Wait, have I misunderstood? Who are you planning to vote for / do you think people should vote for in the general election in November?
>Who are you planning to vote for
frankly i havent decided yet
i've been giving money to cornel west, but jill stein said the greens could hit 5% this year
Ah. So somehow we've meandered our way back around from Central and South America to "Voting is a waste of time; I as a good left-wing person am going to vote third party and here's why."
Welp, now that we've had that blistering rebuttal to what I was saying about how the shills operate, I have to get on with my day. All the best, love and kisses.
>Ah. So somehow we've meandered our way back around from Central and South America
you mean i didn't take teh bait on your nonsequitur
In what way is asking what you believe on a topic most geopolitically-interested left wing people have pretty strong opinions on, "bait"?
Edit: You know what, don't feel like you have to answer that; I don't want to continue the back and forth and I feel like the exchange so far pretty much speaks for itself.
Question I am too squeamish to answer = non-sequitur
it had nothing to do with it the discussion at hand
it was a nonsequitur that would have led us away from you answering the question, which you still haven't done (and, frankly, i never expected you to do)
