    That’s only true if one assumes the vote would have gone to Biden in the absence of third parties. Again, where is the TOTAL vote count for Trump +1?

      Total votes don’t matter. Trump has never won a popular election. Net votes matter.

      If you live in a blue state go wild: follow your conscious. Live your dreams.

      If you live in a swing state: practice harm reduction and vote for the less evil genocidal geezer. Because a vote for anyone besides the two is a vote favoring the worse option.

          You still don’t seem to get it, every vote for a third party, is one more vote that Biden has to overcome to get to the majority, Trump doesn’t need to bother with this as his personality cult seemingly won’t fracture, thereby every third party vote fucks Biden over just a little bit more.

          Now this isn’t directly adding to Trump’s total, but it’s fucking Biden by decreasing his, and anything that fucks over Biden will objectively help Trump.

            My guess is they’re being intentionally obtuse. What an edgelord intellectual. Best to ignore and move on. Let them get their dopamine hits from pulling wings off a fly.

              I realized after commenting that this was the same dude claiming that the Moscow Concert Attack was actually planned by the CIA or State Department or another US Org.

              Shouldn’t have even bothered.

          Who the fuck is telling people that smugness in the face of possible fascism, dictatorship, and oppression is an acceptable excuse for leftism. This shit is starting to get disgusting.

              You can call me a Lib all you want, but having a good idea of what harm reduction is in politics doesn’t negate years of socialist activism.

                Hell not having a good idea on what harm reduction in politics is negates efforts of socialist activism

                  Fuck, ain’t that the truth. I feel like if we internalized this more the movement would be far more ahead than it is now.
