Here’s the thing: A big, multi-issue campaign — the kind that wins elections — is more like a bus than an Uber. It’s probably not going to pick you up exactly where you are and drop you off exactly where you want to go.
You might not think that’s ideal. But you shouldn’t take a bus in the wrong direction out of spite — or sit on the curb and go nowhere.Now this is brilliant. I'm going to use this for sure.

Who knows what the Republican party will be post-trump. I don't think it makes sense to run to a 3rd party just yet for them. And no one is following a Cheney to improve the lives of Americans.

Agreed.

So just another Conservative Party then? Or will it be astroturfing again like a repeat of the Tea Bagger movement?
-
The former. The latter wasn't really independent - and recent US political history would be quite different if it were. (Can you imagine if the GOP and a separate "Tea Party" had separate parties and then ran different candidates in the general election?)
The one time I can like FPTP - if this happens in the way that I want (with the GOP basically splitting) then it'd likely mean many more Dems wins across the board thanks to the conservative vote getting split.

In the fifty-five days since this account was created it had made four thousand, four hundred and forty-two submissions.
This averages out to one every seventeen minutes and fifty seconds twenty-four hour a day, seven days a week.
In the 453 days that the @SatansMaggotyCumFart account has been active, it has made eight thousand two hundred and 25 submissions to Lemmy, which is on average eighteen posts every single day!
Thanks for adding that graphic showing that even the mods agree I haven’t done anything that warrants a ban! Glad to have that cleared up!
In fact, they said "The links they post are legitimate links from respected sources" right there in your graphic.
I'm also about to post some more stuff, so please be sure to update the stats. Thank you! :)
This is my favorite line from it!
