The only way in the US system to throw a protest vote without it being a spoiler vote is to vote for the 3rd party which siphons votes from the candidate you want the least.

So since you prefer Biden over Trump, you should be voting for the libertarian candidate instead of West.

this is a lie. the votes don't belong to biden. they belong to me. if i give it to someone, it's not taking it from anyone else.

voting isn't a protest, so this term makes no sense.

what are you going to be doing to help Palestinian people?

What specifically does any of that mean?

[–] core@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

i don't talk about my personal organizing here. go find an org and help out.

Are you accusing me of being uncharitable towards others because I asked you to clarify what you meant?

Uhm, OK.

Are you accusing me of being uncharitable towards others

no. i'm telling you that's the best way to find out what i do.

[–] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

How can I find out what you do if you refuse to tell me what organization I should go to?

[–] core@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago

you will have better luck blindly joining leftist orgs than asking me for more details here.

Can you please just do 1 response to 1 statement? This comment chain is going to grow exponentially if I respond to each thing that could have really just been 1 message to prevent repeating.

[–] core@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

i don't like walls of text. if you don't want to talk to me, please don't

[–] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

Okay!

Great, and what are you going to say to all of the LGBT folk who get legislated out of existence because of your failure to protect them?

[–] core@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I do what I can to protect vulnerable people. I don't believe voting accomplishes that.

[–] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Voting third party is no vote at all. Therefore you are refusing to combat Trump, and so are complicit in his victory if it happens.

You are just as much to blame as the Reps if he wins.

no. everyone is only responsible for their own actions. I'll be voting against trump

[–] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Then vote Biden, or you’re not voting at all. Third party means nothing.

[–] core@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago

this is election misinformation. my vote must be counted like anybody else.

[–] core@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

any vote that is not for trump is a vote against trump

[–] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

False. If you do not vote Biden, you are throwing away a vote against Trump. Voting third party is no vote at all.
