@CoachMark @freemo @WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews The same Stein that's in Putin's pocket?
🇳🇱
Thats why I said Chase Oliver is my first choice.. Stein would be a compromise at best... basically anything is better then Harris vs Trump.
@freemo @Burnt_Veggies @CoachMark @WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews Again, you’re treating the election like a marriage, so you will only vote for the “perfect” candidate that checks all of your boxes, even if he has zero chance of ever being President. Elections need to be approached like trying to get where you wanna go by bus, only you find out no bus that you can take will get you there. The logical thing to do in that situation is to take the bus that gets you as close to where you want to go as possible, and then look for another bus that will get you even closer. But you go ahead and have your little protest vote and if Trump wins because of morons like you, it’s on your head.
I never once said I would only vote for the perfect canddidate. None of the candidates are perfect, if that were the case I wouldnt be voting.
No, my line in the sand is simple, I wont vote for an evil person or vote in a way that perpetuates a two party system (which itself is evil and fascist in its nature).
> Those parties can change, but it usually requires some sort of cataclysm first.
The two main parties int he USA have flipped 8 times in the history of the USA. In those 8 times every single time the new party that became a majority party had very little (~1% support) the year before.
The only thing that is real about the 2-party system is that it gives the **illusion** of a two party system because the parties change abruptly and the vote doesnt tend to reflect actual support.
> So, voting outside of those two parties really, truly is nothing but performative.
Since your axiom is false so is your conclusion. You also are under the mistaken impression that a vote that happens to be for the winner somehow has more value. Being right doesnt have any value add to your vote.
> If someone is committed to voting third party, my only response is: What the fuck?
Thats basically my response whenever someone says their voting one of the major two parties. Sounds like they should be in a straight jacket its so outlandish.
@Burnt_Veggies @CoachMark @WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews
Nothing remotely american about a two party system except the stupidity to believe it is real.
@freemo Oh I see! So you hate the two-party system! What else do you hate? The Constitution? Maybe you need to find another country to live in that’s more to your liking?
