    Yeah but one is trying to control women’s bodies and erase LGBT people and the other isn’t, so maybe think of your neighbors when you pull the lever in defense of those who don’t have the privilege of being able to lay low when shit goes south.

    Or if you’re among the above vote in your own interests lol

      the other isn’t

      LOL

      I saw how the Democrats responded to the Roe leak. They fundraised.

      That is it.

      $80,000,000 was the cost of your bodily autonomy, so at this point, I’m not really able to pretend that Biden’s going to stand, drooling over the Resolute Desk, and do anything meaningful to stop the spread of fascism.

      Idaho got away with criminalizing abortion, so now, 2/3 of the states will follow within the next year. You can bank on it.

            So you’re voting for the end of America and in full support of destroying democracy, all just because you’re an ignorantly proud and stubborn dumb fuck.

            Nice.

            There’s something pure about a Green candidate. The fact that they stand no chance of winning is kinda Zen, they’ll never stop being a candidate.

            It’s absolutely ghoulish to throw your vote away on Green when so many stand to suffer when the left splits their votes, but it is pretty Zen if you care more about abstract principles than human suffering.

              The reason yall are in this mess is cause you quit caring about abstract principles a long time ago.

                You’re exactly 100% wrong. The reason we’re in this mess is because we let perfect be the enemy of better, and prioritized unactionable abstract principles over tangible policy.

                Every third party vote is an admission that the voter prefers pristine, incorruptible (because it will never suffer the test of implementation) fantasy over ugly but effective pragmatism.

                  No. It’s because yall gave the democratic party near ties instead of complete blowouts that would force strategy change. Just one 80-20 election would have changed everything. Republican voters are voting for what they want while you sad pseudo intellectuals support what you don’t.

                    Uhh… you know, usually if someone loses that hard in popular consensus, it’s a pretty widely accepted strategy to get their policies closer to the ones who won.

                    Like how after three consecutive Republican terms, the left propped up Clinton.

            Ah, so you’re a Russian shill then. Voting 3rd party is as effective S not voting. You’re pulling for Trump.

                    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.
