You asked where the left candidates are. I told you.

So, how does that show that voting for Stein is the same as not voting?

Duverger's Law just explains how the system works. It doesn't tell you who you should vote for.

You might not like that FPTP results in this, but that’s how math works.

Again, using the same logic, a vote for Harris in a blue state is the same as not voting.

"The math" says that it's impossible for my state to be anything but blue.

There's a Green Party candidate every election.

ignore mathematics existing and vote third party which is a fancy way of not voting

I live in a blue state. Using this logic, my vote for Harris is the same as not voting, because my state is going to go blue regardless. It's mathematics.

I don't think that Dick is a fan of Harris, but he's doing the calculus a lot of voters are doing: voting for the lesser evil.

Cheney is endorsing his own interests, and only his, and the interests of a wealthy conservative war monger will never align with yours,

If Cheney and I are both in a rowboat and the rowboat is heading for the rapids, I would say that our interests are aligned.

How can you leave when they're in your country?

They're afraid of the repercussions.

You mean "mould"

Do you know what website you're on?

American exceptionalism always made me cringe, but it makes me cringe more the older I get. I hate how presidential candidates feel like they have to call the US the most powerful, the greatest, and so on.

There are stories about people who attempt suicide and fail, so they're disabled and/or disfigured now. The crazy thing is that they're still alive. They didn't attempt it a second time. What that tells me is that suicide is something that temporarily grips you, and if you have the ability to cope somehow without killing yourself, things get better. Or maybe things don't get better, but you no longer want to die over it.

There are guys out there with half their face gone because they missed, and they decided that life was worth living.

No idea. I don't see anything about it on the first page.

This was debunked back when it came up in 2017 (?) There's a good article about it here. The summary is that Stein was there in a diplomatic role. You know, as presidential candidates do. The Senate Intelligence Committee investigated her and found no wrongdoing.

A campaign spokesperson told Newsweek that Stein "attended at her own expense to spread a message of peace and diplomacy" and gave a speech in Moscow "in which she criticized the excessive militarism of both Vladimir Putin and U.S. leaders."

Speaking to The Intercept in 2017, she said the notion that it was an "intimate roundtable" was "mythology," and that Putin and his associates "weren't at the table for very long." Stein said that "nobody introduced anybody to anybody" and that she "didn't hear any words exchanged between English speakers and Russians" due to the lack of a translator.

Stein said that Putin had appeared to make a speech and left immediately after. "Nobody cared to make introductions. This wasn't intended to be a discussion of any sort," she told the outlet.

Several weeks ago, AOC did a huge post about how Biden can't be replaced because of back-room stuff that we don't know about, and besides, the Republicans would sue and it would be a huge disaster, etc. Of course, she fell in line once Biden actually did get replaced. It's hard to take her seriously with stuff like that.

I'm not at all surprised that Stein is more popular than Harris, but...DAMN, what did Cornel West do?!

The article says that previously Muslims supported Trump at 5% and Cornel West at 25%. Now they support Trump at 11% and West at 4%!

How does Donald Trump have almost 3 times the support?

What she actually said was that she would fight for a ceasefire and sovereignty for Palestine...but without a weapons embargo. This raises the question: If you refuse to use the only thing you have leverage on, what good is your support?

I don't think that Harris has a plan. She might be more pro-Palestine than Biden, but without an embargo, she'll be just as ineffectual. I don't think that the US can do anything to stop the genocide except to quit sending Israel the money and weapons that they're using to commit the genocide.

Vanilla Arch?

And I like having my software up-to-date. It sucked ass when I was on Mint and one of my favorite programs had an update and I had to wait months for it to hit the repos.

That's what snapshots are for.
