Agreed. We should have an age-limit for the president of the United States. Or at least a cognitive test.

Nope. She’s right.

Why? Even if everyone who voted for Jill Stein, combined with everyone who voted third party, Harris still would have lost the election. That’s how large the margin was.

You all even lost the popular vote. To Donald Trump of all people!!

So exactly how did she betray the country? Because she ran third party? Which didn’t change the election results at all?

And do you know how many people on Lemmy are now suddenly saying that we need a third party now, because they feel betrayed by the Democrats?

You didn’t lose the election because of Jill Stein. You are just used to hating her because Lemmy told you to hate third parties while under the mistaken impression that they would spoil the election. But they didn’t spoil the election. The Democrats did. lol

I’m sooo glad I voted socialist and stuck to my values. No soul-searching for me after the election! I did the right thing.

I don’t think she was a plant though. The Green Party chose her. Do you think they are all plants then?

Why? Even if everyone who voted for Jill Stein, combined with everyone who voted third party, Harris still would have lost the election. That’s how large the margin was.

Harris even lost the popular vote! Seems like Jill Stein should be the least of the Dem party’s concerns.

Well, in the end it didn’t matter. Harris lost by such a large margin, none of the votes that went to Jill Stein would have mattered anyway.

I mean, you guys lost the freakin’ popular vote to Trump!

The majority of the United States didn’t agree with you or your candidate. And they showed you just how much they didn’t like you guys by voting.

Trump won the election, and the popular vote; the Republicans won the Senate AND the House.

You and other democrats need to change your methods and your attitudes.

Your bullying didn’t change my mind, or the minds of all the voters who voted for Trump. Remember when you all accused me of being a bot? And accused me of being Russian. And said I’d disappear after election day? Or that I was a team of people posting “propaganda”?

None of it was true, and it was just bullying, and you guys trying to quiet any dissenting voices.

That’s why you lost, friend.

And I’m still here, having the best time of my life.

Well, you are here reading it, so is this all you have going on in your life?

Well, you are here reading it, so is this all you have going on in your life?

Well, you are here reading it, so is this all you have going on in your life?

Well they have run in local elections and there are quite a few Green Party officials out there. But they should def by trying for more congress roles too.

Yeah, it’s crazy that they lost so badly. Hopefully, after their blame games, they can reflect on what the real reasons were, and try to update the party.

Do you realize that even if every person who voted for Jill Stein or any other third-party candidate had voted for Harris instead, Harris still would have lost?

The margin was big enough that, even without third-party candidates, Trump would have still won the popular vote.

So why are you mad at Jill Stein when her absence wouldn’t have changed the outcome at all?

Of course you’re gonna say that. You’re pretty salty that you lost. lol

Oh, I’m not crying friend, I’m laughing.

And I’m not evading bans. We’re totally free to set up on any instance we like. And there are lots of instances. I know that annoys you, but welcome to the fediverse!

Like you said, this is a public forum. :)

I think it’s hilarious that you were so obsessed with me that you followed me around posting my post stats. lmao

And what will I be banned for? Saying that I wouldn’t vote for Harris? Cuz it sure looks like a fuckton of people didn’t vote for Harris.

That’s why Trump won the popular vote too, friend.

Remember when you posted screenshots of my messages to the mods in c/politics trying to get them to apologize for letting me post, and they ignored you? I’m still in that community, friend. lol

Hey, remember when .world accused me of working in Russia and that I would disappear the day after the election? Just because I was a proud socialist?!

Still here, friend. Thanks! :)

And mods allowing you to spread thousands of lies had absolutely nothing to do with it whatsoever.

What lies? They were news articles. lol

Also, you were allowed to post about how you created a program to track my every post and comment on Lemmy, and you constantly shared stats about me.

Here’s the deal: Trump won the popular vote by a much bigger margin than anything I could have influenced with my posts. He would’ve won even if I’d never joined Lemmy.

All that work you did by tracking and posting about me didn’t make any difference.

You need to accept that fact. Thanks, friend! :)

Sorry for yet another plant story, but I can’t help it. I like plant stories! I promise my next one has nothing to do with plants tho! :)
