Says the person who is voting Biden and trying to get other people to vote not Trump... One thing to learn, third party people usually don't try to tell other people how to vote... Or go on constant anti-Trump rants...

Esp since 3rd Party candidates are worse than Dems, though probably not worse than Trump. In 2016 there was Johnson, a libertarian who knew nothing about foreign policy and Jill Stein, who was clueless about economics.


I'll consider voting 3rd Party if and when there's one worth voting for. Until then, yes, voting 3rd Party is a wasted vote.

Voting for a third party, contrary to popular belief, is not a wasted vote.

What is voting? It’s a chance to tell the country — and perhaps even the world — what your vision of government and society really is.

But how do most of us vote? Do the majority of those who believe Harry Browne or Ralph Nader is the best candidate, most in tune with our own feelings, actually vote for them? No. Instead, most of us vote the “lesser of two evils” — a defensive vote, rather than an offensive one.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

So what happens after you vote the defensive vote? Well, then you have sold out your personal beliefs. You have become a political prostitute. You aren’t standing up for what you believe in by voting “the lesser of two evils.”https://freepress.org/article/wasted-vote-myth

Its a wasted vote because Our system is winner take all.

Government isnt divided proportionally, there arent coalition governments.

either Dems win, or Republicans do.

How could people just look past what the democrats have done such as arming Syrian terrorists during the Syrian civil war? BTW Biden was a major figurehead during that incident. When the Democrats were in power they far extended the use of drones in overseas countries in order to kill their enemies compared to the Bush administration. Republicans are no different with the drone strikes and also expanded further with the drone strikes. Trump response to the Corona has been so wrong too and he acted too late.

If more and more people vote third parties then there be a powerful message to Washington, where it can influence the Republicans and Democrats to adapt third party policies.

I am not voting Biden. Trump is the POTUS. He is the one that needs to be judged. Plus Biden is hiding in his basement most of the time. Hard to comment on that. Please list all the glowing complements I have given Biden on here. All I have said is he is doing better than Trump in the polls and I don't think he is demented, senile perhaps. He does act every bit of his 77 years.

Nice that you have rules you expect others to follow. If I was to follow the rules I would have to pick Biden or Trump. Not doing that. Vote Jo not Joe. Nice catchphrase you have to admit.
