The discourse on American politics sometimes devolves to “Leftists who won’t vote” & “MAGA Republicans” teaming up to “getting revenge on liberals”.

      When trump wins with your help, what are you going to be doing to help Palestinian people?

      It will be too late, won’t it?

          The only way in the US system to throw a protest vote without it being a spoiler vote is to vote for the 3rd party which siphons votes from the candidate you want the least.

          So since you prefer Biden over Trump, you should be voting for the libertarian candidate instead of West.

            this is a lie. the votes don’t belong to biden. they belong to me. if i give it to someone, it’s not taking it from anyone else.

            voting isn’t a protest, so this term makes no sense.

                  Can you please just do 1 response to 1 statement? This comment chain is going to grow exponentially if I respond to each thing that could have really just been 1 message to prevent repeating.

                    you will have better luck blindly joining leftist orgs than asking me for more details here.

            I do what I can to protect vulnerable people. I don’t believe voting accomplishes that.

              Voting third party is no vote at all. Therefore you are refusing to combat Trump, and so are complicit in his victory if it happens.

              You are just as much to blame as the Reps if he wins.

                  False. If you do not vote Biden, you are throwing away a vote against Trump. Voting third party is no vote at all.
