I definitely have a better opinion of people who vote for third party candidates than people who don't vote at all. A major problem with our current elections is that it's far more mud-slinging about the opposition than positivity. If the race becomes a little bit less two-party, candidates might start talking about their advantages, rather than deriding the opponents.
That said, it will still do nothing healthy for this election - it's a long-term strategy, in a world where a bad president can do so much damage in the short term.
Thank you stranger! I completely agree. I can't keep track of what I've said and what threads, but my whole basic idea is if you're not in a swing state then vote third party. I completely agree it's a long term strategy.
You've clearly never heard of 3rd party candidates then! If you have heard of them, I want you to ask yourself why you feel compelled to so overly simplify a situation that you boil it down to a blatant lie.
Okay when you blatantly lie like that. I know there's no reasoning with you. It's like when Trump supporters refused to admit when he's lied about something. You just told me something about third party candidates but also told me they don't exist. You're clearly contradicting yourself and you clearly know better.
3rd party candidates clearly do exist. Third party candidates have even won elections in this country. I'll admit it's been a long time. Do you realize the primary obstacle third parties face is the very mentality you're exhibiting? If we don't organize and try to actually do better, we will never do better.
I don't think speaking with you will be productive, so this will probably be my last message to you. Good luck dude✌️😎
So I can live with the maturity level of seeing two awful candidates and choosing not to choose either one. I feel like my own point still stands, that the distinction between fascism and genocide shouldn't be a thing I have to choose to live with.
I don't like Trump, and I won't be voting for him, but I also don't like the precedents set by Biden in a few areas, and his inability to reign in the escalation in Gaza despite having the levers available to pull to immediately ease immense human suffering.
If there was a candidate like say, Obama, available to vote for this would be easy and straightforward. A bumbling senile idiot/puppet or a hostile fascist dictator. Don't lump me in with either of the massive pools of idiots that put us here. I'm proud to be outside of this.
Mean tweet orange guy also supports the genocide. With the added caveat that he wpuld like to expedite this genocide because not enough people are dying.
This is the future that the GOP is offering Americans.
Climate Chaos. Huge national debt. Huge income inequality. Nuclear proliferation. Medical industry profiteering. Putin's Evil Empire. The end of democracy.
Democrats have failed to offer any viable alternative. Even when golden opportunities present themselves they choose corporations over the people. Every single time.

This is completely wrong. They way to look at the objectively is to follow the money. The first thing Biden did was raise the minimum taxes on corporations from 0% to 15%. Even if that was the only thing Biden did it would still be more significant than every other thing combined. But he's done lots of other things corporations don't like.
Exactly. It's such a Trumpy thing to say, it's exactly in line with all his other nicknames for people, I don't know how anyone gets taken in by this shit

Sorry, but can you and your strange tribe just fuck off?
that genocide is entirely israels fuckup, in a networked world like ours you can try to shift the blame to everyone, but the real fascists do sit in israel, and they wouldn't be hindered even if the US sanctioned the shit out of them.
I know the US have an "world-police"-image, but that does not mean that the president of the US of A is the chief cop for the middle east.
Also, Trump will do fuck-all for Gaza, so try preventing fascism at home before sticking your fingers in the middle east - again
Don't just think about the position of president. Think about the thousands of appointments they make. It's not voting for 1 position, it's voting for an entire branch of government, potentially 2. Whatever you think about them, remember that it's gonna be either Biden or Trump appointing all those positions, so even if you hate both of them equally, add up all the incredibly powerful positions they appoint and compare the sum of it all. It's a compounding magnitude, so I cannot imagine how anyone can not have a preference when you are considering the full reach and impact that the 1 position has. Supreme court justices, federal judges, agency and department heads, countless secretaries, regulatory board heads, ambassadors and more and more, plus all the influence on positions those appointees have below them.
