    That’s super my guy. Just tell me one thing.

    How does Jill get to 270 electoral votes? Oh that’s right she can’t. You’re only helping trump by voting for Jill.

    Look up “beginning game theory first past the post” and you’ll realize why.

      You’re only helping trump by voting for Jill.

      Throughout American history, third parties have played a crucial role in shaping political discourse and pushing important issues into the spotlight.

      The abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage, and labor rights were all advanced by third parties before being adopted by the major parties.

      By voting for Jill Stein and the Green Party, I am supporting a platform that aligns with my values, particularly on issues like environmental sustainability, social justice, and democratic reform.

      The notion that a vote for a third party “dilutes” the vote is rooted in a fear-driven mentality rather than in democratic principles.

      I choose to vote for the candiate who best represents my beliefs. It’s not just my right—it’s my responsibility.

      I respect, and support, your right to vote for who you want to.

      And you respect and support my right as an American citizen to vote for who I want to, correct?

      I am fine with you not agreeing with who I am voting for. You totally have the right to your own opinion. As i do mine.
