      Because that’s a vote for Trump in a swing state, not because “they’re angry you’re not a democrat”

              Did you just say you want all vulnerable people to die quickly under trump? And that you want to be the cause of that …?

                Everyone with any moral conscience knows liberals, at their core, do not give a fuck about the marginalized any more than Republicans. Their primary concern is protecting their status in society at the expense of the marginalized. They talk about BLM while voting for the people that caused the need for BLM to exist. They talk defund the police while supporting the people building 100 cop cities across the country being trained by the IDF. They shed crocodile tears about kids in cages under Trump while ignoring who built them and that there are STILL kids in cages in facilities with no or minimal AC in Texas and Arizona summers.

                And now they are overlooking genocide because the other guy might do it too.

                  Everyone with any moral conscience knows tankies, at their core, actively want people to suffer, even more than Republicans. Their primary concern is feeling morally superior according to their half-baked philosophy at the expense of the marginalized. They talk about revolution while voting in ways that lead to death, suffering, and destruction of groups that they do not belong to. They talk about political violence from their parents’ basements, which of course others are supposed to lead the way on. They shed crocodile tears about kids in Palestine, blaming any Democrat, while ignoring that their actions will set in motion a much worse path for Palestine and many other groups around the world.

                  And now they are actively supporting genocide because they need to ignore reality to continue feeling morally superior.

      They dont understand how election math works, a vote for Harris is taking a vote away from a third party candidate and is giving it to Trump.

        That’s not how any of that works. The only reason people consider 3rd party votes throw aways is because 3rd party absolutely with 100% confidence will not win the federal election right now. America isn’t primed to allow that to happen at this stage and level. They need to take local elections first and build up the movement getting enough backing to make the federal level even close to possible.

        And whether voting for 3rd party is throwing a vote to one of the other two parties comes down to which one the voter would have voted for had a 3rd party not been an option. If they would’ve voted for the democratic candidate, but instead chose to vote for a 3rd party that has 0% chance of winning, then yeah, it hurts the democratic platforms chances. If they would have voted republican, but chose to vote for a 3rd party with 0% chance of winning the it hurts the repiblican platforms chance. Therefore green party votes are considered mostly detrimental to democratic platforms because their voters are more left leaning in nature. Few would vote republican when no 3rd party option presented itself.

        The idea that voting democratic or republican is throwing away a vote from green to their competitor isn’t functional since the party has zero chance of winning, even if the fence sitters joined them. If they were competitive on federal level you would have a point though.

          Why is that not how it works, it seems to be the preferred method when the candidates are rearranged? The whole Stein vote gives it to Trump bullshit.
