In every battleground state this year, there is at least one third-party or independent candidate on the ballot. The Democrats have been more openly concerned than Republicans.

    That’s all they’re good for.

      Plenty of people are fed up with the Duopoly. If they don’t like that, then maybe they should focus on actually appealing to voters instead of pushing them away.

      Personally, since I’ve been on Lemmy, I’ve become even more turned off by Democrats—the hate and vitriol I’ve seen is worse than anything I’ve encountered from Republicans.

      I didn’t vote for either party when I cast my vote yesterday, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

        Right, because you voted for Pro-Israel candidate Rachele Fruit. Quoted earlier this year:

        And anyone who is interested in reading and learning about the history of Hamas will be convinced that it’s not about liberation. It’s about genocide against the Jews.

            Glad to know where the avowed socialist stands on killing civilians, including women and children, in Gaza and Lebanon. So brave of you.

            EDIT: And evidently proud of it 👇

    Mr. Tamas said this was an overly simplistic view of the 2016 outcome, which he has studied. Many of the people who voted for Ms. Stein were unlikely to have voted for any other candidate. Some would have picked Mr. Trump if she had not been on the ballot.
    The last real spoiler supported by evidence, Mr. Tamas said, was … in 2000

    Silver lining here - all the money the GOP is spending to spoil the election has gone to waste if this is correct.

    Actually, even better,

    it was difficult to determine whether Mr. Trump or Ms. Harris will benefit most.

    Meaning there’s a chance that the GOP spending here turns out to rather ironically help Harris!
