Came here to say this. Dude routinely misgenders and deadnames his daughter and claims that she died from “the woke mind virus”, then he turns around and tries to pull this shit.

Sure, but the chances of that happening should be slim now.

Harris was quick to publicly voice support for the dockworkers, and their strike got the negotiations rolling again in only a couple days. This seems to be more than just escaping bad publicity, to me, it looks like decidedly good publicity. Especially when you contrast it with trump praising musk for firing workers trying to organize and saying he scammed his own employees out of overtime pay.

lUkE sHoUlD eArN mY vOtE!!! You won’t shame me into voting for him! I don’t care if Vader wins - not my fault! Lalalalala not listening! Down with the duopoly! We will just become ungovernable! Anyone else here voting for Lando?

There did I hit all the points? U••••••••M••• or L•••••B••• want to chime in and let me know if I missed anything?

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Is there a TL;DR for people who don’t feel like giving traffic to either of those dogshit websites?

You can’t call any of them by name, unlike Beetlejuice. You have to post something positive, even mildly so, about the Harris/Walz campaign. Then all the little rats come scurrying over to tell you how you’re a genocide stan and any real American should be voting for Cornoliverill Stein de la Fruit, and it’s definitely not because daddy Putin said so.

Cool. Not everyone does and advocating protest voting can have an effect outside that of your individual vote. Your move, genius.

With literally zero infrastructure or organizational capabilities.

They have absolutely no ground game, and just expect to throw a fist in the air and say “rise up comrades, who’s with me!?”, and then go full on surprised Pikachu when nobody takes them up on that offer.

These people need therapy and mood stabilizers.

Yeah, like I said, critical thinking is in short supply for that crowd.

No. Critical thinking skills preclude even entertaining the notion of voting third party, because critical thinking skills would lead one to comprehend how FPTP and the EC work, and realize the all-but-guaranteed mathematical impossibility of electing a third party president.

Anyone who proudly proclaims to vote third party is one of the following, without exception:

  • an uninformed idealist, aka a useful idiot
  • a bad actor
  • an entitled jackass with zero disregard for the effects of their actions

In any of these cases, I wouldn’t trust these people with a butter knife let alone a ballot. But that’s not my call, so I call them out for what they are.

E: forgot a word

I’m ok with all of that. It furthers my goal of hitting the platform back in response to their predatory marketing practices and de facto monopoly. Also, I do support creators outside of youtube. In short, I don’t feel bad about any of this.

 
 
 

Yes I’m brand new. Also yes, I am still on S1.
