So i'm just gonna say a few things, If this issue is me being MIA and not appointing other mods, okay that's a fair criticism, I should have been logging in/posting more, but I'm going to respond to a some other points.
The reason I chose this instance is because of the limited options available, aside from my personal affinities towards solarpunk, and reality is joining a US centric general instance would be more hostile towards this community because they are likely aligned with Biden Administration and liberalism. I don't get why this not being a US centric instance would be a problem on a federated network.
For the record I am an anarchist and my promotion of a third party candidate is as protest against the 2 party system -- particularly because they're the only candidate that advocates on behalf of Palestine -- for me at least it's the same of supporting someone like Vermin Supreme , obviously the guy isn't going to win, the point is subverting the election ( which is a totalitarian media spectacle) and utilizing it as means of propagating socialist ideas.
So i don't see how supporting a candidate who will definitely not win is reproducing hierarchical electoral politics, since doing so indicates the futility of electoral politics itself. That argument seems like an overly dogmatic misinterpretation of anarchist principles.
Hello, well it seems like a done decision, I did get pretty disillusioned with the candidate a while back figured I should keep the community up for simply Documenting the campaign, but it's not really worth the kind of hostility that every post brings, I could message people who are more active and see if they want to mod, but pretty the members on this instance don't want it here so
absolute bullshit, it burns more in carbon to run those machines than it takes out, this is making shit worse at an accelerated pace
I say wait for election day and flip a coin, that's basically how elections are determined, the arbitrary whims of the margin of people in swing states who go out to vote or not. You're individual vote does not make any difference in the absence of mass organized action, and the Democrats are terrified of exactly that kind of mass organization because otherwise they wouldn't be so secure in running corporate puppets like Biden.
If you wanna be realistic about it Voting in any state other than a swing state is basically 'throwing your vote away' : Vote Blue in a Blue State you're just throwing it in a pile, Vote Blue in a Red State it's just as much a symbolic protest vote as anything else. Only in a swing state will your Vote make a tangeable difference which is why those are the only states either party even campaigns in for the most part.
my opinion is those boats are too damn big
you know they used to have these things called sail boats
"For the past 50 years, I have been facing heavy financial responsibilities to family and friends. I have always made my priceless children a high priority - even with lavish treatments that are not in the records. The wave of IRS audits, fees, liabilities, levees, and liens have always been and are now resolved based on agreements set in place years ago. I do believe that we all should pay our fair share of taxes, especially the top 1%! Like the 63% of my hard-working fellow citizens, I live paycheck to paycheck with dignity and determination!#PeopleOverProfits" https://nitter.net/CornelWest/status/1693672094910058679#m

I don't like JFK Jr, at all but how is he a "spoiler" if he's running in the primaries? I thought 3rd parties are spoilers.
