When I vote for a third party, I am voting for the candidate I most strongly identify with.
you know, like in a democracy.
"Voting for either party is a vote of confidence in the regime."
this is incredibly naive.
voting third party as a "protest" is like holding your hand under a blowtorch.
yeah, you'll get some attention, but it's not really going to help you out and you probably didn't have a good reason for doing it in the first place.
"It will only work if enough people do it to rattle the current arrangement."
maybe. No evidence for that, though.
"I am doing my part."
maybe. No evidence for that, though.
"Some day others will join."
I'm not even sure what you're talking about. Bullying voters? Someday people will join you bullying voters? All your MAGA peers are in lockstep with you, you have millions of fascists willing to hold your hand.
"Voting for either party is saying you are fine with the way the regime rules us"
Incorrect, you have a naive, narrow, flawed understanding of electoral freedom.
I don't like the way the US government conducts itself.
That has nothing to do with choosing the better Presidential candidate according to my values.
This year, Harris will make a better President according to my values.
If Stein would, I'd vote for her. But she wouldn't.
Voting is valid, freedom of choice is valid.
Your bullying won't work here.
Bullying? You got a citation?
Yes, read above.
or try a dictionary.
I don't think you know what that term means
makes sense, considering your blind faith in ignorance.
there it is
