Funny you should choose this meme picture of a Pakistani cricket fan when their third party actually succeeded because people didn't fall for the usual two party propaganda of "they'll never succeed until we first fix X problem"

Hi, I’m bloodfart. You may remember me from such posts as:

“I voted for party for socialism and liberation and you can too!”

And:

“They’re running Claudia de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to Israel”.

But today I’m here to talk to you about how psl is eligible for enough electoral votes to win a landslide victory.

You see, people working on behalf of one of the two major parties often deploy the argument that a third party can’t win, so you shouldn’t vote for them. Due to the tireless work of politically active, committed anti genocide Americans just like yourself, psl can get 474 electoral votes this November!

So get out there and vote psl! She can win if you vote for her!

I see the bad faith actors making a final push.

And look! Here’s one now!

The PSL is a trash option. It has a barely above zero chance to successfully scratch its own ass let alone become a viable candidate. And in the event that they accidentally manage to get themselves elected, all their batshit promises they’ve made will never see the light of day because they don’t actually work when pressed against reality.

And reality is where we live.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO SPOIL THE ELECTION.

They are not here in good faith.

One batshit promise that a president de la Cruz could make good on is not supplying weapons to israel by executive order, conditioning non military aid on a ceasefire and halting aid approved by congress due to its illegality under international and domestic law using the power of the justice department.

Harris could make good on that too, but Harris is in favor of the genocide so she won’t.

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It is absolutely a bat shit promise. She has no clue how politics work to even suggest that she could do that. This is why no one is taking you or her seriously. She’s a nobody with about as much experience as she has a chance to win. Which is ZERO

It seems to me and from the responses you get, that from others, that you aren’t here in good faith. You’re obviously pushing a spoiler candidate. And you know it. So, having said that- it’s fair to think that you and those like you will probably vanish soon after the election.

It’s also fair to think that no one here will have a problem with this.

[-] bloodfart@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 month ago

I agree with you though that I probably won’t be posting in the political memes community after the elections.

I browse by active/all and aside from the predictable ones blaming a Harris loss on the left I don’t think the community really interests me.

The only reason you see me here now is because in active/all there are a bunch of posts blaming me and people like me for the democrats failings or shaming us or our votes.

Once that goes away I probably will too.

And you’re right that people will probably be happy about it. No one likes to be confronted with the irrefutable fact that they are supporting genocide.

That really bugs me. This whole presidential election cycle has been pretty scary to be honest. I can’t imagine a scenario where Harris wins and her party decides to abandon the deportations, war, protest suppression, border wall and genocide that got them there.

What stops the president from not sending weapons to israel by executive order? What stops the president from conditioning aid or stepping in when congress tries to send weapons to aid a genocide in contravention of domestic and international law?

We know what stops Biden and what would stop Harris: they support the genocide.

Rather than waving your hands and saying “politics”, why not examine why a president in the party opposite the democrats was able to stop israel almost 45 years ago.

The democrats of today seem to be to the right of Reagan in this matter.

People have been talking about third parties for months, but there's always an excuse

[-] Spiralvortexisalie@lemmy.world -3 points 2 months ago

Every election there is some excuse as to why we can not pivot to third parties. To me the bad-faith actors are all these clowns who say oh lets not bring it up til we think its appropriate. Like when is it gonna be appropriate? Some of us were for the likes of Perot and Nader, its been literally 3 decades of people saying hush up third parties. Like at this point, you can only assume these people love the status quo, and they are willing to fight any deviation from it.

Honest question. What do you do for someone who's sole issue right now is to stop the genocide? There's only one candidate going for that afaik, and it's not Harris or Trump.
