked Trump supporters or Russian bots.

Theyre still here, just posting about things that aren't politics.

The best solution to the two parties excluding the left isn't a third party, it's for the left to register as Republicans and conduct a hostile takeover of the GOP in the primaries.

This can easily succeed in blue states/cities to start out.

I still point out once a week. Republicans and Democrats are the problem. Entirely ditch both parties and grab a third party that's actually terrified of happening to them, what just happened to the Republican's and Democrats and taking our country back from the damn thieves.

But I guess with eye sight like that, you would have trouble seeing what's right in front of you.

If someone was bored enough they could go find the most popular posts from the election cycle and create a list of people pushing what agenda and then track how many of those accounts are suddenly inactive today.

Yea I did what Bernie did… vote for Democrats in the election because it was the opinion closer to my own beliefs. I’m a registered NPA at this point because I find the DNC embarrassing to be affiliated with.

For the most part I’m a democratic socialist. I’ll be supporting those types of candidates get elected as just regular Democrats, because (for the people in the back) THE USA CURRENTLY HAS A TWO PARTY SYSTEM!

Well if they weren't banned id suppose they are doing the same as the other supporters of other parties?

"I don't see anyone voting for Democrats right now, they must have been turned off by the Kremlin!"

[–] Kaput@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (32 children)

Canadian here,I still think it a good idea to start now. Harris could have been elected you would still need a third party or fifth. I believe Americans have been brain washed against it being even possible.
