Because on Lemmy, posters think EVERYTHING is politics. lmao
lololol Yeah...right...
This. Is. Beautiful.
I want one!
Pretty much how Lemmy thinks! lmao
Odds even better from a brand-spankin’ new 1-month-old account,
Obivously you didn't look at my profile where I listed my accounts. My original account is Lemmy.today. Then it was lemmings.world, but it's closing. So I created this one. I am not a new 1-month-old account.
All that info is right in my profile.
I have been on Lemmy for 3 years, bub.
I think I’d bet money I did, in fact.
So you bet money that someone on Lemmy who says they are not a republican, is a republican? Um...doubt it. But if true, you are taking Lemmy way too seriously.
Again tho, if I were republican, wouldn't it be better for me to vote Republican? Why would I vote third party if I were a republican? Seems kinda the long way around, don't you think?
No you didn't. If I were Republican I would have voted Republican. Why would I do a roundabout voting thing, rather than just vote Republican if I wanted a Republican to win?
It’s essentially unknowable, because the moment we remove third party votes, we can’t say for certain that margins the major parties would’ve ended up with
But you didnd't say that in your reply to me. You specifically said, "Disproving your point technically" and "but rather to refute your point that Trump would’ve won without the third party voters."
Also, I think it is knowable by numbers. I specifically said that if all the people who voted third party in 2024 prez election had voted for Harris instead, she still would have lost the election. The numbers show it.
We don't base it on popular vote and NEVER have. It's Electoral votes. Now I wish we went by popular vote. And I'm all for going by popular vote. But that hasn't happened yet, and wasn't a reality in 2024, which is the time frame for my example.
I'm behind ya on wanting popular vote. But you were incorrect in you orginal reply by implying that my statement was wrong. The numbers prove it.
The popular vote/electoral vote argument has been happening during every election in my lifetime. I ready for that to change, but that doesn't make my statement or facts incorrect.
Harris lost to Trump by such a large margin, that even if 3rd party voters had voted for her instead, Trump still would have won.
If you wanna point fingers, point them at non-voters. That's what would have changed the election.
Yep, and claim that we're Russian bots and Propaganda Bots...all because we use facts. lol
Yep. Dems have been running on, "but, but...but our candidate isn't republican" strategy for so long. And they still haven't changed.
And from some of the comments in this thread, they are supported in doing that. So they'll keep fucking it up. lol
I'll happily admit I'm wrong if they put AOC forward as pres candidate. If they don't put AOC in there, then I'll keep voting third party.
I also truly hope the uncommitted No Vote / Third Party voters complicit in his election (I think I’ll call them Maga-lite at this point) have learned a thing or two since last election, too.
I'm a third party voter. And I did learn something. That I was right. I'll be voting third-party again to. Dems suck. Republicans suck. I vote for who I want to win, not against who I don't want to win.
I quit the whole rat race. Early retirement with pension. It's way better on this side of things. And I never had the nice tech jobs that made most of lemmy rich anyway (even tho you all complain about being poor--$85K+ is rich for most people, guys). But at least I don't have to work anymore. :)
