The 2024 election was rigged, by anteefer!

I see we have a case of DDS here

 

[Garraty_47]

So... no commentary on the elections, the DNC, RFK Jr., or Bernie?

All of the above would be on-topic (given the picture in the OP) and potentially lead to this thing those of us with more than one functional synapse call a "conversation". But instead we get what: tangential meaningless prattle and baseless ad hominem attacks?

You people really really suck at this.

This sub isn't dying; it's being murdered.

Why talk to a sneering know it all?

Pointless effort.

I would love to see Charles Palentine run again but I haven't heard anything about him since the 1970's.

.. I will be writing-in my vote or voting third party as usual. It depends on how desperately the poll worker sighs when challenged with doing something extra or unusual.

Re: the primaries - I'll vote for one of the non-winners if the state primary is still meaningful when held....which it usually is not.

You know how those LibiCon partisan hacks are.

Most people do not respond well to obnoxious baiting, good effort tho.

Can you believe he called his DDS, that has been witnessed by all, as ad hom?

If you don't want to engage in conversation the very least you could do as a poster, not to mention a Mod and therefore a representative of the Forum, is refrain from shitting all over the thread.

Or is that level of self-control and just basic civility too much to ask?

I'd love to see Jill Stein run again but I'm also happy with Cornel West.

Careful... that much irony would really hurt if it fell on you.

I'd vote Jill Stein again in an instant if she ran, but will probably go with the Chomsky/Hedges write-in.

It wasn't my intention to get into your feels, I felt I was offering you a simple constructive suggestion, no reason to meltdown over it.

I guess Gayyity wasn't all that interested in a discussion, after all.

Parroty_47 is probably just getting himself a nice tall glass of Kool-Aid.

I think you need to take a deep breath. You are clearly out of sorts. Feel better.

Up and until Trump and Trumpism is destroyed, I cannot throw my vote away. The consequences have been devastating.

You live in CA. The election will not be close there or in my state. There is a bit of luxury involved, on the other hand it does allow for casting a vote for ideas that will not be represented in the next administration.

Yes, I am aware. I voted for Stein before. I don't want to show any support for other candidates so they split the vote in battleground states.

I'm relatively certain that no write-in votes are going to swing the election. It's more of a personal protest vote. A 3rd party vote has different consequence and could get my support depending on who is running. I can't comment at the moment since 1 year is a very long time in politics and the life of any individual. The one certainty is that I will not be supporting any radical conservatives.
