@LindaCollins11 genocide isn’t a deal breaker for you that’s interesting
@thejacenallen @LindaCollins11 who are you voting for and why do you think they have any remote chance of winning?
@MattFerrel @thejacenallen @LindaCollins11 I plan to vote for Dean Phillips on Super Tuesday (assuming he has not dropped out like all the good candidates always do before I get to vote) #disenfranchised #primaries
@antares @thejacenallen @LindaCollins11 in that case, who are you voting for in the general election?
@MattFerrel @thejacenallen @LindaCollins11 No point in debating that until we know who won the primaries. We've got to fight for a good candidates in the primaries right now so we can support good candidates in the general. #primariesMatter
@antares @thejacenallen @LindaCollins11 I’ll save you some time: Biden and Trump will be the nominees
If I do not get a chance to vote against Biden in the primaries than I will take the opportunity to vote for a third party in the general. If the GOP comes to there senses or the courts hold DJT accountable for his actions I could end up voting for the GOP candidate, but you suppose that we will once again be tied to our system of never holding anyone to account either in the courts or at the ballot box. This dynamic is what enticed so many people to vote for the iconoclastic populist in 2016.
@antares @MattFerrel @thejacenallen @LindaCollins11 " I will take the opportunity to vote for a third party in the general." I had several conversations with my #Libertarian Cousins back in the day when they were going to vote for #GaryJohnson and #JoJorgenson, I asked them, "Are you prepared to have Trump as a President?" And then I said, "Don't go to sleep having voted for your #FantasyPresident and then wake up to your #NightmareReality." They didn't listen.
@_9CL7T9k8cjnD_ Was my vote for John Kerry in 2004 also a vote for a fantasy president. I knew going in that there was not way George W. Bush was going to loose. Should I have voted for the only person with any chance in that election, or stayed home? Somehow, even though I knew that my vote would not change the election, it was important to me to vote for a president who hadn't sent my friends to die in the Oil Wars. Was I wrong then?
@antares I used to be a #Libertarian, have even owned an AR15, a GLOCK19, and a CZP07, for most of my younger years, until I got out of my #PrivilegedBubble and taught Math and Science in a Harambee Girls School in Kenya with the Peace Corps in the 80s. ONLY YOU can answer the question if you were wrong.
@_9CL7T9k8cjnD_ Thank you for your insight, however I vote for people not parties.
@antares Good for you. I ask you the same question I asked my cousins, "Are you prepared to have Trump as your president?" And I'll add a question, "How many decades do you estimate it will take to mop up the damage Trump has now done?"
