Thanks for the clarification. A lot of people are saying that he may run for president in 2028, so i think we'll be hearing a lot more about him.

Brah, just because you don't think Newsom is a Democrat, doesn't mean he's not. He himself claims he's a democrat and that's what his political affiliation is.

Then you don't have a lot of say in how we vote here. You're gettting all you news from the pro-Duopoly slop stirrers. I've been voting third party for over 20 years, and I'll keep on voting third party. :)

yep, I didn't like Biden either. The only way I would vote Dem over third party is if was Bernie from a few years ago. And maybe, maybe AOC this time around.

But I find it hilarous how much Lemmy hates me because I voted third party, when the real issue was most people didn't even vote. lol

That is a great response tho! lol

Yep. I know that may make you mad, but I'll keep advocating 3rd party.

I was pushing third-party voting before it was “cool.” Now a lot more of Lemmy’s fine with it, mostly because people are fed up with both major parties. But I was saying it before the election.

Back then people here lost their shit. They claimed I was a pro-Trump Russian troll sitting in a warehouse, typing on Lemmy (!) to dodge the front lines of the war. One guy, who later turned into a stalker, even said I was getting paid in “Russian bitcoinz.” Many said that I was on Trumps campaign. lmao

They swore I was only pushing third-party votes to swing the election. That makes no sense. First, Lemmy isn’t big enough to sway any national race. Second, even if every single person who supported a third party had voted for Harris, she still would have lost. The margin of Trump voters and non-voters was too wide.

Do I think Trump is better than Harris? No. That’s why I didn’t vote for him.

I voted Socialist Workers Party. I considered the Green Party at first, but the SWP fit my beliefs better. And before anyone calls me a “Tankie,” I don’t even know what a tankie is. I backed SWP because their platform was pro–workers’ rights, plain and simple.

In fact, I created the Socialist Workers Party lemmy community BEFORE the election in 2024. Here's proof: !swp@sh.itjust.works

All my posts on .world are still there. My post history here is still here. I also have a community where I post news links from any news source of any political leanings. But by far, most of my posting are and always have been pro-union and pro-workers rights articles.

I've also had articles published in the Socialist Workers Party newspaper and other pro-union publications, but somehow Lemmy still says I'm pro-Trump. All because I didn't bow down to the Biden/Harris Lemmy bullies. LMAO

Was never 100's of communities. In fact, I think they are still up.

.world people were actually mad because I advocated voting third party. I voted Socialist party and you all got mad because you think it caused Trump to win.

Which is hilarious, because even if every single third party voter would have voted Harris, Trump still would have won. That's how big his margin was. lol

And you are still salty. And I still stand behind my vote and will vote third party in the next election too.

Thanks, friend! :)

No. People hate me because I advocated voting 3rd party. And I voted Socialist party. That really really made .world mad since it was election time. But antiyanks is in a whole other world. I have no idea what his deal is.

My marbles are indeed intact. So far, so good. Nice of you to notice. Thanks, friend!

They have nothing in common though, so how does that work? Unless Andrew Yang has sold out or something.

Andrew Yang is the guy who really needs to do the third party thing. I know he tried, but it hasn't accomplished a lot.

From last month, but still an interesting watch. Really great topics brought up!
