    Lemmy leftists, after having the spoiler effect patiently explained to them, and how even a 2% vote for a 3rd party candidate (nowhere near enough to win) can tip the vote against the second-choice party, using 100% of their brain:

      The 2% claim is wild. Among the counted are “Libertarians” and “None of these candidates” voters. Assuming third party and non-voters would vote Democrat is silly.

      I know about the spoiler effect. I voted Biden in 2020. He ended a railroad strike by mandate. The best Democrats could offer in 2024 was “at least we aren’t Trump”.

      Vote, maybe for a Democrat even. Then workers need to stop doing their jobs generally to see consolations under representative democracy. Take care of your fellow workers.
