    Surely a party that, on a good day, gets 1% of the vote, and on a bad day, can’t manage to file the right paperwork to get on the ballot, is really what the people want.

    Well, if they are so incompetent and unwanted, then the Democrats shouldn’t worry about them being on the ticket, right? So why are you all so angry about them?

      What this poster doesn’t get is: when the country is divided 50.4 to 49.6, that 1% coming off the Left becomes suddenly VERY meaningful in a FPTP system like the USA. Doubly so when our antiquated electoral system means ties go to the 49.6 party due to gerrymandering. TRIPLY so when the result of that 49.6% controlling our country is Project 2025 and Fascist jackboots on the necks of disadvantaged people here. Keep in mind that there are very real efforts by dishonest actors to puh these memes to further divide the Left and ensure that the Authoritarian jackboots come out. While I won’t (and indeed can’t thanks to Mods tying our hands behind our backs about this effort with rule 3) say that for sure, this post or this poster is part of that effort, I will let the hyperlink above speak for itself and remind you that yes, it is happening.

        What do you mean? Just what is it that are you accusing me of?

          I’ll have to give the poster credit for trying to bait me, but I really don’t have to answer that. I said what I said, reader. Follow the links and look at this poster’s posts (all of them), and make your own conclusions.

            I’ll have to give the poster credit for trying to bait me, but I really don’t have to answer that.

            I wasn’t baiting. You’ve made several comments implying that I’m part of some vast conspiracy, and then you say that ya can’t go into details because you have your “hands tied behind” your back due to mods.

            Honestly, man, sometimes people just don’t agree with you. It doesn’t always have to be a massive conspiracy. Almost everyone on Lemmy disagrees with me every day, but I don’t go around feeling powerless because of it. Lol.

            look at this poster’s posts (all of them), and make your own conclusions.

            Sure, let’s make it easier. Here’s the link to my posts: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

            Most of my posts are about socialist causes because that’s what I believe in and care about. More than once, you’ve said variations of, “Check his posts! Check his posts!” as if that’s some kind of threat or ‘gotcha.’

            But my posts are public, and I stand by all of them. I’ve even shared a link to make it easier for you.

            Seriously, man, calm down. We don’t agree with each other, and that’s fine. No one, including the mods, is tying your hands behind your back.

      This is like saying the dude blocking traffic by wandering around in the street ranting to himself is a “threat to the automobile industry’s power so they must be afraid of him”.

        if the automobile industry takes the matter to the state supreme Court, I would be asking if they’re onto something
