In 2016, everyone who voted 3rd party got Trump, the candidate they wanted the least.
In 2020, everyone who voted 3rd party was either going to get Biden, (the candidate they are moderately aligned with), or Trump, the candidate they were least aligned with.
In both cases, people who voted 3rd party made their chances worse. If you want more parties, the laws needs to change first, or else you're just wasting your vote and giving it to conservatives, who benefit from your 3rd party vote the most. You may not like it, but you are playing for Conservatives in the political game, and that goes for people who don't vote too.
2016, everyone who voted 3rd party got Trump
everyone who voted for hilary got trump, too
Yes, because we're talking about probabilities. Those who voted for dems had a chance of dems or gop. Those who voted 3rd party had a chance of dems or gop. Dont you see all you did was make it easier for the conservatives?
It's not your fault i guess, America specifically wants their population too dumb and uneducated to understand how our voting systems work.
implying I'm stupid is just ad hominem.
It's not when you have the wiki and the videos explaining a concept established long ago by political scientists and people who actually study this for a living.
In this case your inability to understand the politics is part of the politics, so it's not an ad hominem. But i bet you won't go read the definition of that either. Enjoy the blissful ignorance
you are assuming I don't understand them. you are just calling me stupid without consider8that I might disagree.
you’re just wasting your vote and giving it to conservatives,
no, i'm giving it to leftists.
Why bother voting at all? What difference does your non-Democrat, non-Republican vote make? If you really feel the need to be self-righteous about it, save yourself the energy, stay home, and just tell people you voted for Cornel West or whoever. They'll never know otherwise.
why are you trying to suppress voter turnout?
I'm not trying to suppress anything. It was a question. Again: Why are you expending the energy to vote if you know your candidate won't win?
You haven't answered it. Will you?
you will forgive me if I don't believe you are "just asking questions". it feels like sealioning to me. and I read the repetition and demand for an answer as petulance.
And I read your refusal to answer such a simple question as proving you can't actually back up your reason for voting at all. But sure, personal attacks might convince everyone that your avoidance of the question is actually proof of your righteousness. Let's see how that goes.
I made no personal attacks.
it feels like sealioning to me
Personal attack.
and I read the repetition and demand for an answer as petulance.
Personal attack.
Anything else you want to lie about or are you going to answer my question?
