as a person that came from the 3rd world country and new in fediverse environment, i genuinely would like to know about this.
edit: thanks for the replies! sorry, i literally don’t know the reason since i’m not a western lol. twitter/x is too biased especially when musk openly supports trump so i came here and seeing fediverse is mostly are harris or biden (when he’s still up for the candidate) supporters. don’t know about reddit tho, i only use reddit as a forum for linux and programming stuff.
Hi. I am, kinda.
In my estimation trump is more likely to avoid a war with china then Harris. So given two terrible choices I choose trump.
They both represent the purple party, and are basically the same for most issues, they are both pro genocide for instance.
But I don’t find that a interesting topic of conversation, the captured us political system is broken and the way to address it is with voting system reform. That’s the real conversation
update: thanks for the downvotes, its a good reminder of why i don’t participate in the political communities here.
Because you’ve come out with unfounded accusations of a possibility of a war which won’t happen for many years, if ever.

They aren’t meeting because they are going to war.
If you vote for Trump, you are voting for a criminal, a rapist, a creep, and I will assume you are the same.
Must be difficult to live in a country where you think 49% of the people there are so dangerous.
You’re applying peer pressure, you’re trying to signal purity, but it’s not a convincing argument. It just means I’m less likely to listen to your following argument after you’ve said terrible things about me.
regardless, this interaction Demonstrates to OP how toxic talking about politics can be on lemmy
I really don’t care. I’m not American, I don’t live there. It’s on you.
Yes, voting reform is extremely important. The problem is Trump’s view of voting reform is to restrict who can vote. The dems idea of voting reform is to make voting easier, and at the local levels, push for ranked choice or approval voting making 3rd parties actually viable. Voting for Trump is pushing us further from good voting reform. Harris may not be platforming voting reform, but at least she’s not going to interfere with state level reforms like Trump will.
Fair enough. I see what you’re saying, but I’m a single issue voter since I don’t really care about the purple party. I just care about avoiding a war with China.
the down votes T_T
