It’s almost amusing how you cling to the idea that supporting a third party somehow makes me a puppet for Trump.

The fact that you and others are so quick to point fingers at people like me—who dare to challenge the corrupt duopoly—only shows how deep the fear runs among those who defend the status quo.

Your so-called "spoiler effect" is just a convenient excuse to maintain the stranglehold of two parties that have failed us for generations.

I’ll keep advocating for real alternatives, whether you like it or not, because real change doesn’t come from playing it safe within a broken system.

Yeah, and make that pie chart you are talking about with my posts. And also add in there who many posts I make about socialists.

As I have noted before, the vast majority of my posts are for workers rights, socialist causes, union issues, and education. I've contributed over 200 posts and comments to the Lemmy socialist community I created and that I mod. I'm a member of the Socialist Workers Party, and I support them financially.
