Democrats spent the last year asking where their Joe Rogan was. Hasan Piker is one of the few left-wing figures with the audience they covet — but the party is deeply hostile to the spontaneity and independence that make figures like him appealing.

but you are not entitled to your own facts.

But me saying that I didn't like Harris so I chose to vote third party, is not giving false facts. So I shouldn't have been censored. If you think that is worthy of censorship, then that says a lot about you. lol

Nazi is as nazi does. Doing things that further the objectives of nazis makes you their ally. If you don’t like being accurately described that way, stop helping the nazis!

Sigh...and so it begins. I'm not a nazi just because I voted third party. lol I'm glad you are saying this in this thread tho, so people can see what it's like.

The notion that third parties are viable in the Presidential election -- especially when it's only a month or two away and most people don't have a clue who the third-party candidates even are! -- is 100% misinformation.

I never said anything of the sort. I said I was proud to vote third party, and I'm still proud to. And I will in the next election too. :)

So back in 2024 you were intentionally telling people to do a thing you yourself didn't believe would work? And then you wondered why people attacked you for it?

I didn't tell anyone to do anything. I told my thoughts about how I was gonna vote and why I came to that conclusion.

I think people should vote for whoever they want to win. We, as citizens, have that right. I supported it then, I support it now.

Heck vote for Trump if ya want to. I certainly wouldn't, but i don't think you should be banned anywhere for saying you would. Part of being part of a democracy is accepting that not everyone agrees with you. And that's ok.

We are allowed to vote for whoever we want. And I did. And said why I did. And I will do again in the future.

Even when the vote is to end the democracy and replace it with a totalitarian dictatorship? 'Cause that's what fucking happened.

Yep, welcome to democracy. If the dems want to win, they should pick better candidates that people want to vote for.
