    I’m gonna guess because the instance is administrated by lemmy main devs and despite them being tankies the quality of discussion is still higher than in other instances. You can compare lemmy.ml local home with lemmy.world

      I’ve seen you urging US voters to back third parties despite the mathematical realities of FPTP voting. Of course you prefer discussion on .ml.

          I don’t agree with the atrocity they are committing. Link me to my defense of Israel or (my preference) stop telling lies.

        What’s the alternative? Urging them to vote for a fascist or for a genocide supporter?

        Lemmy.world home is filled with memes and news from mass media. Lemmy.ml home looks ten times more serious.

            Unsupporting the red and blue party will shift the power somewhere else from the same two parties that have been ruling for a century. The only thing preventing someone else from winning is the narrative that a third party can never win. The same narrative continues to be told election after election decade after decade, it’s not so hard to see how it’s been used by the government to never really change administration and cycle in power the red and blue party.

              Let’s pretend for a second the largest third parties were viable. That leaves us a brain worm antivaxxer, an anarchocapitalist, and a Russian asset. Are any of those really better?

                They aint gonna give you a straight answer assuming they will answer at all, cause they are lying about their reasons either to you and/or themselves. But yeah even including third parties the Dems are generally the best, Democratic Socialists and localised parties not withstanding since they generally caucus with the Dems nationally.

                US government is supporting a genocide, ramping up WW3 and entrusting elon musk the military space sector. I think it’s going to take anyone some serious effort to make it worst than that.
