And that’s just a light start. Those comments were tame. The closer it got to the election, the more rabid people got if they found out u were voting third party.
I know dude, I was there. Back then, term “Russian shill” was used as much as “Nazi” and “Fascist” is now. Even the Dems here will probably admit things were heated. It was crazy how much mistrust and accusations where flying around. Russian shills, propaganda, bots, lots of people were accusing lots of people being those things.
Seriously, just look around at the threads in those time periods, besides the ones I posted. It was fucking crazy. You can even ask the mods here. They even mentioned how difficult it was modding things.
They even locked several posts down because the comments were getting too crazy.
Aside from Jill Fucking Stein, I still don’t see evidence that wide swaths of people were advocating against 3rd parties in general. Yeah, there are definitely credible allegations against her, and both Putin and the GOP absolutely took advantage of her spoiler status in the election. Maybe you think she sat at the table with Putin himself without knowledge of him using her?
Like I said, that was just off the top of a quick search.
Dude, were you on Lemmy at that time? It was in individual comments all over, not just threads. Lemmy was so desperate for Trump to lose, that any talk of third party was censored very heavily.
Just like you are doing right now, with the Russian talk. Do you honestly think that Russian paid fucking money to Stein? You know she was running for president long before Trump was a candidate, right?
In fact, now seeing your attitude, you’re actually against third parties aren’t you? This is you actually defending people arguing against third parties. You are trying to point out that it’s not just crazy people who say third parties are a bad thing.
See, here I thought you were being serious and were really interested in how much Lemmy was against third parties before the election.
Hey, keep supporting your party, I’ll keep supporting mine. And Republicans are probaby gonna win the next election to. But I’m still not gonna vote Democrat.
What? Did you even do that?
