The first part, we agree. The J6 rioters were fascist insurrectionists, most certainly not Antifa or Black Bloc.

I don’t agree about voting third or not voting is for her that I shall not name, but I’ll concede it was not that long ago that I would have agreed. I’ve simply had a change in perspective.

The way anyone who disagree with the mainstream parties’ are virulently attacked as being either “radical leftists/Communists” or inversely, “fascists/Russians/bots”…I can see where Blue Maga makes sense. I would hope you would take time to consider that. Cult of Personality doesn’t just apply to Voldemort or the prosecutor. In Living Color and Disposable Heros of Hiphoprisy both addressed that in those exact words and in so many words, respectively, but it’s been a multitude of years ago, with songs that were rather popular, at the time. Fred Hampton, MLK and other leftist icons (if one can consider MLK leftist) did, as well.

Although we agree on certain points, and disagree on others, I’m glad you engaged in conversation with me. I think it’s been productive, and humanized us more for each other. I’ll certainly continue to give your sentiments more consideration. I hope you do mine, as well. May you be happy and well. Brightest blessings for you and yours, sincerely.

Your perspective on this isn’t really relevant, and neither is mine.

Its pure math. Not voting Harris bolsters Trump, whether its a third party vote or not voting at all.

I would hope you would take time to consider that.

I will absolutely not, because its a completely false equivalency. Maga is so much more than accusing someone of shilling. It is in absolutely no way comparable, and is in no way an idea worth entertaining.

Its garbage. Its intended to mislead. And you, right now, are a perfect example of someone falling for it. You’re taking a minor item, which then becomes an equivalent of literally violent fascists who have no problem being in bed with white supremacists and christian nationalists who want a white christian nation.

No. It is absolutely not worth contemplating. That is absolutely farcical.

I hope you do mine, as well.

I always do consider what others say. I will not, however, waste time on those ideas which are 100% intended to mislead, especially those ideas championed by racist, hateful, fear mongering fascists. Those aren’t worth my time. I don’t think they should be worth yours either.

Have a good night!

Just wanted to mention (from another discussion on here) something I thought was relevant.

The Working Families Party is a social democracy and progressive party. What is key about them (and decidedly different than green) is that not only are they working towards better, they collaborate (and use electoral fusion where its an option) to side with Democrats to keep Republicans out, where by themselves they would lose.

There is actually a WFP member running under the Democrat ticket in my area, who already had my vote, and I didn’t even notice was a member of the WFP. These are the sort of 3rd parties who are actively working to make things better, and ensuring the far right doesn’t make gains. These are the sort of 3rd parties that are, imo, worth being members of.

You can check them out here: https://workingfamilies.org/

Their candidates, and the limited number they’ve endorsed that are Democrats (like Harris), are here: https://workingfamilies.org/candidates/ - you’ll see at the top of each state if they have an org in place, which they do for CA, CO, CT, DE, GA, NJ, NM, NY, OH, OR, PA, RI, TX, and WI.

You’ll see a big difference with them, notably the number of them who are running in local and state elections. Where they don’t have ballot access, they work with the Democratic ticket. Where they do, and where a far right win is not going to happen, they run as WFP. Philadelphia has a few members on their council.

Hope you take a look!

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
