    I asked for a name that has a reasonable chance of beating both Trump and Biden. I see that West has 2% support. That is not a reasonable chance, so that name is not the name I asked for.

    Also, you have contradicted yourself, because Cornel West is not a Green party candidate. Therefore, based on your previous post, he won’t have that (evidence-free) 99% chance of winning.

    Odd that this name for a candidate that can win is so hard for you to come up with.

      Donald Trump. he has a high percentage chance to win.

      That’s what you’re looking for right? Someone with a high win percentage?

      Or are you looking for someone that endorses your views with a win percentage? I hear Joe Biden endorses Genocide, do you endorse genocide?

        Nope, this is what I have asked you for multiple times:

        Please name the third party candidate that has a reasonable chance of beating both Trump and Biden.

        If there is no candidate that has such a chance, why bother voting?

          Because if the amount of voters for a different candidate increases then it will be noticed. It will do two things:

          • Force the Dems to move back more to the left actually to win back those votes

          • The next time around people will consider it a more viable option.

          Asking for them to win directly is basically a catch22.

          If you keep voting Democrat now you very explicitly endorse that you are content with their current policies.

            That didn’t happen with Perot or Nader. I find it very hard to believe that would happen this time.

            Why can’t you just admit that you can’t give me a name?

              If you don’t want to vote for someone who doens’t have a chance of winning then just stay home

                I didn’t say anyone should stay home.

                I said:

                If there is no candidate that has such a chance, why bother voting?

                You have not given me a good reason. Your reason so far is not supported by history. Neither Perot nor Nader changed a thing. Unless you can give me a good reason why that will be different this time around, you are grasping at straws.

                If you want to vote, fine. Go ahead. I just don’t see why you’re bothering when you can’t even give a good reason. Seems like a lot of effort for nothing.
