Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Green party voters are not disaffected Dems, they are just people who hate the status quo, for whatever reason. Dems spent so much time & energy yelling at them and they were never going to vote for them. On the other hand, disaffected Dems just decided to stay home and probably don't even know that the Green party exists.

some part of their psyche is aware that voting democrat is a bad idea; so they act out by condemning people who they feel have emancipated themselves from american propaganda.

I did the math out in here maybe a week after the election and it was pretty clear that even had all third party voters voted for Harris it wouldn't have made a difference both in the popular count or in a number of swing states. Trump's success is because he gained a lot of votes from 2020 and Harris lost a lot. I haven't seen breakdowns of the numbers but I would guess it was mostly abstainers or libertarian voters in 2020 that came over to him this year, not former Biden voters.
