God damn is this one getting pumped and reposted...
DNC big mad?
Not sure why this story shouldn’t get this much air time, unless you think billionaires should just be able to buy and silence newspapers when they don’t like what they say. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anything is permissible in the push for fascism, it would seem.
I dont need to think anything, i just see thats what they do and thats how it always worked.
Yall are the ones who are juicing fake outrage as if this is something new.
Or did yall just now discover thay you live in oligarchy lol
Who is “yall” in this scenario, and why are you lumping me in with whoever that is because I think billionaires silencing journalism is indeed a story?
Anyway sorry I’m not going to play more leftist than thou, hope you get whatever you’re needing out of that though I guess.
People reposting this story endlesly and people larping it as if this is something new.
You’re right, we should all just accept it and not even try to make note of it. Good idea!
The lesson here is oligarchy overall... Not that one guy did something that is essentially a vote of no confidence for your team lol
You have to be a fucking teenager. If you're an adult you should take a test.
Lord, I’d never hear any news if it was only things that have never happened before.
do you have hypoxia or something? Jesus christ
It is new. That’s . . . that’s why the stories were published today. In the news.
i just see thats what they do and thats how it always worked.
Cool. No reason to change anything then! Everything's great, just like it's always been!
You dont change anythinf by larping or voting for either of the parties.
Change starts with 3p vote.
The I guess change is never going to happen. No third party candidate in the past 30 years has come even close to Ross Perot in the 1992 election. He got 18.9% of the vote. Do you know how many of the 270 electoral college delegates he needed to win that he got? Zero. Not a single delegate. You have to literally go back more than 100 years to find an example of a third party candidate even coming that close.
So if that's your big hope for change, you might as well just give up and get out of everyone else's way.
I dont play politics.
Neither party supports me so I am voting 3p.
Obviously no 3p is winning but i cant in good conscience to vote for the two party system.
Such is life in opposition. This is a generational fight anyway.
If there is ecer hope hope for a break out, it will be done via 3p votes upsetting the status quo.
When did this become just about you? You said change has to happen by voting third party.
Did you even work for a third party campaign this year? If so, which one and what did you do?
Or do you hope you can just talk about voting third party to random people on internet forums and use the rules laid out in The Secret and then it will come to pass?
Doing my part and sharing it online
Others can make their own voting decisions, i am here to explain how 3p works.
It seems some people see the merit while most dont. And thats totallt fine.
Right, so you didn't actually campaign for any candidate, which makes your "vote third party" idea even sillier.
This is how many third party candidates there are this year:
Jill Stein
Chase Oliver
Claude De La Cruz
Randall Terry
Cornel WestSo if you think people should vote either for Green Party candidate Jill Stein or Constitution Party candidate Randall Terry and it doesn't matter which one because "third party or nothing," you are an unserious person.
It's like saying you don't care if dinner is shit or salad as long as it isn't meat.
I am a wage worker with a full time job.
It is not my job produce a candidate. I vote based on what it is available which is shit, shit or 3p shit.
I am just going to write in some random so my voted is counted in the total but it doesnt go to kamala trump...
This is not rocket science, this is pure opposition to the two party system.
I will keep doing this until i am dead OR system produces somebody i can stomach, we can revisit the issue then.
Ps. I dont think you understand the concept of opposition. Looks like muslim americans are discovering it tho. Wierd times but maybe thats what it takes or NOT
A vote for 3rd party is a vote for Trump. You know that
some people value current empirical evidence over hearsay and 'common sense' when forming opinions I suppose
Not following...
Truly shocking...
I dont need to think anything
Clearly.
Nah. Folks are big mad because it’s exactly what we all expected when bezos bought the post. It didn’t immediately slide headlong into the void of bullshit pandering, so we developed a sense of false hope. Now it’s gone, we know it, we’re annoyed, and we’re mad about getting took.
Some people seem to think you should only get angry at things that are surprises. Like I get mad every time a Republican is a bigot even if I'm not surprised. Bigotry should make people mad whether or not it's a surprise.
Well he used his tool when it was good for him.
WaPo and rest of these outlets are just that, mouth piece for the owner class.
Yet we their trash is being endlessly reposted around socials. Why?
You seem dense on purpose. But just in case I'd like to point out that you're in the news section.
The troll is pushing the usual current 3rd party vote bullshit. Either they are incalculably dense or they will be gone after the US election. Make of that what you will.
That ratio though.
