"Anyone who doesn't think exactly like me is a fascist."
Do you not see how this is abrasive? Do you think you are swaying anyone to your side with this kind of discourse?
So lets pretend for the moment that a green party candidate or another random 3rd party won.
Do you think that they'll have a mandate?
What about their legislative agenda?
They're a lame duck.
Without Congress to pass laws they are useless and they have no representation in Congress so that's dead on arrival.
If you legitimately want a 3rd party choice, then you have to advocate for ranked choice voting. Run for your local school board, local legislature. Coalitions are built from the bottom up, not the top down.
Jill Stein can't even bring herself to call Putin a war criminal. Makes me wonder who's financing her campaign. I don't care what her people said about it later, she is obviously compromised.
Cornell West? He probably needs to make alimony payments and thought hey I can use this to sell a book.
Look, Biden is far from perfect, and least Harris presents an option from a different path. Trump isn't going to stop Israel. Did you see what Miriam Adelson made Trump promise to do for her support? Let Israel annex the West Bank.
The only thing that might stop that is voting for Harris. And if you don't, then you're co-signing genocide. But that's your choice. Tankies always go for the end justifies the means route. I guess that that means finishing up the Palestinian genocide. Better to kill em quick than to let them suffer longer right? Why not give Ukraine to Putin too right?
My guy, reread my original comment very slowly. I'm talking about people who would otherwise not vote.
I would rather someome VOTE than NOT VOTE. Period.
They should vote for people who will advance their interests, not Russian plants to elect Trump to a second term.
