You don't have to wait it's already happening. Vote red and blue out

[–] rusticus@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Go back to Russia shill. No rational human would equate red and blue.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I challenge you to locate russia on a map

[–] rusticus@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Don’t need to. I’d just ask you to tell me where homeland is lol.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works -1 points 5 months ago

planet earth, i wonder what is yours

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Who exactly am I supposed to vote for that has a credible chance of beating both Trump and Biden?

[–] index@sh.itjust.works -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You can vote for whoever you want, at this point pretty much everyone has a chance to beat these two mad men

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's ludicrous. You show me one poll that agrees with you.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You are supposed to vote for the best nominee not according to made up poll

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Maybe you throw your vote away on someone who has zero chance of winning, but that's not how I vote.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Votes aren't like your bigmac, you can't throw them away

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You absolutely can. By voting for someone who has no chance of winning. It's purely a thing to make you feel good about yourself. And no one will know either. You could claim you voted for Cornel West but actually vote for Trump and no one will be able to say you were lying.

I'm never going to get what I want, so I vote pragmatically. And stopping the guy who literally says he's going to be a dictator seems like a pretty fucking important thing to do.

Children in gaza and in the middle east will be the judges of your vote

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How many Palestinian children's lives will voting for a candidate that will definitely lose save?

[–] index@sh.itjust.works -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not supporting these fueling the genocide could indeed save lives.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You didn't answer my question.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You sound brainwashed, i presume that by "candidate that will definitely lose" you mean someone that isn't strictly part of the red and blue party. In this case not supporting any of these and voting for someone else could indeed save lives.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This goes back to my original question- which candidate other than Trump or Biden has a chance of winning? You certainly haven't named them.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Any candidate has the same chances of winning otherwise the election would be rigged

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No. That is not how elections have ever worked. It has never been that every candidate has an equal chance of winning. Not in ancient Athens and not today in the U.S.

There's a reason why polling is done.

There’s a reason why polling is done.

polls can be rigged
