Hmm.. I wonder why a certain user who’s been posting non-stop about third-party candidates for the entire lifespan of their account chose to ignore this particular article. One would assume it’s important for the voting public to know about this, no?

Here, I'll channel my energy into a representative comment so you don't feel left out.

"I'm not voting for her. You're free to vote for whoever you want."

"I didn't write the article."

<insert 40 paragraph spiel about fairness and lemmy always attacking them boo hoo>

You forgot to call me “friend” and channel punchable face energy with one of these 🤗 but I’ll give you an A for effort.

Who are you referring to? I'm debating some "Harris needs to earn my vote. So it's her fault if Trump wins." idiots right now.

[–] elliot_crane 7 points 55 minutes ago

Unfortunately if I name this person there’s a good likelihood this discussion gets removed since the rules prohibit calling out bad faith actors, even the painstakingly obvious ones. So I’ll leave you with this: you needn’t look far to find that which you seek.

I don’t know about you, but I’m saving this post for future citations.

[–] elliot_crane 4 points 1 hour ago

Solid plan.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

It's almost like people argue in bad faith on the internet. Fancy that!

[–] elliot_crane 1 points 1 hour ago

I can't laugh heard enough about this.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 15 points 2 hours ago

Someone should cross post this to a certain Satanist’s page.

[–] 9tr6gyp3 15 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunate.

Luckily, I can still hear laughs.

[–] baronvonj 1 points 1 hour ago

ERMAGHERD dat typo!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 hours ago

Hahahaha. Of course he did.

Can we all finally agree that supportingJill Stein is being the 11th person at the table?

The grandest

Best endorsement dems could hope for, really.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

How is he still alive? He has been an annoying public figure since the 80s.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 minutes ago

Dem think-tank funded healthcare.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I see this more as a loss of support for Trump, just like the many Republican endorsements for Harris. It doesn't change Stein's chances either way, and who supports someone is more a sign of how that person leans, not the candidate.

What will be interesting (but again, inconsequential) is how Stein will treat this. Ignore? Simple thanks? A rally to try and pull more of those who would follow him? (I think some will see where I'm going there)

Right? Imagine Trump not being racist enough for David Duke. I bet he'd be really mad if he weren't straight vibin
