Updated PSL electoral map: democracy is illegal edition
Updated PSL electoral map: democracy is illegal edition
Curious how the ballot access laws become so strict in swing states 
PSL doing good work to show that reforming the system is impossible. Libs get so mad when I suggest voting for them, haha.
I see so many crocodile tears about unmasked events from libs when PSL gets brought up.
"Uh, isn't PSL like, kinda problematic?" You're voting for a genocidal war criminal shut your mouth forever lib
All the time. Even got Lemmy.world mods malding over it.

Kicked off by Democrats
I am once again pointing out that liberals are more opposed to democracy than even the far right. Like, quite literally they are less likely to agree with statements like “Every person’s vote should count equally,” “Democracy is a good system,” and “Free elections are an essential feature of democracy”
The democrats had always been the party of the Party Boss making the decisions instead of the rank and file. Hence “superdelegates” being a thing in their primaries.
I disagree. This is the opposite of what I have experienced in life. shakes head I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Have you considered that you’re a rube who will continue to believe total falsehoods even when evidence to the contrary smacks you in the face
lemmy.dbzer0 continuing to be the most Lib infested lemmy instance after lemmy.world, but only just ahead of that startrek one
*Steeples fingers*
*Paces slowly*
*Starts to speak*
*Hesitates, stops*
*Faces out window, somberly*
Well considering that it's 2024 and you're still using role-playing asterisks maybe it's either because you're young or a sentient IRC channel.I mean, this isn’t a matter of opinion, this is based on how leftists, liberals, and right-wingers answered questions when polled.

An important note to read that and not come back and say something stupid, “liberal” can be a confusing term with multiple meanings. When I say “liberal” and NYT says “centrist” we mean the same thing.
People still say there is somehow a better chance of getting ranked-choice voting under the Dems
They think if the populace supports RCV when they vote, this magical RCV prayer will translate into reality. They have no analysis of mechanisms for why society progresses, they are idealists and utopians.
"Convince people to support RCV" okay, then what? How does this make a difference? Praying harder? They act like 40k ork magic is real.
I'm probably voting for Claudia then. I just want to sit down and watch a debate with her and the other third party people like I did four years ago.
I was so confounded when I came across her (I thought she did fine, it was just an unfortunate placement) on a panel with of all people

Well there goes my inclination to even go to a polling place as a PA citizen. Fuck you DNC and fuck all who carry water for them
Vote green as the next best way to spit in the face of ziocrats
You can still write in
If PSL won in even a single state, do you think they'd actually report it? Seems like seeing a map with anything but blue and red on it would damage their us vs. them strategy.
They are my first and preferred choice. Wish they were more than just write in for my state.
Very excited by Tony1Dime's book on how America is a uniquely anti-democratic liberal democracy, which nevertheless (through shit like how bombastic and seemingly consequential the electoral cycle is, especially recently after trump) produces enough legitimacy in its people to keep going.
Like, this ballot access restriction is the type of shit they accuse venezuela of doing
What book? What’s it called?
It's not out yet (spring 2025) but it's called "Freedom to Change Nothing: The Spectrum of Managed Democracy and What Makes the US Different", which will probably delve into ideas that Tony has been talking about on his channel and on Sheldon Wollin's idea of the american system as "Inverted Totalitarianism".
I have so many questions about how write-ins work. Do you have to write the full names of both candidates? Middle names too? Or can you shorten it somehow? What happens if you make a spelling mistake? What if the counter decides to ignore your vote?
Apparently it sounds like you can use rubber stamps in most places. Can you share the same stamp with other voters? Could you leave the stamp in a voting booth for others to use?
My mind always goes back to Lisa Murkowski getting reelected in 2010 as a write-in candidate after being primaries by a Tea Party Republican. I remember them placing a lot of emphasis on people spelling her name right.
I guess the short answer to your question though is that write in rules vary according to each state's election laws.
i dont even know if write-ins actually count as votes, like can someone actually win through write in votes? (theoretically I mean)
Kicked off in a few states, but looks like they have write-in status in North Dakota and maybe others now? So that's neat.
It's funny that they get kicked off at all, those votes are pretty much all going to Stein. They are actively discouraging voting for the anti-democratic "democrats."
Kicked off from two major swing states where they would have the most ability to effect the election
Sorry how does a party kick another party off the ballot
Spend a few million dollars in donations to bring court cases through three layers of appeals. Wonder whether the “defend democracy” actblue fiends have any idea where their money is going.
finally get to vote PSL officially this year. many states they are just listed as "independent".
first time ever feel kind of excited to
The most insane thing is afaik she’s on the ballot in Georgia, it’s too late to remove her, but they’re just not going to count the votes for her.
Complete sham of a “democracy”.
They did the opposite for Kennedy in Michigan. He is on the ballot and wants off but they won't let him.
To siphon votes away from Trump I'd imagine
I voted PSL
Nice. I am voting anyway cause there's some important amendments in my state so might as well tick that PSL number up one
imagine voting lmao
Death to America
Not sure if I should try a write in (I’m in an “official write in status” state) or just go Green so I can be sure it’s actually counted.
