   Let's be clear:

   A vote for No Labels is a vote for Trump.
   A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump.
   A vote for Cornel West is a vote for Trump.
   A vote for Robert Kennedy is a vote for Trump.
   Not voting is a vote for Trump.

   A vote for Biden & Democrats is a vote for democracy.

     A lot of people, including Americans, don't understand how the electoral college works (and the real reason why it was created to begin with). Ranked Choice Voting is a great idea but we still have to get rid of the electoral college first, and that isn't going to happen given how the Constitution is set up. The U.S.A. is the only country that still uses such an outdated document that was never intended to adapt to our modern times.

     @marcelias It's true, but this isn't okay. We are more caged by 'binary choice' this cycle than ever before.

     Defeating Trump isn't going to close Pandoras Box. Every cycle will be this choice all over again, just different faces.

     Yeah, I'll vote dem up and down the board this time - it's a no-brainer.

     But never again. I will support our third party candidates until we have a goddamn democracy around this place.

     For some really weird reason we got like 10 reports on this within a very short time. It suggests someone is using sock puppets to manipulate the reporting system. Me and a few moderators from other instances who got reports are investigating and checking Ips to see if that is the case.

     That said you were rude telling him not to breed and that he was a cultist when no one was rude to you. Consider this a warning, and if you delete/apologize for that will be considered moving forward. It should be obvious that telling someone they shouldnt breed who has not been rude to you is not very polite behavior.

     Your other reported comments in this thread, likely be the same person, seem fine as far as an expression of an opinion goes, doesnt seem racist or anything too concerning.

     As you know we have a environment here where we expect our members to engage in respectful discourse, especially when the other side is not being rude to you.

     @JoshuaACasey @marcelias While the Democratic party is pretty center-right by European standards, your statement is dangerous bullshit.

     @marcelias Also, Democrats are right-wingers that hate the American people just like the Republicans. Fuck them both.

     @Raz

     No worries, happy to keep you in the loop. We are investigating now but my response I think sums things up... his rudeness is not acceptable, and there is a seperate issue of report spaming me and various instance admis are checking in on.

     the report spamming is an open matter, not even sure if its an issue yet.
