Which is why it’s a shame to see you fight each other as if that isn’t the case.

I would wholeheartedly recommend reading How To Win Friends And Influence People (or at least this summary). Especially if you’re trying to convince people to vote in the midterms.

    Why go against Trump when you can slander democrats and advertise third parties that have no chance to begin with?

      To add, in 2024 the 3rd party candidate with the most votes was magician Jill Stein, who magically appears right before elections, then magically disappears again afterward. And she got a whopping half of a single percent of the total votes cast.

      So yeah, ain’t no 3rd party going to win a federal election anytime in the near or remote future. And ain’t no 3rd party even really trying. So why fucking vote for them?

          They admitted in court that it’s not a democratic process so they couldn’t be held to that standard.

          Also, I have heard zero talk from them about transitioning from a republic to democracy, so they are also republicans as I see it.

          Words can be hard. I get it.

            This coming from the person who apparently thinks political party names are literal. Do you think the nazis were socialist? It’s in the name so it must be true!

              You do not capitalize the word democrat unless you’re talking about members of a corporate controlled party within the United States. What’s so hard to understand?

              Do you really see the idea as exclusive to you? I get it. Americans don’t see democracy as universal, just some selective cudgel you weaponize to steal natural resources. It’s not. It’s a universal human right that we all are entitled to.

              Democrats are not democratic. They just aren’t.

            Good thing lemmy isn’t a courthouse so we say words with the intention of understanding instead of debate :3

              I would say that we’re living in a truthy alternative facts America, where nothing is defined, everything is a pejorative, and it’s not just Trump.
