    If the Green candidate wins one single electoral vote I will donate $50 to the charity of your choice. Surely you wouldn’t throw your vote away on a guaranteed loss so what have you got to lose?

    Surely this year they’ll actually run in all 50 states.

      I think you need to reevaluate what winning means.

      How badly do the Dems have to betray you before you’re willing to do anything different? Was it not enough to see them shrug their shoulders and the doubling and tripling of the cost of living? What about when Roe was repealed and all they did with their majority was fundraise? Or how about that time when you needed aid to live, or someone you know did, and instead they sent your tax money to fund the genocide of children?

      When is it enough?

        There is nothing you’re going to say that will convince me I need to hand the keys back to Trump. You’re out of your fucking mind of you think I won’t vote for Biden despite my many issues with him. There is no other choice to be made. I will not consign many of my friends and family to a fate under that administration just because I am a privileged white dude who won’t be touched by it and want to claim faux moral highground.

        I voted Green in 2012 by the way so maybe stop and think for a second before you paint me with broad strokes.

          So you say.

          I voted Biden in 2020. I knew he’d do nothing to help the poor, and he didn’t, but I did think he’d do something to stop the rise of fascism.

          He failed there too. It should be impossible for Trump to run now, but we elected an impotent piece of shit who was only concerned about getting wealthier and keeping his scumbag son out of prison.

          You’ve seen Biden fail at stopping fascism for four years now. Now Biden can’t even form a coherent thought, and needs handlers to make sure he doesn’t wander off.

          How you manage to convince yourself that a vote for Biden matters in the slightest I do not understand.

            It’s incredibly easy because I’m not a selfish piece of shit
