    pointing out that voting for fringe left parties will actually stifle adoption of progressive ideals is not “parroting their [elite capitalists?] lies”.

    seriously man take a step back, people are making a good point and bucketing them in with whoever you perceive as your enemy so that you can ignore it seems kind of closed-minded. It definitely does not get them onto your side.

      Name-calling and bullying definitely aren’t helping me see your side either. I respect your right to vote for whoever you want, and all I ask is that you do the same for me. You’re free to think third-party votes stifle progress, but I’m not here to be bullied into agreeing. Just because we have different views doesn’t make me closed-minded—it makes democracy work.

        Don’t gaslight, I am not calling you any names, and responding specifically to the role of these fringe parties in our current context, to someone who has chosen to be a top-traffic poster about the issue can’t really be considered bullying.

          Read this very thread. Plenty have called me names just today. I’ve been called an idiot in this thread. And a troll. I wasn’t saying you directly, I was responding to the bigger issue. I mean, I’m called names all day every day by people on Lemmy. Seems like they are really representing the democratic party in an unkind way lately. lol

          Would you like me to send you links to the multitude of people calling me names? And then now as a response to this post, people will say “Oh, you always cry and say you’re a victim!” lol

          Gaslighter, idiot, troll, Russian agent, victim, meh… I get it all. :)
