      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.

          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?

              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?

                  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.
