When the third party candidate admits that their campaign is solely to siphon away votes from Democrats? And the Republican alternative has actively stated Palestine should be wiped out by Israel?
Can't vote Democrat because support of Israel. That means you also can't support Republicans, because they support the full extent of the genocide even more. And that means you can't support (most) 3rd party candidates, because the Green Party is primarily funded by Republican donors and, quote,
So that leaves us with... A candidate who at least is saying a 2 state solution, and one who told Israel to finish the job. Plus you know, all of the American focused policies, such as education.
With this in mind, and with how the events of 2016's election turned out, you can understand why people are suspicious about 3rd party voting, right?
By "How 2016 turned out" you mean the Democrats ran a conservative, establishment Democrat when literally everyone was saying we want change? Then she was beaten by an "outsider" and the Democrats went all 'shocked Pikachu face' and blamed progressives for their choices?
Dems think that we owe them our votes while they refuse to represent us. That is not democracy.
Wrong.
You know, reasons why are a lot more engaging than just outright dismissal, but whatever I guess.
Two responses.
One just says wrong.
The other actually engages with you on the topic.
Yet you respond only to the one that just says "wrong" complaining that they didn't engage you on the topic.
Self righteous smugness is a hell of a drug, isn't it?
What you don't realize is that I did write up a response to the other one. Then I got distracted, the app closed, I lost my response and I moved on.
But sure, insult me more. Good discussion.
Nuh-uh
