        I’m not ignoring reality at all.

        The “reality” is that here in the US, we have a right to vote for who we want. You can keep bullying and trying to get me to change my mind, but I am voting for who I want. And this year, it’s Jill Stein.

          Im not bullying you. You can vote for whoever you please, like you say.

          But the reality is, in the current broken election system, a vote for 3rd party is the same as putting your vote in the bin, or spoiling it

            Very true. And the ONLY way to fix that election system is by voting for who we think will fix that, and not just who we think may win. When do we finally make this move?

            Everyone says, “Oh not THIS election. THIS election is too important to try to change things now!”

            Guess what? They have been fucking saying that for the last 50 years. lmao

              Yes, voting for a candidate who is almost guaranteed to not get elected, and end up with the party less likely to want to fix it.

              good plan! good luck 👍

                So should we ONLY vote one we think is going to win then?

                How about we vote for who we WANT to win. And I want Jill Stein to win. I don’t look at the odds, I look at the platform and the policies.

                  You are entirely missing the point. That’s ok. In the grand scheme of things, whats one single vote, right?

                    Exactly. You have no reason to be upset then.
