    The JillStein Bot explaining why Joe Biden shouldn’t be allowed to be the next president, really not updating their talking points

    • No, they’re just super efficient and very good at planning. They know that Joe Biden can technically still be president for another term, so they’re heading him off on his 2028 comeback run. /s

      Ps hello fellow lawyer.

    This is the first real meal I had in years.

    Said someone who lives off popcorn! 🍿

    I’m not judging you though. I used to love this sort of drama. (I still do, a bit.)

    Wow, I only briefly perused and that was a bloodbath. Hard to imagine how she might have imagined that going any better.

    You’ll notice politicians largely stopped doing AMAs back in 2016 when /r/The_Donald completely swamped the system. Given the degree to which Reddit is a system by and for bot-farms, Jill was sticking her foot squarely into a bear trap just by setting this up.

    Blue MAGA having a collective meltdown is a sight to behold.

    “Let me ignore Democrats being fully bankrolled by israel. And committing literal Genocide. I have this 10 year old picture where Putin is on the other side of a table you are sitting at”

      Yes, here are the MAGA B-team campaigners on Lemmy, self-aware they are supporting a vile cult and so pretending “Blue MAGA” is a thing. Your main campaigners on larger platforms like reddit don’t even know who the Dem candidate is, but they are serious candidates we should take seriously, for some reason.

      Funny, I often run into the most combative people with “ACKCHYUALLY” attitudes when speaking to libertarians. Republican Pot Smoking Edition models of political worldview tend to try very hard to defend their very nuanced mental gymnastics of being able to be a little empathetic on the surface socially while still turning their back on those less fortunate in actions.

    American democracy is fucked because the voters themselves stoped believing that the two party system is bad.

    You can’t be critical of both parties at once. One is evil, another is pure love.

      Oooh no, don’t you clump all of us together. A LOT of us fucking despise the two party system for the trash heap it is.

      The two party system is hot flaming garbage.

      In order for ranked choice voting on a national level to get incorporated, the elected officials have to vote to change the system that put them in power. Neither of the two parties’ politicians wants that, since it would then be easier for someone else to potentially beat them, so it doesn’t happen.

        Notable differences between Stein and Harris:

        • opposes genocide in Gaza
        • opposes fracking
        • stronger on the environment
        • approves of single payer healthcare
        • approves of tuition free colleges for all
        • wants to slash our bloated military budget

        I live in a blue state and will be voting Green to try to build momentum for third parties and STAR voting. I do hope Trump is defeated and thrown in jail, and I’d reconsider my vote if I lived in a purple state.

            Voting blue in a solid blue state for a candidate I have huge moral issues with (Palestine, climate change) is the definition of throwing my vote away.
