Looks like a UM alt account.

One thing worth remembering about conservatives, many of them really do genuinely believe liberals are dumb, as in, too unintelligent to put 2 and 2 together. It's what their messaging bombards them with.

Wait and see. If they start spamming articles in favor of Jill Stein every 15 minutes, interspersed with transphobic bullshit, then yeah, probably.

No need. Check the modlog.

Huh. How do they know that it's the same person? I assume that there's some kind of trail?

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Not sure. I assume so though.

Why NYU students are voting third party in the 2024 presidential election

Because they're dumb, and haven't figured out how politics work yet.

I used to be dumb like that. I thought you could change shit by voting 3rd party every four years. Turns out that no, you can't, you just help the worst candidate by withholding your franchise from the better of the two.

“Third-party candidates offer a choice that is not the lesser of two evils,” Fakhoury said. “When each of the two major parties no longer believes their only opponent is the other, they’ll be able to get away with a lot less.”

Next week is not going to be fun 🤩
