The discourse on American politics sometimes devolves to “Leftists who won’t vote” & “MAGA Republicans” teaming up to “getting revenge on liberals”.

    I’m voting for a third party instead of the slightly less evil fascist. I recommend y’all do as well. Dr. West and Claudia La Cruz are good options.

    If you’re not in a swing state I recommend you do the same.

            Nope, it’s actually a vote for a third party. Vote for Biden is a vote for Trump. See how dumb that sounds?

              A third party has literally no chance of winning. By voting for a third party or abstaining from voting, you are taking a vote away from Biden and thereby aiding Trump.

              If you’re too ignorant to understand that, then I can’t help you

              The fact that you’d rather let Trump win to stick it to Biden than try to prevent literal fascists from taking over our nation says a lot about you as a person.

                it’s my vote to give and it’s biden’s vote to earn. it’s not like he doesn’t know what cornel west voters want. he just doesn’t care to earn that vote.

                it is. a vote for any person must be counted for that person. they cannot count my vote for cornel west as a vote for biden.

                  Your vote for West means nothing when there is zero chance they’ll win. You are throwing away a vote that could have been used to combat Trump.

                  By voting for third party, you may as well not be voting at all. And in both cases, you are saying you don’t care who wins. Which means you don’t care if Trump wins. Which means you are complicit in Trump’s victory if it is to happen.

                  So I will blame all of you just as much as the Reps if that comes to pass, and the blood will be on your hands as well.

                    no… by voting I’m saying who I want to win.

                    if the situation is as dire as you say, and the Democrats put up Biden as a candidate knowing that I won’t vote for him, and you don’t stop the Democrats from putting up Biden, your complicit in Trump’s victory.

                    you can see how that makes just as much sense, right, and how it’s just as wrong?
