i didn't vote for biden in 2012 or 2020. i won't be doing it this year. if you're worried about dividing the vote, you should help me decide whether we're voting for jill stein or cornel west.

I'm sorry but you live in a land of delusion. That's just not happening this time. We're not there yet. And you posting slightly snarky comments on a very tiny website like this isn't what's going to turn the tide and turn this into a third party country.

We only have two options. I'm not happy with it either but that's where we are.

I know you're planning on splitting the vote by voting for the conservative instead of a leftist, but I'm not calling you delusional. I'm certainly not lying about how many people are on the ballot.

I never claimed you are lying? Did you respond to the right person?

[–] federatingIsTooHard@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

you lied about how many choices we have.

I've literally acknowledged multiple times that there will be other people on the ballot, I simply am saying over and over in reality it's going to be Biden or Trump.

You claiming that I called you a liar and now you claiming that I'm lying... This isn't you being disingenuous is it? You actually didn't understand what I've been saying all this time did you?

You honestly haven't been following this conversation at all, have you?

You claiming that I called you a liar

that's not what i said. i was contrasting my honesty with your dishonesty.

I'm sorry but this is where I tap out. You're clearly not really following this conversation at all and there's no point continuing it :)
