They are still in Russia. They moved on to fucking with the German election now I believe.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 47 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I wish they'd promote the Green party here.
But with our voting system they have to promote the nazis directly.
Which they are unfortunately doing very successfully, along with fucking Elon Musk.

America, could you please keep your billionaires to yourself? They're annoying as hell.

Can’t we just return him to South Africa? We don’t really want him either

The Harris and Trump promoters also suddenly went quiet the day after the election.

What did you expect? The election cycle do be like that.

I wish the Trump supporters would go silent.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 19 points 6 months ago

No they didn't lol there were topics about the election results immediately after, and for probably two weeks at least.

If those "green voters" actually gave a shit about getting their candidate elected, you'd hear from them for more than 2 months every 4 years.

But no, that was never the goal. Their goal was for Trump to win

The election is over, did you expect them to keep telling you to vote 3rd party when there is no election to vote for them in? Perhaps you noticed that all the "Vote Harris" commercials stopped too?

Narrator: The Stein cicada has gone back underground to hibernate 4 more years. She will eventually resurface to make her cicada noises next election cycle

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 41 points 6 months ago

Still advocating for state level electoral reform so people can vote outside the two party system with no spoiler effect.

Why are you okay with people being unrepresented with their options in the voting booth? Don't you support democracy?

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 41 points 6 months ago

They still pop up now and again when they want to justify why Trump being elected was better than the filthy LIBERAL getting into office.

Which, itself, is a bit funny considering that third parties didn't have much influence on that.

Now's the exact time to promote third parties.

[-] lengau@midwest.social 18 points 6 months ago

Any third party that's actually trying to build a coalition and provide viable candidates would absolutely be working overtime right now.

If there actually were any. The only reason we hear about them ever is to promote spoiler candidates. Most are entirely funded by the GOP.

"Hey, let's vote for a candidate who literally cannot win from a party that hasn't done the necessary work to become nationally viable because I don't want to be part of the two party problem even though if we do so it will guarantee that a felon rapist who incited an insurrection, stripped women of a human right, and illegally attempted to overturn an election will win." - Dipshit 3rd Party Voters

Just as stupid as Trump supporters, as far as I'm concerned.

Well, they got what we told them they'd be getting. Why aren't they celebrating?

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

But you're SUPPORTING GENOCIDE when you vote for the candidate most likely to get the fewest people killed! While the people of Palestine are about to be annihilated, my own right to marry is about to be taken away, and all of my trans friends are going to lose access to the drugs that keep them from killing themselves, I can rest easy knowing that I didn't engage with the system at all

OTOH, been seeing lots of posts brought to you by the "democrats don't need to change, it's the voters who are wrong" gang.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

The voters voted in Trump again so maybe there’s something there.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 16 points 6 months ago

That’s what I get stuck on every time. Yeah, the democrats are useless and need to make big changes. They carry a lot of blame. But it’s not just people being fed up with their useless asses. The voters turned out in big numbers to vote FOR Trump. We expected the results to take a long time and be contentious again, but the morning after Election Day his victory was already clear.

It’s just… sad? Discouraging?

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 12 points 6 months ago

Extremely discouraging. I'm still incredulous that he got re-elected, and moreso that the democrats managed to fuck it up bad enough to lose to that fucking guy again

I mean, yeah, sure. There's a lot of fucking scumbag MAGA people. There's also a lot of people who pay almost no attention to politics at all and have a lot of problems.

Quick! In one sentence, summarize Kamala's campaign pitch. If you did it without mentioning Trump or Biden, I'm impressed, good job, I'm pretty interested in what you came up with. Now, do Trump. Probably something stupid like "you'll be winning so much" or whatever, right? If you knew nothing at all about politics, which one sounds better? For someone who isn't paying attention, maybe distrusts all politicians equally (for better or worse), probably Trump's. Of course, he's going to be fucking catastrophic for anyone who isn't a billionaire, but I'm just talking campaign pitches. The point is that the democrats need to take this opportunity to get their shit together and start working on a better pitch than "not Trump".

This is like the ~2 month period in between US election spam, I quite enjoy it. I really don't need 12 months a year of yanks bitching about their idiotic government.

If someone was bored enough they could go find the most popular posts from the election cycle and create a list of people pushing what agenda and then track how many of those accounts are suddenly inactive today.

They went the same place the people who raved that any critics of Biden/Harris were cloaked Trump supporters or Russian bots.

Theyre still here, just posting about things that aren't politics.

Jill Stein received less than 1% of the vote. Scapegoat someone else.

Yea I did what Bernie did… vote for Democrats in the election because it was the opinion closer to my own beliefs. I’m a registered NPA at this point because I find the DNC embarrassing to be affiliated with.

For the most part I’m a democratic socialist. I’ll be supporting those types of candidates get elected as just regular Democrats, because (for the people in the back) THE USA CURRENTLY HAS A TWO PARTY SYSTEM!

Well if they weren't banned id suppose they are doing the same as the other supporters of other parties?

"I don't see anyone voting for Democrats right now, they must have been turned off by the Kremlin!"

[-] Kaput@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Canadian here,I still think it a good idea to start now. Harris could have been elected you would still need a third party or fifth. I believe Americans have been brain washed against it being even possible.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

It isn’t possible without getting rid of the Electoral College.

But the chances of that were also flushed down the drain.
