Not everyone lives in a swing state where votes actually matter.

Do you know what will definitely NOT help get rid of the electoral college? People wasting their votes on 3rd party spoilers

Do you know what would MORE LIKELY move people to demand the elimination of the electoral college? Harris getting 10 million+ more votes, and Trump either winning the electoral college or attempting a coup based on lies because a swing state was close.

The more votes Harris gets, the clearer the will of the people, the harder it is to pretend there was voter fraud.

What a bold and bizarre claim to think there is any winning margin that would repel suspicions.

If Harris wants liberal votes, why is she courting Republicans?

"You have to vote for a candidate that refuses to represent you so that people who don't care about the will of the people will think that you support that candidate." is a new one.

Thank goodness not enough people in “safe” states think that way.

[-] Cleggory@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

They use the same logic of people in swing states??

[-] null@slrpnk.net 10 points 3 months ago

I must have missed that footnote in their rhetoric.

Come on, guy.

Check my history. Vote third party if you don't live in a swing state is literally what I have been saying.

Good. Tell your Lemmy Lefty buddies to do the same.

[-] Cleggory@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

By definition, most people do not live in swing states.

Disclaimers and footnotes are irrelevant.

[-] null@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 months ago

At least MAGA is honest. Yuck.

Yeah -- they're proud of their hatred and open about wanting Trump to dismantle the system.

Lemmy Lefties just posture and virtue signal. It's disgusting.

Hey, not only am i your buddy, I'm also your fwiend, guy.

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

You sure seem to have every excuse in the book, don’t you?

[-] Antiproton@programming.dev 6 points 3 months ago

No one is buying the bullshit you have for sale.

[-] theonetruedroid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I think we have the best chance to break the third party at the local level.
