Yeah, it certainly is. And not sure if mods will keep it up. It is political news, but it's more opinion than news, so not sure if they will decide that it fits community guidelines or not.

Back in the day I had the privilege of knowing some old school Communists. People who had gone to Spain to fight Fascism and been blacklisted at home.
One of the stories they told was about how in 1968 they were warning young voters to get to the polls to stop Nixon. It wasn't that they were in love with Hubert Humphrey, but they knew he was a million times better than Nixon.

No, there are plenty of genuine Greens and Socialists, no question about it. Quite a few post content on Lemmy without anyone bothering them.

One really has to wonder if you actually cannot grasp why people keep telling you why voting for a third-party in the current US electoral system is throwing away your vote, or if you're just purposely misrepresenting the argument. Because literally nobody here thinks that.
This opinion piece tries hard to frame Harris as super undercover socialist, outlining all the aspects her and DSA's platforms have in common... and I'm like, stop! I can only get so erect !
