Dems gave up on the working class after nafta and have stayed that way ever since

Defending the US is defending an evil imperial death machine. You just can't see that because the death machine benefits you

The US collapsing is in the world's best interest. If the collapse of the US causes chaos then it's what the US deserves for causing chaos everywhere else for so many decades

Is it ok if I criticize the current president?

Is he currently the president? Does he care who wins this election?

Biden cares more about Israel than the outcome of this election. He would rather lose to trump than stand up to Bibi

We respect those who feel they simply can’t vote for a member of the administration that sent the bombs that may have killed their loved ones

Try explaining this to .ee, .world

A third party getting 5% of the nation wide vote qualifies them for federal election funding next election.

Voting 3rd party is enacting change

Huh? "the west" has been sending tons of weapons, ammo, & equipment to help Ukraine the whole time. I think that counts as sending more than just "letters of warm regard"

In politics the rich absolutely decide what our "viable" options are. Campaigns take a lot of money and politicians spend most of their time on the phone with rich people making promises in exchange for money.

It is possible for the poor to overcome them but that takes a huge amount of cooperation and coordination. The rich do whatever they can to keep the poor from reaching this level of cooperation. Its not impossible but the scales have been tipped a long ways in the direction of the rich. I'm not interested in giving up I'm just saying they have almost all the power therefore they bear almost all of the responsibility for the way things are

Its fascinating in the same way that a medieval torture device is fascinating

Yes the people choose but the wealthy decide what our options are

We do it to ourselves.

No, the rich do this to the rest of us. Extremely wealthy people are the enemy of society they will destroy everything to earn a few more bucks

We love to cheer the death machines don't we

Oil companies and oligarchs provide the funding. The person in office still has to make the decisions and still bears responsibility.

The Green Party thanks Lemmy for all the publicity it has given to the Jill Stein campaign

The Biden/Harris admin attached a harshly worded letter to this months shipment of bombs, what more could they do?

Netanyahu is campaigning for Trump. Coming out against a foreign pm because that pm is helping your election competitor shouldn't be that difficult to pull off.

It doesn't "siphon" votes from the "majority" candidate. You're assuming that the 3rd party voters would vote for the Dem candidate if the 3rd party candidate didn't exist but most likely those people just wouldn't vote at all if that was the case.

I am not fit to vote and neither are you but it doesn't matter because there is no voter fitness test and instituting one would be anti-democratic what are you a republican?

I never see positive posts about Kamala because centrist Dems know that there isn't anything they can post about her that will be actually appealing so their only tactic is to beat up on the anti-war leftist candidate as much and as often as possible
