Yes. That’s my point. A ridiculously minuscule amount of people actually want to reduce the disparity in wealth.

Support for 3rd parties exemplifies that.

I’m sorry, but no, it doesn’t. Most people are just living in a reality where voting third-party gets the worst option elected, because that’s historically its only effect.

Look, I’m not gonna fight you, it’s clear that your mind is made up. Just think about the probability of your choices, and think about how much you appreciate the ability to even vote… because that’s the actual argument, here. Trump has laid out his plans, and you’re welcome to ignore them, but most people don’t have that luxury, they need to vote in ways that don’t have a chance to lead to their culling.

Yeah, that’s my entire point. 3rd parties don’t win because they actually support policies that reduce the disparity in wealth.

These problems do not get solved because we don’t want to solve them.

You’re making false assumptions about what people’s voting habits say about what they want, drawing absurd conclusions as a result, and then doubling down on your false assumptions even when real people tell you what they want why they vote the way they do. Here’s a clue for you: other people know their own beliefs and motivations a hell of a lot better than you do. It’s supremely arrogant for you to think otherwise.

I wish you could say that to most of the people replying to me assuming I’m a trump supporter, lol.

You might not be a Trump supporter, but your actions support Trump. That’s not really debatable.
