She will participate in a panel discussion on social and policy topics at Hannaford Hall on Oct. 7, the 1-year anniversary of the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
I’ve moved, so now I get to vote for her! Which is also why I started a community, x.com, and Mastadon accounts for the party. Now I can be much more involved. And it’s awesome! :)
If they continue their average of 79.2 submissions to Lemmy a day their submissions will surpass the 6,791 votes that Alyson Kennedy got for running as 2020 presidential candidate for the Socialist Workers Party (United States) on November 2, 2024!
I didn’t write the news article, friend. I just posted it. If you believe any part of the article is inaccurate, I encourage you to reach out to the news organization that published it. If you think the article doesn’t align with the community guidelines, feel free to contact the moderators. Thank you!
I don’t know what you mean. You seemed to have a problem with the article, so I let you know that I didn’t write it and gave you insight on how to rectify your issue with the article.
The idea that only one candidate can beat Trump assumes the current two-party system is unchangeable and doesn’t give people any room to voice dissent.
Instead of falling into the trap of lesser-evil voting, I think that supporting third-party candidates can pressure the major parties to adopt more progressive platforms or even pave the way for alternative political voices to gain real traction over time.
Dismissing third-party votes as wasted just reinforces the limited choices we’re stuck with.
I refuse to support the Duopoly, and honestly, the hostility and bullying I’ve received on Lemmy only strengthens my resolve NOT to vote Democrat.
And tho I respect your opinion, your opinion is exactly what keeps us having a duopoly in power. Because everyone is afraid to make a change or a stand.
Oh, there’s no question the system needs to change, the problem is it’s not one system. It’s 50 + D.C. + territories. Well, 49, Alaska fixed theirs… if they can keep it. I guess there’s a referendum on Alaska’s ballot this cycle to remove it.
Oregon and Nevada are next… Portland already has it for City elections, this will be the first time and it’s frankly, with 118 candidates, looking like a clusterfuck. Going to be super fun voting this year:
But like I say, for the next 41 days, this is the system we have and we’re working within those rules. The winner will be Harris or Trump and, while I agree, Harris is a terrible candidate, she is INFINITELY preferable to Trump.

Well, hey, props from moving from a dead end candidate to an even deader end candidate I guess.
When 1% of the vote is just too mainstream! LOL.

I just posted more stuff. So please update your stats. Thank you!
Yeah, you post more stuff like every eighteen minutes.
Why do you save some time and let me know when you don’t post some propaganda?

How many times do you spam this cop out copypasta per day?

I have a problem with people spamming propaganda on Lemmy eighty times a day, I don’t see an issue with this article.
I chose the candidate who aligns most closely with my values.
Despite the fact that voting for them makes it easier for the person LEAST aligned with your values.
One person can beat Trump, they aren’t a fringe candidate.
Fortunately, none of the states where she’s on the ballot are going to be even close.
Louisiana (8) - Trump (2020 - 58/39 Trump)
Minnesota (10) - Harris (52/45 Biden)
New Jersey (14) - Harris (57/41 Biden)
Tennessee (11) - Trump (60/37 Trump)
Vermont (3, as Independent) - Harris (66/30 Biden)
Washington (12) - Harris (57/38 Biden)

No, it’s that the election system is not going to change in the next 41 days before the election.
So, yes, one person can beat Trump. Kamala Harris. Or, you know, heart disease. Give it 50/50. ;)

And I still refuse to vote for either one of them. Because I’ll be voting for a candidate who I like and who aligns with my values.
