Yes... you might (not sure if I posted it or not) find the binary that either the Democrat or the Republican will get elected. Quit being obtuse and fixating on the names. All of the other parties combined couldn't get enough votes to win this election. FPTP is awful AND it is what we have right now. You can mentally masturbate all you want, but it won't change that the Democrat or Republican will get elected.
Maybe we'll get lucky and Trump will have an aneurism and we can quit wasting public time and money on that piece of shit. However, whoever takes his place will be just as awful because that is what we have for the GQP these days.
I will gladly work with you to try to get RCV enacted so that I can vote third party without throwing my vote away. Until that is in place, though, you and I both have to choose between Harris or Trump at the moment. Again, even if the names change, you and I have to choose either the Democrat or the Republican. Time for you to face reality.
You need to just settle for the back seat and be appreciative we're still allowing you on the bus, Blue Maga.
You world view isn't just problematic, its fundamental to why electorialism is broken in the way that it is. You should take the time and actually engage in the introspection necessary to fix it.
Just keep on stumping for Trump. You've revealed your true colors.
Thats you bruh. And it always has been. Your lies are now and forever on display for all to see. Thankfully we broke your back and through withholding our votes, we were able to replace the candidate and get this train back on its tracks and heading in the right direction. With absolutely NO THANKS TO YOU. You were and are not only a part of the problem, but the problem itself.
You should just keep your takes to yourself.
Ok, Trumper...
