Yup. It's getting more difficult every election cycle. I'm highly thinking of sitting it out this time. I can't, with a clear conscious, vote for either of these two.
Yeah, you sure show em. Sitting out. Rebel.
Fucking dumb take.
Yeah, you sheeps are what's fucking up this country. Go fall in line, shut up and vote. Fuck outta here with your bullshit.
lol, sheep. Vote third-party, but for gods sake vote
That's the best idiots like you can do, poke fun of people's grammar while the country is fucking burning. Take that grammer and shove it somewhere to boost your ego a bit more.
I was more laughing at you unironically calling people you don’t agree with sheep; it makes you sound like an angsty teen which your reply has just cemented. Baaaa
Ok cool. Now shut up, fall in line and vote like a bitch. Don't waste my time.
*conscience
To be fair I don't know that I want to be clearly conscious for this election cycle, or for what come after.
Yeah, fuck your grammar/English/vocabulary bullshit. It doesn't add anything to the conversation nor does it fix the shit America is in right now. Take it somewhere where it matters, not here.
What it adds to the conversation is that you're a fucking idiot and you should be aware of it.
Ok cool.here is a trophy 🏆 Now go fuck off and die.
That guy you replied to is an actualcunt by the looks of it. He got very mad at a copypasta. And continued being mad.
There are a ton of fuckers on the Internet
Just vote third party if neither major party suits you. At least that way you're communicating that neither major party is acceptable, and if enough people do that, it's possible the major parties will adjust their policies.
Regardless, sign up for mail voting so you don't have to wait in line. That way you can throw your vote away like me in the comfort of your own home, and then drop it off at a ballot box at your convenience.
Might do that, but there is no fucking way I'm voting for Biden or Trump.
Same. I voted third party before Trump proved to be insane, and I'll do it again.
I'm thinking either Mariann Williamson or West
I'm the opposite, after reading a few profiles, I'm excited to see what Lars Mapstead has to say. He seems reasonably moderate compared to the rest running for the Libertarian nomination, so maybe he'd be okay. I hope Spike Cohen runs as well.
I'm also interested to see what Marianne Williamson has to say, but I'm not a fan of several of her proposals, though I like a number of them as well. I want to watch her debate so I can get a feel for which proposals she's going to base her campaign around.
I'm not a fan of Cornel West whatsoever, though I'll give him a chance to convince me. I think he'll just steal votes from the Dem nominee (he's running independent, no), which means Trump gets a better shot, but I guess we'll see if that's a thing.
All in all, I'm not liking this year's roundup. But as long as Trump loses, I'm happy.
How fucking dare you think and decide for yourself. The fucking herd is going to eat you alive. You HAVE to fall in line, shut up and vote for whatever democrat is the nominee, it doesn't matter if they're a terrible fucking candidate, they're not a Republican and that's all that matters, right?. They're going to downvote you to death not knowing that downvoting doesn't mean shit on Lemmy. Fucking good for you for having a god damn brain. I honestly have so much respect for people like you who are not sheep.
Yup, same happened on Reddit as well. It's like me not wanting to vote for the Democrat automatically means I like the Republican. That's stupid.
I really dislike both major parties, and the vote spread in my area is such that it really doesn't matter who I vote for, so I see no point in voting for a candidate I dislike. If Democrats want me to vote for them, they need to improve their policies. It's really that simple.
So who ate the soggy biscuit?
Well, I'm pretty sure votes are public, so you can always satisfy that curiosity.
The two of you are circlejerking so only you two know which one ate it.
How would public votes help?
I thought you were talking about the people down voting our comments, which I thought were quite constructive. I didn't care about down votes on Reddit and I certainly don't care here, but it seems strange to only get down votes and pretty much nothing in the way of discussion.
I'm open to voting for good candidates regardless of party, and I thought I made that pretty clear. It's odd to me that's somehow an unpopular opinion.
You do you, I’m not doing this with you, buds.
You didn’t answer my question though.
