        A vote for third party is a vote for Trump.

        You may not like it, but that’s what we have to do with.

          Sounds like your problem? You liberals should have nominated someone who doesn’t commit genocide. I live in Texas and my vote is ceremonial anyway. I’m voting third party and if that results in Trump, that’s your fucking problem to deal with, liberal. I don’t see Trump or Biden as meaningfully different and if anyone wants my vote, they have to appeal to me and my political interests.

          Biden still owes me another stimulus check. Fuck him. I don’t owe Democrats anything.

            Holy shit, hilarious. Thanks for demonstrating the typical intelligence of a “muh both sides!”-er.

              Cool. Enjoy my third party vote that results in Trump I guess. Do you think I’ll vote for Biden if you call me an idiot enough times?

                Holy shit, hilarious. Someone who is a complete asshole to someone else for no reason is now all of a sudden indignant that someone wasn’t nice to them. Thanks, again, for a further demonstration!

                  I’m an asshole to Biden and Democrats because they’re complicit in genocide, that’s where I’m directing my anger. If I was rude to someone here, I didn’t realize nor do I think I said anything rude to anyone.

                Your statement “that’s your fucking problem to deal with, liberal” tells me you wouldn’t vote for Biden even if he gave you another stimulus check. You sound like a staunch Republican to me, you just drew the line at Trump. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if you voted Trump once you’re in the ballot box.

                Do your thing dude.

                  I’m a communist. Left wing. I was prepared to vote for Sanders in a general election in 2016 and 2020 but the Democrats decided against me being allowed to do that.

                  I wouldn’t ever vote for Biden at this point because he’s complicit in the genocide of Palestinians. If the Democrats instead nominate someone with a platform similar to the 2020 Sanders platform, then I’d vote for them. It’s as easy as that.

                    not voting for someone because of your “flavour of the month” issue that has no impact to you seems to be the stupidest thing someone could do, given the stakes involved.

                    but you do you

              If you can write out the math where I, voting 3rd party, add a vote to Trump’s tally, and I will personally give you one billion dollars.

                Lol. Trump is a fascist and has about a 35% ceiling for fascist voters in the US. Any vote you take away from his ONLY competition (in this case Biden) moves him one vote closer to victory. Keep your (nonexistent) money imbecile.

                The thinking is that 3rd party votes will lessen the amount of votes Biden gets, thus allowing Trump to win.

                You aren’t actually adding a vote to Trump’s tally, you are subtracting one from Biden.

                Most of the Independents I know skew towards the Republican side anyway, so I’m just a little inclined to think a 3rd party vote will actually subtract from Trump’s tally, but I’m just a little old blue lady down in Louisiana, so what do I know?

                  Nobody in my very conservative family is happy w/ Trump OR Biden.

                  If they decided to go 3rd party, are they also voting for Biden? For Trump? They’ve committed voter fraud? Wait what?

                    I can’t even imagine how that is your take-away from my comment. If your very conservative family vote 3rd party, they are voting 3rd party. Not for Biden or Trump.

                    My comment is attempting to point out that 3rd party votes are going to have a consequence.
