It’s funny how quick you are to accuse others of being pro-Trump when your desperation to defend the duopoly reeks of fear.
You’re terrified of a future where people break free from the chains of this corrupt two-party stranglehold! I don’t believe anything you say.
I see what you are trying to do. It’s pretty obvious you’re scared and worried.
Is this supposed to be an insult? I’d need to be a real piece of shit not to be afraid of doing something that could help trump. I am afraid of any chance for trump, admittedly, and in no way have tried to hide it. It funny to you though, for some mysterious reason… wonder why.
No one buys this logicless claim that I’m trying to help trump by telling people they only have the option of voting for Harris to avoid him.
I posted an article that’s already widely available on a much bigger platform than Lemmy. I didn’t write it or create the content. It’s already out there for anyone to see, so all I did was share it here for discussion. If you disagree with the article itself, that’s fine, but calling for it to be censored or accusing me of pushing an agenda simply because it’s not what you want to read is misguided and lazy. Open debate requires different perspectives, not shutting down content you don’t like.
You aren’t going to break the duopoly by voting 3rd party. All that does is help insure that the viable candidate closest to your views loses.
Breaking the duopoly involves getting ranked choice/instant runoff elections in your area.
Do that and you can vote for whoever you want without actively harming the process.
Asking people to vote 3rd party, particularly in swing states, ONLY helps Trump.

"Trump’s Supporters are Die-Hards. Democrats’ are…not.
Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election was not due to any erosion in support for Donald Trump. Rather, not only did Trump’s raw vote total increase, but in the key states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, Trump’s share of the vote actually increased. The change that made the difference between Hillary Clinton’s loss in 2016 and Biden’s victory in 2020 was the decrease in support for third-party candidates. As a result, Biden’s vote shares were higher in battleground states than Clinton’s, even when Trump’s vote share increased as well."
