I voted socialist. Most of Lemmy hated me for it. And that made me even more proud that I did. Fuck the duopoly!
Liberals’ tantrums are poems to our ears
Yep!
Kinda tempted to make this my first social media post in like 5 years
Do it!!!
I’m very far from us politics and Claudia may possibly be a lib (i don’t actually know).
So I’m wondering why I haven’t seen more of this on hexbear. There’s been a lot of dunking on the one-but-two parties, but not much discussion on third parties? I could also be wrong here, I only see things that make their way through Lemmy to lemmygrad
We’ve had quite a few posts about , but the fact of the matter is most of us don’t give a shit about electoral politics in the imperial core.
Their coverage has been intermittent on HB and LG. Mostly in comments, not many dedicated posts.
I pulled bullet points from their political platform for 2024. If you go to the linked page, they expand on each point in more detail.

The two party system is so dominant in the US that a tie is more likely than a third party winning any state - it hasn’t happened since 1968. Personally, Id be thrilled to see a PSL or Green win, but it’s not even really worth the effort of voting.
That’s only true on the national level though, local elections can have a pretty big impact on your life and third parties perform better.
if you live in California or New York or any super ‘Blue’ state, it can’t hurt.
It also can’t hurt if you live in any other state
Nuh-uh! 3rd party bad, steal good blue votes, put bad orange man in power, end world for next four years!
Exactly what the admins on .world told me right before they banned one of my usernames from the entire instance! lmao
