Another post that makes me further double down on voting 3rd party. It is because of this mentality that not enough people vote 3rd party to make a difference. Also, I refuse to reward genocide.
I hope your support for genocide costs you enough vote so trump gets elected. Then I wish he drafts your children to die in lebannon. Maybe that'd teach you to support the military industrial complex.
Seriously think about that when you're putting that dot on that ballot. Think about my friend in lebannon whose parents are getting bombed with phosphorus. Think about who made the bombs the israelis are dropping on hospitals. As established, you are voting for genocide. Don't be too comfortable with that.
I genuinely care about these people. I'm playing with game theory here tho. I vote for trump, the bombing will continue. I vote Dem, the bombing may slow down. I vote third party, isn't necessarily a vote for trump, but it makes him winning more likely.
I also have to care about more than just the people overseas. A vote for trump affects more than just our foreign policy. My many female friends and their human rights. My coworkers and their workers rights. I don't know what Trump's plans for welfare are, but I'm sure there shit.
If you're assuming that I'm not thinking about all the facets of life that this election touches, then you're seriously out of touch. I want the world to be a better place, I genuinely do. I think most of the people here do. But I'm not a single issue voter. There's a lot that this election means to a lot of people. I don't have the answers, I'm just a cog. I'll do the best I can, any more than that and you're barking up the wrong tree
I dont need to persuade anyone. The fact speaks for themselves lmao. You guys are voting for genocide and that fact should be reminded to everybody again and again. Rogue country.
You realize the circularity of your own reasoning, right? It's a prisoners dilemma, it only works if you trust the other to do it to. But you choose to eat the cake like a selfish person.
… it’s just how FPTP works, mathematically. It will always devolve into a two party system, even if by some miracle a third party overtakes the republicans or democrats, we would still end up with two parties. FPTP is fundamentally broken like that.
But voting for people that have no chance of winning just contributes to the worse evil
even if by some miracle a third party overtakes the republicans or democrats
I just want to point out that not only would this miracle help out our population (the US citizens) it would be a tremendous blessing on the whole world. I'm not even exaggerating; I honestly believe that.
All it requires is enough people writing the same name on a piece of paper. Incredible isn't it, how selfish we are as a whole.
