Anyone taking votes from Trump’s top opponent is doing this country a disservice. We have a first past the post voting system. Voting 3rd party is a vote against your interests.
This is the only correct take.
Imagine having the gall to run for office and take votes from the establishment because voters actually agree with your platform.
If you’re not voting for the blue team you need to get our head out of your ass and show a little gratitude. You don’t know what’s in your best interest, so don’t even think about any other party.
In fact, we should just ban all 3rd parties. That way nobody can be misled into thinking anyone other than Democrats are looking out for their best interest.
that’s an undemocratic appeal to the “tactical vote”. i respect anyone’s choice on how they use theirs, but after having been manipulated years ago on that premise, i have refused to do it again
I’ll respect the idea that they have a choice, I will judge them if their choice is stupidly anti-pragmatic, though.
The presidential race is fucked. We’re not making it fair any time soon, especially not with a vote for a candidate who doesn’t have a chance in hell of winning. The best we can do is ensure that the candidate who’ll do the least damage wins. Anything else spells disaster.
In the mean time, vote for better candidates in state and local elections, where an outsider has a chance at winning. And if they do, they have a better chance at changing the system so it doesn’t suck.
