The discourse on American politics sometimes devolves to "Leftists who won't vote" & "MAGA Republicans" teaming up to "getting revenge on liberals".
When trump wins with your help, what are you going to be doing to help Palestinian people?
It will be too late, won't it?
same thing i do now. agitate, educate, organize.
What specifically does any of that mean?
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.
no. i'm telling you that's the best way to find out what i do.
How can I find out what you do if you refuse to tell me what organization I should go to?
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.
i don't like walls of text. if you don't want to talk to me, please don't
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?
I do what I can to protect vulnerable people. I don't believe voting accomplishes that.
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
Then vote Biden, or you’re not voting at all. Third party means nothing.
Beep boop
this is election misinformation. my vote must be counted like anybody else.
any vote that is not for trump is a vote against trump
False. If you do not vote Biden, you are throwing away a vote against Trump. Voting third party is no vote at all.
this is election misinformation. my vote must be counted just like everyone else.
Beep boop
i won't be helping trump win. i'll be voting against him.
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 makes no sense. i am going to vote for the candidate i want to win.
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.
