    The Greens have a 99% chance of winning if everyone stops acting like Biden is holding a gun against their heads to prevent them from voting differently.

      I see, so if something that is almost certainly not going to happen happens, a Green candidate who you have not named has a 99% chance of beating Trump.

      That’s not what I asked. I didn’t ask for special, very unlikely circumstances.

      Name the third party candidate who has a good chance of winning as things stand now. Just give me a name.

          Your wild guess percentages based on zero evidence are not a name. You still have not given me a name. Who am I supposed to vote for if you won’t even give me a name?

              I asked for a name that has a reasonable chance of beating both Trump and Biden. I see that West has 2% support. That is not a reasonable chance, so that name is not the name I asked for.

              Also, you have contradicted yourself, because Cornel West is not a Green party candidate. Therefore, based on your previous post, he won’t have that (evidence-free) 99% chance of winning.

              Odd that this name for a candidate that can win is so hard for you to come up with.

                Donald Trump. he has a high percentage chance to win.

                That’s what you’re looking for right? Someone with a high win percentage?

                Or are you looking for someone that endorses your views with a win percentage? I hear Joe Biden endorses Genocide, do you endorse genocide?

                  Nope, this is what I have asked you for multiple times:

                  Please name the third party candidate that has a reasonable chance of beating both Trump and Biden.

                  If there is no candidate that has such a chance, why bother voting?

                    Because if the amount of voters for a different candidate increases then it will be noticed. It will do two things:

                    • Force the Dems to move back more to the left actually to win back those votes

                    • The next time around people will consider it a more viable option.

                    Asking for them to win directly is basically a catch22.

                    If you keep voting Democrat now you very explicitly endorse that you are content with their current policies.

      “candidate X would easily win if everybody voted for them”

      No shit, now who are they and how do you propose convincing people to vote for them?
