If someone by now isn’t concerned about defeating Trump, there’s literally nothing we can do about it other than to call them out for being a shitbag for voting 3rd party.
It must be nice to have the luxury of making a protest vote. They must think their life wouldn’t change either way.
Hey don’t get me wrong I think his decision of voting for a third party is really really really stupid, I don’t think we disagree here.
But the political discourse in the current time is dead, and it’s polarisation that killed it. There can be no healthy democracy in an environment where opponents are not seen as dignified people who you disagree with.
I’m doing my part here to keep democracy alive. This guy is somebody who has ideas I find to be very wrong, but is still a guy like me and you who is doing the best he can like me and you, albeit misguidedly.
I can appreciate that. And it’s exactly how I feel. People seem to have forgotten how to agree to disagree. And like you, I think that’s why the country is so divided.
I have friends of all political flavors. That’s the beauty of democracy!
Thank you, and sorry of all the downvotes and accusations you’re going to get for not automatically hating me! :)
Yep, doesn’t change the facts tho. And doesn’t change that fact that there are plenty of other people who’ll be voting third party as well. Name calling may not be the best way to approach things. But you do you. Thanks! :)
Fuck you for not voting against Trump.
He literally posts vote-third-party slop in the lemmy.world politics community all the time. He’s either paid, 100% pro-Trump, or a useful idiot.
They’re a MAGA troll. They voted directly for Donald.
I’m allowed to vote for whoever I want to. As are you. Thank you! :)
Yes, you are free to vote for whoever you want to and I’m free to call you a shithead for not voting against Trump.
I’d also like to second the shit head comment.
Yeah that will change his mind, what kind of reasonable individual wouldn’t be swayed by calling them a shithead.
You should consider joining one of those things where they call people on the phone to make them vote, just please do it for the republicans.

“Not being polite to fascists is the real problem!”
Fuck you too.
Thanks for proving my point, fuck you as well if that’s what you want
Your point that not being polite enough to fascists is the real problem?
I don’t think I proved that point.
Classy. And proving their point. Good job!

I don’t care if Trump wins. I also don’t care if Harris wins. I didn’t vote for either one. Thank you! :)
“Reasonable individual,” ha.
Thank you!

And no one’s stopping you from wearing your red hat, either.
True. If I wanted to wear my red hat, I could. No laws against it. No rules against it. Thank you, friend! :)
I’m not your fwiend. Buddy.
