    By supporting puppets you throw your voice away.

    First, I don’t belive she’s a puppet. Second, I am not throwing my voice away. I’m voting for who I want to be president. And right now, for me anyway, that’s Jill Stein.

    When your only argument is “I have the right” you are confessing that you don’t really have a reason.

    I have stated my reasons many many times in this community. Right now she is the candidate that best aligns with my values.

    I support you voting for who you want, and I would expect that you would support me voting for who I want. As is our right.

      Maybe the issue is what you want to accomplish not who you’re told “represents” that…

      You can tell yourself that you don’t “believe” she’s a puppet… all while she sits with Putin, his puppets and soils the vote. At that point what will your “beliefs” accomplish? Without accomplishing shit what value does believing in an asshole accomplish?

        Which is true. I don’t believe she’s a puppet. Listen, I get it. You don’t like her and you think she’s a russian puppet.

        I don’t believe what you believe. It’s really, really that simple.

        It’s not some vast conspiracy. It’s not some russian state troll farm trying to sway you.

        I don’t believe what you believe.

        I like her, I’m voting for her.

        That’s it. It ain’t that deep, friend.

        We get to vote for who we want. If I liked Vermin Supreme, who IS running for president again, by the way, then I’d vote for him.

        And you could say, “Well I don’t believe he’s worthy cuz he wears a boot on his head,” but then if I actually thought he was worthy BECAUSE he wears a boot on his head, then that would be ok.

        It’s ok that not everyone believes exactly the same way that you do or in the exact same stuff. That’s ok. I promise.

          Ha no likely there’s no issue understanding THAT you in fact, believe “things”.

          Bet you do!

          It’s the fucking weird ass reasons WHY you believe that stuff of all things…

            And that’s the beauty of “diversity of thought,” friend.

            Free country, man. I get to think whatever I want to, for whatever reason I want to. :)

              This comment is pure trolling. Condescending deflection without acknowledging the question, and then bait. Even the smug emoticon is perfect.

              I’m going to keep calling this guy out, especially now that he’s apparently blocked me so I don’t actually have to fence with him about every little thing now.
