    Looks like UniversalMonk is just embracing and celebrating this obviously bullshit Green Party shitshow now.

      But they’re not even voting for Jill! So the propaganda they post is okay.

        I didn’t write the article, and I don’t think it’s propaganda.

        If you feel its propaganda, you’re free to bring it up with the news org that produced the article. Thank you, friend! :)

        What woke-free candidate are you voting for?

            Oh man, are you really prepared to take on the responsibility of being the third person in the country to vote for her? That’s a lot on your shoulders, it could really turn the tide.

            You might singlehandedly raise her percentage from less than 1% all the way up to less than 1%

              Well if only 3 people vote for her, then there shouldn’t be any anger or worrying just because I posted an article. Right?

                It’s a distraction, and you know it.

                  You were implying that she’s not getting enough votes to matter.

    I don’t blame Nader so much for 2000 - it’s possible if he dropped out and endorsed Gore (who went very green in the environmental sense soon after) then Gore could have won, but I see the stopping of the recount of Florida and the issues with the butterfly ballots as bigger problems.

    As for Ross Perot, I believe he did ensure a (Bill) Clinton win over Bush Sr, but since I swing Dem anyways this was a good thing.

    In fact that kinda shows how unlikely 2016 would have been - since Bush Sr, how many times has the same party won the White House three times in a row? None. In fact it would have been rare before then too, as explained by https://www.thoughtco.com/two-consecutive-democratic-presidents-3368109

    Of course 2024 is very different from 2016, and those differences lead me to be very optimistic, spoilers aside.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
