You're removing a vote that could have been used to stop Trump and throwing it into a candidate who will not win. You are, quite literally saying, "I am completely fine with another Trump presidency". permalink fedilink source parent [–] acceptable_pumpkin@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) There you go again with no concept of how politics works in this country. You are either a shill, or a completely naive person. A vote for a 3rd party candidate is as effective as not voting in the national results. Can you at least see that? When electoral votes are tallied, and NONE go to a 3rd party candidate, those votes are wasted. I wish this country had a different voting system other than first past the goal posts, but it doesn’t so you need to be realistic in your vote. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bigMouthCommie@kolektiva.social -3 points 2 years ago if voting for an independent candidate counts as not voting (that's a lie), and not voting is the same as voting for trump, does that mean that if i vote for trump, it is 2 votes? no. you're spreading misinformation. permalink fedilink source parent
