I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can’t believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C’mon guys

    In the realities of the US electoral system, a vote for a third party is akin to a vote for Trump. Twist and spin all you want, but that’s reality.

    Anyone who argues this is either naive, or a disinformation Russian asset.

        While technically “possible”, the likelihood of Trump supporters switching to vote 3rd party is very low at this point.

        Just about everyone talking about voting third party is a progressive that would have voted for Biden. If they weren’t being duped by Russians.

          Explain “duped by Russians”, and how trump voters are not being duped by Russians while unconvinced biden voters are.

            They are being duped by Russians… into voting for Trump. But anyway, the question is who the third party voter would have voted for otherwise.
