    Not an American, but yikes does this have “Vote with us… Or else!” vibes.

    That’s not to say I support Trump, but I personally don’t think this is the way to convince fence-sitters at all.

      Entirely agree. The people responsible for trump getting votes are the people voting for Trump.

      Tactical voting is bullshit of the highest order and the undeniable sign of a fucked up political and voting system, not some sort of political astuteness.

      If your voting system can’t allow people to express their true choice, you should throw it away. Yes, that means the majority of voting systems around the world are bad and need to be changed. Getting people to recognise that this is even an issue in the first place is a huge battle.

        Only one party has implemented ranked choice while the other has fought against it. That would be a great first start.

          That’s not quite the case. Ranked choice voting is resisted by whichever party has a comfortable majority in any given state where it is on the ballot. That’s why it failed when it was on the ballot in Massachusetts during the previous presidential election, because it is a reliably blue state and ranked choice voting would only serve to disrupt that status quo.

          I still voted in favor of it, but that’s how it went down.

    not trying to start anything. Not even American. But I think Donald trump will win this one. Just because there’s so many crazy trump people. I love the people here at lemmy but this is the only place I see people talking shit on trump. Almost everywhere else I go it’s crazy trumpers and they are all avid voters. I hope Harris wins for the good of humanity but I just don’t think it’s gonna happen unless a bunch of young people actually go out and vote. It’s the south park turd Sandwhich giant douche thing all over again anyway. We’re fucked.

    As non-american I agree you guys should definitely vote Harris, despite Dems being terrible Trump would absolutely be worse on each topic Dems are bad. That being said, rethoric of this post is straight up facist. Using threats of personal consequences for “wrongly” exercising ones right to vote is wild.

    No, the blame lies squarely on the DNC for deliberately ignoring the loud and clear message from third party voters that genocide is a red line in the sand. The blame further lies with the liberals supporting a decaying Empire and never lifting a finger to help anyone, just showing up at the ballot box every 4 years while the US commits manmade horrors beyond comprehension.

    Join an org, like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) or Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), this mess can’t be undone by supporting the Dems harder.
