then i guess the democrats better shift to capture some of them green voters if they want them.

That attitude is precisely why we were stuck with Trump from 2017-2020, and why the country is much worse off now because of it.

I voted for Gary Johnson is 2016 and let me tell you, I learned from my mistake. It seems you have yet to learn that lesson.

? you think the democrats should be able to enter office just because you don't like donald trump? fuck that. if they want my vote they better come and get it. i have an enumrable list.

The fact that you keep changing the subject demonstrates that you are not interested in arguing in good faith. The correct course of action is to vote in such a way that your vote influences the outcome positively. By voting for a 3rd party candidate, you are choosing to not influence the result, which is irresponsible.

you can characterize my vote any way you like. I'll characterize yours as supporting genocide.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Don't pretend you care about genocide when you've clearly announced your plan to enable a known terrorist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I have no plans to enable genocide. by contrast many in this thread have announced their plan to vote for biden

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I haven't changed the subject at all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You changed the subject from preventing fascism to nitpicking democrats. That's called whataboutism. You imply that you have no legitimate counter-argument by taking attention away from the point that shatters your argument. A person in the right would have no need for such evasive tactics.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

it's not whataboutism

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I'm not being evasive

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

your accusation of bad faith is itself bad faith.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

"No u" you're not digging yourself out of that hole

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

doubling down doesn't change the facts
