    I am a libertarian minarchist. Look it up before you form ideas.

    I don’t like Harris but I’d much rather have her over Trump. And that’s how I’ll vote.

    I strongly recommend everyone should research your local elections and vote for candidates that best represent your views and mindsets on a local level. The FPtP system makes third parties mostly unviable in influencing national policy.

      …i’m a progressive libertarian: the terms used represent something entirely different from the perversion of twenty-first-century political branding…

      …i’ve begrudgingly voted democratic in the past two election cycles only because i draw a hard line at open fascism; i’ll never forgive the republican party for forcing my hand and look forward to a future after they’ve imploded and i can resume voting for causes i support rather than the enemy of my enemy…

      I too will vote Harris, but I think it’s important to understand that voting out of fear is not going to fix our extremely broken two party system. Voting third party is not a vote for Trump, I think it’s often a vote born of a broken two party system.

      Despite knowing that I can’t bring myself to vote third party out of fear that I may not get another chance to vote if Trump takes power.

        It literally exactly is a vote for trump. We have shown you morons the math a million times by now, you’re just being willfully resistant to acknowledging what you’re doing to endanger the republic.

          Settle down and re-read what I wrote. I’m not voting for Trump. I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say a third party is crucial for our Republic.

            The math has been explained to you endlessly. You can’t escape voting for either Harris or Trump because you want to pretend you’re above it all and superior to us who have to live with the consequences of supposed good people like you standing there and doing nothing.

              I again think you need to settle down. I am not voting third party because I like you apparently will just view out of fear.

              That said, The math had not been explained to me so show it to me. post it for anyone who agrees with me. Show me the math.

              Next you’ve decided that I have some feeling of superiority. I don’t. I simply think the two party system has failed us and needs to change. People in power have a stake in keeping a two party system for their own benefit, and it infuriates me.

        The only way things change is if more people are informed and active. Do what you can to help implement ranked choice voting.
