Are these third party voters in the room with us now?
Yes.

You mean Russian bots and 50-cent PLA agents? I don’t think they vote in the US. Or at all.
Do you have, you know, any numbers showing that third parties spoiled it for democrats?
Yeah fair point.

Jill stein, for example, got 0.56% of votes. The dems would've had a better chance at winning if people hadn't voted for a party that doesn't stand a chance.

It would also be great if the dems weren't so shit. That would incentivize people to actually vote for them instead of not voting.
Unfortunately yeah. In fact 3 of the largest Lemmy instances are populated by almost entirely by these third party voters. Even this thread seems to be packed with third party voters trying to defend their support for fascism with the excuse "It's not my fault I voted third party, I don't understand American politics"
Could you link them? Because I only see one person even saying they didn’t vote Democrat.
I voted 3rd party. If only I had voted 1.6 million more times for KH, I could have changed the outcome of the election!
Look anywhere in this thread
The one guy who says he voted third party spoiled Harris’ victory?
Show me the numbers.
