        Not a question of fairness for me. It’s a question of if it’s more likely to bring good things or bad things. Spoiler for repugs = good. Spoiler for dems = bad.

          So it’s only unfair when it happens to democrats. But totally fair when it happens to republicans?

          What do you think of the Green Party and the Socialist parties?

            I never said anything about fairness. You keep fixating on it.

            US electoral politics have nothing to do with fairness. They are downright anti-democratic. Gotta play the game and make as few tactical mistakes (like voting for Grifting Jill) as possible.

            I support actual left-wing parties when they’re viable, but Jill Stein and Cornell West need to fuck right out of presidential elections and end their grift. The Greens and other third-parties that run in other elections they can actually win have my support and my vote.

                So anyway, god bless Chase Oliver, Jo Jorgensen, Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, and all other right-wing spoiler candidates. We thank you for your service o7o7o7

                Also, we had this exact same conversation a few weeks ago, and it’s …interesting… that it followed the exact same dialogue tree and not at all suspicious of the integrity of your account… 🤔

                  And I haven’t changed my mind. That’s not “suspicious,” that’s me not changing my mind.

                  You haven’t changed your mind, does that mean your account is suddenly “suspicious”?

    To cut through the nonsense and save everyone time, especially since many in this community have a habit of resorting to personal attacks when responding to my posts recently: I support and respect everyone’s right to vote for who they want to.

    I’m just posting this article that’s already available on a much bigger platform than Lemmy—I didn’t write it, just sharing it for discussion.

    I’m clarifying all of this due to past posters refusing to refrain from insults, as well as repeated baseless accusations that I’m a Republican, Russian, and/or that I’m not even an American citizen (sorry guys, I’m all American).
