I voted for Harris yesterday, and I’ll be voting for Harris again tomorrow. Just kidding. Turns out the dead person whose identity I stole wasn’t registered to vote. 😞

So early voting has started in some states. Get out and vote people

I don't know if you've noticed this about Stein voters, but they're very unlikely to switch their vote from Stein to Harris. If anything, there would suddenly be an unexplainable surge in write-in votes for Putin.

Also, the 2000 Presidential election results in Florida:

the electoral votes column juxtaposed with the other columns is just documenting what should be a crime.

Ah yes, the true stolen election. But Al Gore conceded, even though it really was too close to call.

Oh my god what a tight race. I wonder what the closest vote in US history was.

Holy shit, 2,912,790 people voted for Dubya in Florida?! How come nobody noticed this before? I feel like that might have affected the outcome of the election.

over 130 million votes wasted in 2016. We are fucked.

Isn't Al Gore vs Bush an even better example?

If you ignore Katherine Harris and the Brooks Brothers Rioters shutting down the recount

Gore was slatted to win Florida until the SCOTUS ruled to end the recount and hand the election to Bush.

Stein wasn't even the only third party candidate stealing votes. I voted for Gary Johnson with the Libertarian party as a "protest vote". Glancing at national results, he had almost three times as many votes as Stein did.

I was 100% the moron this meme is targeted towards. I voted for Harris yesterday.

But you aren’t a moron if you learned from your mistakes. It means the opposite.

I wish we had ranked choice voting. Then these protest votes would still work and not screw with the system so bad and we could fight the stranglehold of the two party system.

Thanks, bro. Legit appreciate it.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 month ago

I was that moron too in 2016.

Never again.

Hey good on you for being open to change your stance. So many people these days cant.
