Exactly, thank you! People went back to voting republican again since there was no Roosevelt to split the vote! Now you’re getting it!

Uuuh, splitting hairs on my choice of words. The republican party split into two and so did the votes. The fact that I said “stole” wasn’t part of the point. And ofc you’re gonna say it’s impossible to know…

It’s just a coincidence that in 1908 it was 6.4m vs 7.7m votes (dems and republicans respectively) and in 1912 it was 6.3m vs 3.5m + 4.1m (Dems vs republicans and progressives respectively)

Yeah, the numbers stayed more or less the same except the republican vote got split. But yeah, that’s just a coincidence, we have no way of knowing!

Here. This is how your system actually works. Not how you believe it to work. Wilson won with less than 42% of the votes because a third party managed to be popular enough to split the votes and stole enough votes from Taft. This is what would happen if people actually listened to you. Thank fuck they don’t.

Can confirm. Had a 16 year old work part time with me for a few weeks over the summer. Pretty cool kid, but yeah… Trump came up a couple times and both times he just repeated the bullshit that he’d heard from his parents. Sad shit.

Second highest office, but with less power than a random senator, as I’ve said. You’ve brought it up by implying that she’s in power now and she’s not doing anything with that power. And I’m telling you and everyone reading that it’s bullshit because despite the name and ranking, she’s powerless. Can’t even vote in the Senate.

Presides over the Senate, but can’t even vote in it. Unless there’s a tie. And she’s an advisor to the president. Literally less actual power than a random senator.

And then you get offended when people call you russian bots. You’re either knowingly or unknowingly spreading misinformation. In the end, the result is the same.

How do you know I’m not?

Might wanna change your tactics then, bud. Your work doesn’t seem to be paying off. The US has never been further from a worker state.

I’m sure lemmy.ml will be able to do what nobody has been able to do in the 200+ year history of the US and make third parties relevant! Great job! /s

The meme is that you’re supposed to try to improve the system in between elections, not just throw away your vote every 4 years and call it a day

What makes wow a basic bitch?

Also, I think they went with it because it’s popular and apparently walz has a history with it.

Yup

It’s twitch. Go on any channel with above 500-1000 viewers and it’ll all be the same. Unless it’s a super modded channel with sub-only and slow mode and shit. Even then you get quite a bit of spam

I think all the games that do this are annoying. We’re not stupid, we can come up with an acronym for your name. It’s silly, I know, but it made me not want to play FTL: faster than light for a long time.

What a bunch of horseshit.

At best, third party voting has led to splitting votes and Woodrow Wilson winning despite having only 41% of the votes and at worst, it’s done absolutely nothing.

This is why a vote for third party is a vote for trump. Because no trump supporter is gonna vote third party. If you’re voting third party, it means one less vote for Harris which means less smaller chance of her winning which means higher chance of trump losing. Anyone saying otherwise is either dumb as fuck or is purposefully trying to split the votes to help trump win.

Objectively speaking she can dance and keep a crowd going while still hitting her notes. It doesn’t matter if you don’t enjoy the music, she’s objectively doing a good job. You critiqued her singing, not her music.

It’s ok to not like something, you know. Pretending they’re not good is pretty weird tho.

Thanks <3

I was just answering a question with information I have gathered reading comments around here. Even the way I phrased it didn’t really include myself. Not sure why you inferred that I was so angry. If anything, your response is angry.

Harris said that as president, she would maintain the US alliance with Israel and “ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself.”

To most people that sounds like she’ll keep sending weapons which will then be used to murder Palestinians.

Main issue for most people is the fact that she’s not trying harder to stop Israel from killing Palestinians.
