    Was there even a single swing state where third party voters made up the difference between Kamala and Trump??

    I know y'all just love punching left. that's what got us into this mess. I guess there's no use in learning from it now seeing as you'll never really get to vote in an election again.

        Thanks for letting me know stranger. Seeing all these dumb takes on the other parts of Lemmy is just grinding me.

            To add to what everyone else said, lemmy is basically an open source version of reddit. Anyone can create their own lemmy Instance and will have complete control over it just like any other website and can choose who they are linked with.

            Lemmy.ml is the "original" website run by the creators of lemmy who are communists.It used to be an explicitly socialist website like hexbear but Its become full of liberals since people left reddit on mass for lemmy almost a year ago.

            Lemme.ee is a generic website for anything so its basically like lemmy.ml but not run by communists.

            sh.itjust.works is is similar to lemm.ee (a generic website for anything) but is run by reactionaries.

            lemmy.world is basically just reddit. I don't recommend you have anything to do with that one. cringe

              It was lib before that too, numbers were way lower but before .world, .ee, sh.itsfulla.nazis etc there was mander, sopuli and beehaw. Beehaw defederated because they shat their pants before hexbear but you can still occasonally see mander and sopuli galaxy brain tkes on .ml

            Yes. Lemmy/the fediverse is this social media platform. It's like email where there are many independent domains that communicate with each other. The biggest servers are lemmy.world, lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, lemmy.ml, and hexbear.net

            Hexbear was separate from the rest until last year so that's why people say it isn't lemmy even though it is.

      That's what the meme is showing. There was no instance where 3rd party voting took away from either main party candidate.

          My brother In christ Kdolf lost the popular vote. 💀

          If you add every every vote from every single third party to her she does not even come close to a path to victory.

          Do you really think any of us who voted third party were ever going to vote for a genocidal, anti immigrant, imperialist cop? Third parties didn’t take away votes because those votes were not Harris’ by default; they gave a voice to people who otherwise wouldn’t have voted to express their disapproval of this rigged, exploitative system. And to top all that off, even if every third party voter was somehow mandated to vote for Kamala, she still would have lost.

          I like how you say iirc as if you are remembering a fact that has been said instead of a line that has been fed to you to repeat without knowing that it is totally ungrounded in reality

          How about we don't engage in a conspiracy where the party led by a Jewish Woman is 'stealing votes', think before you speak.

          What took a lot of votes away was Kamala Harris losing 15 million voters because she couldn't turn left, kind of like famous politician Dale Earnhardt

          Anyway here's a breakdown of the votes that were "taken away".
          Incidentally saying they were "taken away" is incredibly stupid. The democrats are not owed anyones vote and assuming a person voting for Jill Stein would vote for Kamala Harris is flawed in a great many ways.
