      I hate how they’ve spammed their way into turning this community into 90% conversations about irrelevant 3rd parties.

      Every post is either by them or something meant to dunk on them.

        That’s such a ridiculous claim that I bothered to count.

        There’s been 4 posts about anything regarding 3rd parties out of 31 in the last 24h and that’s much MORE than usual!

        Sounds like you’re just hypersensitive about being reminded that the two party duopoly is only ALMOST complete 🙄

          Yes that was hyperbolic, I see these posts on my feed on a daily basis, and it’s filled with dozens of rehashed comments bickering about the validity of third parties. It’s getting fat more attention here than it deserves when there are tons of actual, real political issues in the world.

          I’ll be the first to say that I hate both major parties, but I have the political literacy to understand that the way to fix it is not by voting for someone with questionable ties to Russia that seems to pop up out of nowhere every four years.

          If you guys actually cared to solve the issues you’d be campaigning to first and foremost get electoral reform to make third parties even remotely viable instead of trying to work within this extremely broken, barely democratic system. You’d also be doing work at a local level where real change can be made to movement rather than just throwing a candidate out for president every election. You won’t do that though because you’re all a bunch of weird idealists with fantastical views of how politics work. I’m interested in following news thats grounded in reality

      Many of them are surprisingly silent on the matter.

      It’s refreshing.

      I don’t see them in the comments. They’re probably on lunch break with that linkerbaan person.
