      Yeah, I’m sure Trump will help Gaza all day long if elected…

      You have the choice between someone who doesn’t care enough and someone who doesn’t care at all. I’ll vote for the one who doesn’t care enough.

          I definitely have a better opinion of people who vote for third party candidates than people who don’t vote at all. A major problem with our current elections is that it’s far more mud-slinging about the opposition than positivity. If the race becomes a little bit less two-party, candidates might start talking about their advantages, rather than deriding the opponents.

          That said, it will still do nothing healthy for this election - it’s a long-term strategy, in a world where a bad president can do so much damage in the short term.

            Thank you stranger! I completely agree. I can’t keep track of what I’ve said and what threads, but my whole basic idea is if you’re not in a swing state then vote third party. I completely agree it’s a long term strategy.

            You’ve clearly never heard of 3rd party candidates then! If you have heard of them, I want you to ask yourself why you feel compelled to so overly simplify a situation that you boil it down to a blatant lie.

              They don’t matter in a first past the post election. They’re the functional equivalent of not voting, or voting for Mikey Mouse.

                  I didn’t lie. There’s no other candidates. You can write whatever name you want, but only either Joe Biden or Donald Trump will win.

                    Okay when you blatantly lie like that. I know there’s no reasoning with you. It’s like when Trump supporters refused to admit when he’s lied about something. You just told me something about third party candidates but also told me they don’t exist. You’re clearly contradicting yourself and you clearly know better.

                    3rd party candidates clearly do exist. Third party candidates have even won elections in this country. I’ll admit it’s been a long time. Do you realize the primary obstacle third parties face is the very mentality you’re exhibiting? If we don’t organize and try to actually do better, we will never do better.

                    I don’t think speaking with you will be productive, so this will probably be my last message to you. Good luck dude✌️😎

                  Mean tweet orange guy also supports the genocide. With the added caveat that he wpuld like to expedite this genocide because not enough people are dying.

              Cutting off your nose to spite your face doesn’t make you a visionary, it makes you a stupid child that’s never known real suffering.

              You are either the stupid child, or a liar pretending to be one. I have immense sympathy for the child, you will suffer greatly.

              The liar should die.

                  Democrats have failed to offer any viable alternative. Even when golden opportunities present themselves they choose corporations over the people. Every single time.

                    This is completely wrong. They way to look at the objectively is to follow the money. The first thing Biden did was raise the minimum taxes on corporations from 0% to 15%. Even if that was the only thing Biden did it would still be more significant than every other thing combined. But he’s done lots of other things corporations don’t like.

            Not the people who actually voted for Trump - it’s leftists with any standards whatsoever (funding genocide) who are the reason.

                I mean… okay. But mostly the most powerful man on the planet ignoring the will of the people he needs in order to be re-elected.

                History will not be kind to Joe Biden.

      Don’t just think about the position of president. Think about the thousands of appointments they make. It’s not voting for 1 position, it’s voting for an entire branch of government, potentially 2. Whatever you think about them, remember that it’s gonna be either Biden or Trump appointing all those positions, so even if you hate both of them equally, add up all the incredibly powerful positions they appoint and compare the sum of it all. It’s a compounding magnitude, so I cannot imagine how anyone can not have a preference when you are considering the full reach and impact that the 1 position has. Supreme court justices, federal judges, agency and department heads, countless secretaries, regulatory board heads, ambassadors and more and more, plus all the influence on positions those appointees have below them.

        Neolibs trying to shame people into voting for and keep whining when called out.

          No one is being shamed here. The title of the article is a simple truth. And if you actually read the article, you’d have seen that it’s pretty well explained and understood fact.

          But that’s not your game here, is it? I mean, your post and comment history illustrates the fact that from appearances… you’re here in bad faith.

          You- and MANY like you here, are seemingly only critical of the left- NEVER the right. You’ve been called out for this before. And yet, you never have an explanation for it. Also….Anyone can check your comment history in the mod logs to see how much misinformation is shared by you. So it’s no big secret anymore why you are here and what you’re about.

          But don’t let this get in the way of- whatever it is you think you’re doing here.
