I love Lemmy and the concept of the Fediverse because it allows us to decentralize and avoid relying on the influence of a single instance. If one instance tries to silence dissenting voices, we can always move to another.

Multiple usernames, multiple instances—this ensures our voices aren't silenced.

That's why I'm contributing content: to help make the Fediverse stronger and more sustainable.

And you're here reading my posts, is this all you have going on in your life? lol

Yes, thank you! Finally someone called him out! Check his comments. That last 20 or so are him saying the same thing to me over and over. Of course, I just reply with the same thing too. lol

The guy legit follows me around to different instances and communities to downvote me. All because he's mad that I support the concept of third parties.

Guess he still hasn't realized that the Democrats betrayed him. They even lost the popular vote! LMAO

I just wanna clear some things up. Are you actually advocating for violence? Help me understand what you are saying with your comment.

Also, I'm a socialist. I'm not a right-winger. I didn't vote for Trump.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

Yeah, I think it's pretty telling that he wouldn't tell anyone who he would vote for. Which is his right of course, but most former politicians are pretty proud to say they are voting with their traditional political lines.

So Jill Stein's opinions don't matter because she's not vice president?

Well, she attended Harvard Medical School and practiced medicine in the Boston area for 25 years and also served as an instructor in internal medicine at Harvard Medical School. And she's been a political activist since 1988.

She's been in running for office since 2011.

Even tho you don't like and she hasn't won, I think she's been in the trenches long enough, and is educated enough to have an opinion on what happened.

The fact of the matter is, you don't like her. And you don't like her because during this election, you were told by everyone on Lemmy that she was a spoiler and a russian agent.

None of it was true. And even tho the margin of victory for Trump was so great, that none of the votes cast for her would have benefited Harris anyway, you're still mad and upset that Trump won.

The Republicans won the white house, the senate, and the house of reps. Clean sweep.

Jill Stein didn't cause any of that. Her not being in the election wouldn't have prevented any of that.

Also, obviously the news orgs think differently about the value of her opinion, because they publish it.

But hey, you, a guy on Lemmy, doesn't think she's important. Ok! Cool. You are totally free to think that. But plenty of people disagree with you. Just like a LOT of people disagreed with you on who should be president.

And you don't think she can affect actual change? so who can? Harris? Because, um...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Exactly this. Great post!

Yeah, and remember how mad you all were when she came out and campaigned?

What's really interesting is that even if every person who voted for Jill Stein or any other third-party candidate had voted for Harris instead, Harris still would have lost.

The margin was big enough that, even without third-party candidates, Trump would have still won the popular vote.

Looks like all the trash talk about everyone who supported her or other third parties didn’t pay off, did it? Instead of trying to connect with them and win them over, you pushed them away. You guys def made sure I would never vote democrat ever again.

I like Jill Stein, even tho I didn't vote for her. :)

"While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change," said the Vermont Independent. "And they're right."
