People really need to stop assuming every Stein voter is a stolen Harris vote. I’d rather stay home than vote for Harris.
I suspect the actual pushback is to prevent the Greens from reaching the 5% voter threshold, and making them a more viable party.
Yep.
But you're in lemmy.world, and the commenters here are just looking to pick fights with rational thoughts like yours.
They are scared and are lashing out; I get it. But it's still not okay. Randos telling you you're supporting Trump is disingenuous garbage. They won't care that you still voted in congressional races and local issues.
I appreciate comments such as yours. Please don't be dissuaded from making them in the future.
"Rational thoughts"
"A vote for a third party candidate in an election with two viable candidates doesn't benefit the party I'm least aligned with."
Choose one. Both can't be true.
Ah, shit, I forgot... you lot are awful at understanding how binary decisions work.
Tell me you don't understand a first past the post voting system without telling me.
For real though, you sound like an idealist, a perfectionist, who lets good be the enemy of perfect. I don't think you actually want a conversation - you want others to hear your voice and opinion.
They understand FPTP. They know what they're doing here.
Indeed we do.
This is you. You're the middle path. It's the scenic route to the worst outcome.
You need a few more rail forks downstream represent the groups getting protected by local governments. Which is the reality many states.
Which also allows you to make more informed decisions.
I think it's the 3rd party voters here that are implying that.
Everyone gets downvoted from time to time. In this case the reason is that you’re pro Trump. Perhaps not in philosophy but certainly in action. Which is all that matters.
By that logic, Kamala Harris is pro-Trump for her actions driving away voters.
My favorite bit here is looking at down/up vote ratios and translating that to the upper bound on the worst case scenario for harris.

They've made over 30.
I was permabanned from Reddit today for my lack of sympathy for Liz Cheney. Figured I’d check out lemmy.
Not going well so far. Already banned from politicalmemes for disturbing the pro-Harris echo chamber.
Everyone else is the asshole, right?
Get off lemmy world
There are places where we can live without liberal bullshit, friend
What you’re experiencing is a strong anti-Trump sentiment. Most people realize the way to prevent another Trump presidency is to vote Harris.
Doesn't mean we need to hand it to her though make it hurt in deep blue states.
Funny, I realize I haven't read the words 'echo chamber' since i left reddit some 15 months ago.
I was really surprised to see the election season bots here too. They really don’t want us talking to each other.
But I guess they’re not really hiding the panic now: https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/10/07/hillary-clinton-warns-we-lose-total-control-without-social-media-content-moderation/
