They are still in Russia. They moved on to fucking with the German election now I believe.
Yeah, I wish they’d promote the Green party here.
But with our voting system they have to promote the nazis directly.
Which they are unfortunately doing very successfully, along with fucking Elon Musk.America, could you please keep your billionaires to yourself? They’re annoying as hell.
Can’t we just return him to South Africa? We don’t really want him either
He has US citizenship, so now you’re responsible.
Yeah but he lied on his form. So. It’s just a matter of bringing this to the attention of the authori . . .
Okay look, there’s a plan B that’s had one big success already.
Okay look, there’s a plan B that’s had one big success already.
And two big failures.
That’s loser talk. C’mon Go Team.
Elon is from South Africa. Also, if we could control them, they wouldn’t be billionaires.
I don’t subscribe to the notion that where you were born defines what nationality you are.
He speaks English, not Afrikaans. He lives in the US, has US citizenship, made his billions in the US, owns several US companies, and the president elect of the US lovingly caresses his dick every night with his wet, pouting lips.the president elect of the US lovingly caresses his dick every night with his wet, pouting lips
I will never not take the opportunity to repost them kissing:
This is so wholesome
I don’t subscribe to the notion that nationality is a real thing, period. I could just as easily argue that none of that matters and he’s “South African” because that’s where he was born and I subscribe to the notion that nationality is something that never goes away.
You’re the one insisting that he’s American for some reason. Maybe don’t make a big deal about things that are fake, don’t matter, and you have idiosyncratic options about. It doesn’t matter, which was the entire point of my comment.
It does matter, and he’s American in absolutely every way that matters.
He’s the ideal that the current American society and culture idolizes. Whether you like to admit it or not.he’s American in absolutely every way that matters.
Did you know that “Every” doesn’t imply “Any”?
It does matter

They’re untrainable and we can’t get rid of them. They’re just like the *thump* *thump* *thump* from that one song.
i noticed the gaza campaigning seems to have almost gone now the election is over too

The Harris and Trump promoters also suddenly went quiet the day after the election.
What did you expect? The election cycle do be like that.
I wish the Trump supporters would go silent.
If you don’t spend your time perpetually online, they are pretty silent.

I wish
No they didn’t lol there were topics about the election results immediately after, and for probably two weeks at least.
After the election, what’s left to say about third party candidates who everyone knew wouldn’t win, including the people who voted for them?
Isn’t now the time to start building a third party up to have a chance in the next election?
It’s better than pulling a Jill Stein and parachuting into the debate in the last couple weeks to gain some funding.
she announced long before the last couple weeks, but the media iced her out.
No the media did not “ice her out”. Green party has hardly any seats ANYWHERE in the country. Because they are not here to do the work of building.
The only people that got played harder than Trump supporters were 3rd party voters.
Or maybe they are? Maybe it’s difficult to get new people to organize and join and support a party that almost always gets ignored by the news media, or else is being demonized by the democratic establishment or democrat voters.
People will come into threads like this and complain about the Green party not doing anything for 3.5 years at a time but also refuse to join the green party or volunteer or anything.
I volunteer. I live in a state with ranked choice voting but left-of-center voters still overwhelmingly don’t vote for local green candidates. That’s on us Greens to do better, but again it’s difficult when there are so few people willing to get involved.
or else is being demonized by the democratic establishment or democrat voters.
The party that only exists to siphon Dem votes and help Republicans win isn’t universally loved by Democrats? Wow that’s so crazy, I can’t imagine why that would be.
It’s almost as if they were a primary reason Trump won the first election and became relevant in the first place. It’s almost as if the entire MAGA movement is only as big as they are because of the Green Party’s role in that first election…
It’s a total mystery why anyone would be unhappy with Stein 🤷♂️
Or maybe they are?
They aren’t. The fact that so many people seem to be disenfranchised by the 2-party system but 3rd party candidates aren’t winning in local/state elections across the country prove that 3rd parties aren’t putting in the effort.
Isn’t now the time to start building a third party up to have a chance in the next election?
. . . What’s your point?
It’s better than pulling a Jill Stein and parachuting into the debate in the last couple weeks to gain some funding.
Surely that’s the point. Well, that and to throw the election to the other russian puppet.
The point is the same as it was during the late stages of the election, third party needs a massive grassroots movement from early on in order to have traction by post-primary stages in the main parties’ cycles.
True, but they won’t do it because they’re not serious. It’s performative as much as it is spoilage. I’ll be super impressed if one third party is able to be nationally recognized with more than a token presidential candidate in four years.
The same thing Harris voters said. Talking about the loss and about the winner.
If those “green voters” actually gave a shit about getting their candidate elected, you’d hear from them for more than 2 months every 4 years.
But no, that was never the goal. Their goal was for Trump to win
And do what, canvas when there’s no election and get even more doors slammed in your face.
Yeah the green party isn’t campaigning in the off season, but neither are Republicans or democrats because nobody cares. Half the people only pay attention to politics the week before the election.
You know there’s more than just the presidency… Right? Right? Building locally gcssroots doesn’t mean showing up for the presidential cycle every four years. You understand this, right?
IMHO the local communities on Lemmy are still way too small. So you’re mostly going to see discussion of national or global politics here.
No. We can go look up right now haw many state and federal positions are held by green parties
I’m not disputing that it’s few. I’m pointing out that this activity would be practically invisible to us.
Then a 3rd party will never be viable.
Green/PSL voters are literally posting in this thread. Maybe you have confirmation bias.
Yeah man, like 3 people on lemmy are the ones who TURN THE TIDES on elections
My god, the insanity is real.
How about Jill Stein herself who shows up on the same timeline?
Yeah her 30k voters turned the tides of the election lolz 😂
She got 782,528 votes or about 0.5% of the popular vote.
You’re misrepresenting her votes by about 26 times less.
Why is that?
