For Harris supporters who oppose 3rd parties: 2 questions.

(1) How will you get the US to stop funding Israeli genocide?;

and,

(2), what are the chances of your proposal(s) succeeding before, say, 2075?

    you’re demonstrating at least one logical fallacy - the false dichotomy that our only choices are “vote for genocide” or “vote against genocide”. this grossly misrepresents the situation. and I’m pretty sure you know what you’re doing.

    if you want to change things, do it from the ground up not the top down. vote for the “little” positions, the local elections. they’ve put us in this position with these small roles and gerrymandering. fix the illness, not the symptoms.

      But…but…but…that’s not a magic bullet with instant gratification! We expect it to work like Amazon where we just order the thing we want and get it the next day.

      If a pro-genocide Republican, a pro-Genocide Democrat, and anti-genocide 3rd party candidate runs, who should a voter vote for?

        Ooooo! Can I play?

        Let’s say that you have a pro-genocide Republican, a pro-genocide Democrat, and an anti-genocide 3rd party candidate, but the anti-genocide candidate also wants to give all school children machine guns and grenades, and require cars to intentionally run down pedestrians?

        Or or or let’s say that the anti-genocide candidate’s campaign is so bad that her own party is telling her drop out? .

          Huh?

          As intelligent and informed as we all know Europeans are compared to us dumb-fuck North Americans, could the average European explain to us the role of the Electoral College in American politics; and that if 5 million Californians who voted for Biden, vote for Stein, West, Oliver, or that tankie, Del la Cruz, the state would probably still go blue in 90 hours?
