No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

This is my repost of my previous post here. My question WASN'T actually clear enough, so I had to add "United States presidential" to the title. That said, I'll start by saying I'd vote for Governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear.

A 3rd party candidate that can't possibly win because they're from a non-viable party that isn't actually trying to be viable and who has zero representatives in Congress.

Or maybe I just wouldn't vote. It's all so corrupt anyway.

PSYCHE!!!

I'm not a fucking blithering idiot. I'd vote for the candidate most likely to defeat Republicans/Fascists. So the Dem candidate. Whatever Dem candidate.

Because I'm not a fucking idiot.

Never republican. Prior to that, whichever Democrat says they will reign hell fire.

Disbanding ICE, disbanding TSA, slashing CBP, cutting military 75+%, expanding the supreme court by 10+ seats, expanding DOJ for that massive backlog of criminal prosecutions, forcing better vote methodologies, forcing a constitutional convention (new branches of government, independent DOJ, independent science research, independent health), encouraging new states (DC, Guam, Puerto Rico) to join the union to fix Senate proportions, remove electoral college, add in mechanisms for national no-confidence votes, healthcare as a right, etc. There's a lot more heh.

Getting rid of the TSA would be such a helpful step forward better air travel.

Most countries' airport security is to some extent modelled after the TSA, and was done in lockstep with the US increasing "travel safety" via invasive processes. Obviously it is toned back A LOT, but if the US were to get rid of the TSA and provide more lax regulations on air travel, most international countries would follow.

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

I'll vote for the candidate that I think is going to do the most to advance the policy goals I'd like. Right now that happens to be the opposite of everything the GoP is doing, and half of what the Dems are doing.

Democratic Primary: Which ever one in the top-two that's more progressive

General: Democratic nominee

I mean that kinda is the only strategy

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It was also the only strategy last election, but millions of idiots still voted for non-starter 3rd party candidates or didn't vote.

[–] humanamerican@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

Voting third party in non-swing states is one of the few ways for people to register their disgust with fake-ass corporate shill Dems.

Voting third party in a swing state is idiotic.

I would vote for whichever candidate that has firm, unflinching, support for Trans, NB and GNC people. Someone who will rescind every EO (with special focus on anti-LGBT orders), return our dignity and sense of belonging, and vow to veto any and all anti-LGBTQ+ pieces of legislation.

This is of course in addition to abolishing ICE.

Fat chance of either, unfortunately.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

You only have two options. And this is first past the post voting, so you're not really voting for anybody. You're voting against the worst candidate.

So given that, which party would you vote against?
