Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You're not the only problem. But you are sure as shit one of them.
As am I. My desire to vote third party is unshakable.
Hell yeah, brother. I stand next to you. Proudly. I was hated on Lemmy for proclaiming this back during the 24 election, but I didn't change my mind. Glad to see more and more people willing to stand up and say it.
Right on.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step
And what if I have a problem, and willfully and intentionally do the wrong thing by voting third party anyway?
Are you voting in the primaries?
Absolutely. I use the Democratic ballot.
And if the candidate(s?) you vote for won the primaries, you'd be willing to support them in the general election as well?
Yep. Pretty much. It would be one of those rare times I vote for one of the Big Two.
That's fair enough, then. I may not share your opinion, but it seems reasonable enough and I respect it.
What's even the point of asking that?
Answers will be in the 2 camps of "vote anyways" or "you shouldn't be able to". Seeing as one of these is a blatant bad answer, anyone you ask with a brain will just say some variant of "you do you".
So again I ask, why even ask your question?
It's your prerogative to be an idiot.
I find it valuable, therefore it is. QED
If you don't find it value to contribute to preventing Trump, fascism, war, mass deportation, destruction of science and healthcare and justice, further wealth concentration, etc. well, your choices are rational from your perspective, I guess. Wrong, and misguided, but rational.
Excellent. Thanks.
