    This reaction is fairly common on Lemmy; when users disagree, they often downvote. However, the joke is on them, as I don’t concern myself with negative votes—what truly matters to me is fostering meaningful dialogue. Ultimately, Lemmy tends to function as a collection of small echo chambers.

    I was once a Democrat, but after the way Bernie Sanders was treated, I can no longer align myself with the party. I would have supported Sanders over Trump, and I believe many others would have as well.

        What they have in common is a call for change. Unfortunately, we are often limited to just two choices in the political process.

      This is it, right here. The DNC needs this rammed through their skulls until they understand it.

      It still doesn’t make sense to me to vote for Trump given what you’ve said though-- he’s radical, but in precisely the wrong way to achieve your stated goals.

        Bernie Sanders was often labeled as “radical” by his critics. However, living in the United States over the past four years has led many to seek alternative options for addressing the country’s challenges. If you’ve been following the ongoing issues at the Social Security Building? particularly regarding Social Security and retirement systems, it’s clear that reforms are needed. Immediate action is required to ensure the sustainability of Social Security for future retirees.

      Yep, totally agree. Sad to see so many on here knee jerk being angry at you instead of engaging in constructive outreach to an obviously attentive and likely persuadable voter.
