The discourse on American politics sometimes devolves to "Leftists who won't vote" & "MAGA Republicans" teaming up to "getting revenge on liberals".

it is. a vote for any person must be counted for that person. they cannot count my vote for cornel west as a vote for biden.
Your vote for West means nothing when there is zero chance they’ll win. You are throwing away a vote that could have been used to combat Trump.
By voting for third party, you may as well not be voting at all. And in both cases, you are saying you don’t care who wins. Which means you don’t care if Trump wins. Which means you are complicit in Trump’s victory if it is to happen.
So I will blame all of you just as much as the Reps if that comes to pass, and the blood will be on your hands as well.
no.. by voting I'm saying who I want to win.
Except they won’t win, and you know it. So you’re taking a vote away from Biden which means you’re helping Trump. You are culpable in Trumps victory if it happens, and the blood is on your hands just as much as the Reps.
it's not biden's vote, it's mine, and Biden needs to earn it if he wants it.
only a vote for a candidate helps that candidate.
a vote for West is a vote against Trump and Biden.
You're arguing with a bidenbot bro. Don't waste the air.
it's not for them, it's for anyone who might be taken in by them.
and i can't bring myself to think of them in dehumanizing terms like "bot" or even "shill". that level of discourse is toxic and thought-terminating. we should elevate the conversation.
