It was a joke. But functionally, you’re throwing your vote away. If you care so much about 3rd-party candidates, instead help us pass ranked-choice voting!
honestly, i don’t. i vote because it takes like no effort, but i vote for people i actually want to win. i’m not terribly invested in whether they do, though: every politician i’ve ever voted for who won turned out to be a terrible disappointment.
theres no expertise needed. we can ask him why he chose to run as a democrat.
“There’s no secret that I think that the Democratic Party has not been vigorous enough in standing up for working families. I’ve said that repeatedly and I say it again,” Sanders told Seven Days. “On the other hand, I will also tell you [there are] some great people in the Democratic Party that I work closely with. But right now, it seems to me the most effective and practical way to go forward is to participate in the Democratic primary process.”
That’s not why. That isn’t about third party politics or running for the DNC nom as a third party pol. You can read what he said about it in his book called Our Revolution.
you don’t need to know anything about so-called “third party” politics to know that if you count a vote for one person as another, that’s illegal and it is not the policy to count green votes as republican votes.
This is a weird comment. It’s not “so called,” It’s actually called third party politics. And Bernie is the longest serving third party politician I think ever, at least in modern history.
this is election misinformation.

Weird. Based on your comments, you’re clearly a rational, empathetic individual open to intelligent discussion, so the issue can’t be you…
i know. the issue is unjust hierarchies.
no, thank you. i don’t want that system any more than the current one.
Oh you know so much about third party politics, tell us why did Bernie run for president in the Democratic primary?
i don’t see the point of this question. it’s clearly rhetorical. if you have something to say, say it.
I think we’d all like to hear your expert take.

do you have a point?
Your understanding of this subject is a mile wide and an inch deep.
yea, well, that’s just, like, you’re opinion, man
