The op didn’t specify an emoji for this one.

Yes, I vote defederation

He burned to death in an Israeli strike on a hospital. Who else should be blamed in the story about the effect and meaning of his tragic killing? What particular responsible party should be named in the headline of that story?

The “neutral language” you’re describing is called passive voice. It’s used to avoid saying who performed the actions in question and that is a form of bias.

In the last few years, newspapers selective use of passive voice - cloaked as “neutral language” - to shield groups or organizations they’re sympathetic to from police to the idf has come under fire because people recognize it as deflecting blame from the powerful and casting the injustice and violence of those in power as unavoidable tragedy.

He just burned to death, isn’t that sad? Alexa play despacito.

Nope.

Where?

My top level reply is an attempt to get Green Party voters who are starting to not feel so good to switch over to psl.

Also it’s not mathematically identical because my third party vote isn’t counted for trump.

I’m kinda surprised you care. Your party has written us off, do you not agree with their decision?

My vote isn’t going to be counted for trump, and is for a party in opposition to his program.

You have a funny way of figuring out if someone is a trump supporter. Is it perhaps based on the old “with us or against us” chestnut?

You should know before you keep pushing that line, I will not vote Harris. If there was no party for socialism and liberation, I’d vote a different third party. If there were no third parties, I’d write a candidate in.

If you want to pick up a Harris vote, look elsewhere.

Wow if third parties are so powerful then how come you’re not voting for one too?

It seems like a great way to force the major party of your choice to pay attention to your politics.

I’m literally suggesting people vote for a party and candidate different than stein.

Did you reply to the correct comment?

What background do I need to have in order to be allowed to recognize that the mathematics of lesser evils don’t make any sense?

Is there some amount of subjugation I can be under that allows me to have a materialist analysis?

Literally me: Don’t encourage these scumbags, don’t wait another moment to stand up for what you know is right, voting is the easiest way to make your voice heard!

You: wow, must be nice!

If youre reading this, don’t listen to people who try to mobilize identity politics against you. They don’t know or care who you are and would hate you more if you were a minority speaking out.

No.

I haven’t held my nose for a democrat for going on fourteen years and I’m not going to start now.

I’m politically active far beyond voting and have spoken face to face with several representatives. They don’t care or listen.

No amount of voting reform will fix the fundamentally unjust American political system.

I have been doing the work and will continue to do so. Voting for PSL in this election is part of that work.

If you’re reading this, don’t fall for the “oh if only we had star or ranked choice” fiddlefarting around the edges garbage. We live in under a fundamentally unjust political system and especially when both major parties are advocating in support of genocide there is no reasonable argument for performing the calculus required to declare one the lesser evil.

Walk away from omelas.

If you’re getting convinced by anti-green rhetoric, I don’t blame you. The greens are pretty bad.

You can always vote for the party for socialism and liberation instead. They’re running de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to israel.

If you want to vote third party but don’t like the greens, the party for socialism and liberation is running de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood!

That will definitely not backfire.

Because it’s bad.

Use an overlay network and run dns on it.

Baby boss israel

Ooh hexbear on all/active page 1!

Yeah it was crazy.

Sorry for the late response. Disasters happen!

I will not vote for the democrats and no argument will convince me.

I do want to participate in the electoral system and am not forced to vote for people or parties I have no interest in.

You aren’t going to convince anyone with the most important election rhetoric. If a person isn’t already saying it along with you then they’ll be driven away by those words.

I’m not throwing away my vote. It’ll be counted just like all the others. I know this from being involved in the process of elections.

I’m not concerned with what the fascist want.

If the democrats want my vote they can adopt a platform I support, actively pursue it to some real material ends and maybe I’ll cast a ballot for them in two years or four years.
