      If that’s your best option, that’s what you have to do.

      This is how logic and critical thinking work.

      Can you provide a better alternative?

        I’d say Jill Stein would probably be the best option for them of the choices we have.

          She’s not an option given the current state of the democratic system used in the country.

          The only way it works is if people banded together and changed the system, then a 3rd party system becomes viable.

              If you think that’s how elections currently work in the United States, nothing I can say will help you.

              For a 3rd party candidate to be viable, there would need to be enormous system changes or a very successful write in campaign.

              I would love for other candidates to be an option, but that’s currently not the case.

              By all means agitate for a better voting system. But until you have something other than FPP voting third party will do the opposite of what you want. This is a well known paradox of FPP, it has been well studied

                Im voting for a better voting system. Jill also has ranked choice voting as a campaign platform. I think you’ll have a better chance trying to convince Trump supporters to join Zionist Biden’s campaign than me, and with much better returns on your goal of not electing Trump.

                  In FPP voting far left supports the RW candidate. That’s the paradox and that’s just math. Your feelings on the matter don’t change that unfortunately

            Yeah, more people should be voting for her. Like, if you care about stuff like Biden using emergency powers to bypass congress to send missiles to Israel to help kill more Gazan civilians.
