And I’m being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don’t understand it. Can someone please “steelman” that argument for me?

          I just want to hear you say that votes cast not for your party aren’t legitimate votes

            In a 2 party system, voting for a 3rd party doesn’t count. Not of course in a literal sense, they are counted…but they provide zero value.

              Never what I said, nor intended

              voting for a 3rd party doesn’t count

              Whoomp, there it is.
