    I’m also not a Trump voter that can’t morally vote for Biden. I’ll likely throw my vote away on a 3rd party so I can sleep at night.

    I’m convinced the D’s are actively throwing this election. Its too lucrative to say “Not Trump” and get donations. Biden is a worse candidate than Hillary and we all know how that one went.

      Spoiler: You’re a Trump supporter.

      That’s just because you don’t understand FPTP. “Throwing away your vote to 3rd party” is not throwing away anything, it’s giving 1 less vote for Trump to win. Same as not voting at all. Dems are not looking at the 3rd party and having remorse they should have picked someone else. Your attempt does nothing but hurt.

      And everybody knows what a 3rd party means. 3rd parties are heavily funded by the opposition to take away from the party they aligned the most with. GOP will directly fund dems 3rd party to make them lose.

      Giving an edge to Trump let’s you sleep at night, but some of us have women and children in our lives that depend on Trump not getting into office, so you go ahead and sleep.

      Edit: this is also you laughing at men in drag supporting Gaza:

      That’s hilarious…they understand they’d be stoned to death in Gaza right? That is an odd odd thing.

      You are here crying genocide but you think Gaza is a shithole that we shouldn’t support because their government stones ppl. Nobody takes you seriously, your problem with Biden isn’t Israel, that’s just how you save face for being a bigot.

        So if I don’t vote for Trump, or vote 3rd party, AND don’t vote for Biden, is that one less vote for Biden to win? Not voting for any of them can’t possibly mean I’m benefitting all of the candidates at the same time, right?

        …I may have confused myself, slightly sleep deprived.

            Except in reality where unless you live in a swing state, a non vote doesn’t change much. Abstaining in California doesn’t support Trump, nor would Abstaining in Kentucky. Unless the smallest of statistical outcomes happens those states are locked, and if were going to decide based on small possibilities, may as well just vote for a candidate you actually want.

              Ok but then it will take you 4 years to realize you would have made a difference had to voted. That’s pretty stupid and still gives the best chance to the person you want the least.

        I know no one takes me seriously. The Democrats have ground that into my skull since halfway through Obama’s term.

        It’s also why Biden is down 5 points.

        I shrug at this point. The Internet is not a real place.

          Just because you don’t fit on the internet doesn’t mean it’s not a real place.

          I just explained why your arguments are flawed, and instead of thinking about it, looking it up or even attempting to defend it with facts, you give up and say youre misunderstood.

          This is what you want, you want to have to stop dealing with other opinions and do whatever you want. We call that a dictatorship.

          I also bet youre a white male who has no horse in the race of most policies Trump is destroying
