      Yep. I know that may make you mad, but I’ll keep advocating 3rd party.

      I was pushing third-party voting before it was “cool.” Now a lot more of Lemmy’s fine with it, mostly because people are fed up with both major parties. But I was saying it before the election.

      Back then people here lost their shit. They claimed I was a pro-Trump Russian troll sitting in a warehouse, typing on Lemmy (!) to dodge the front lines of the war. One guy, who later turned into a stalker, even said I was getting paid in “Russian bitcoinz.” Many said that I was on Trumps campaign. lmao

      They swore I was only pushing third-party votes to swing the election. That makes no sense. First, Lemmy isn’t big enough to sway any national race. Second, even if every single person who supported a third party had voted for Harris, she still would have lost. The margin of Trump voters and non-voters was too wide.

      Do I think Trump is better than Harris? No. That’s why I didn’t vote for him.

      I voted Socialist Workers Party. I considered the Green Party at first, but the SWP fit my beliefs better. And before anyone calls me a “Tankie,” I don’t even know what a tankie is. I backed SWP because their platform was pro–workers’ rights, plain and simple.

      In fact, I created the Socialist Workers Party lemmy community BEFORE the election in 2024. Here’s proof: !swp@sh.itjust.works

      All my posts on .world are still there. My post history here is still here. I also have a community where I post news links from any news source of any political leanings. But by far, most of my posting are and always have been pro-union and pro-workers rights articles.

      I’ve also had articles published in the Socialist Workers Party newspaper and other pro-union publications, but somehow Lemmy still says I’m pro-Trump. All because I didn’t bow down to the Biden/Harris Lemmy bullies. LMAO
