Then you don't actually support the alternatives.

Then you don't actually care who gets elected

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

If elections matter, shouldn't you vote for the person/party you supposedly support?

You decrease the value of your vote when you write in yourself every time. Do you really have to agree with 100% of what anyone says? I'd have to write myself in if that was true.

No one is making the argument that you have to agree 100% with whatever politician/party you're voting for.

And where on earth did you get the "write in yourself" thing from, that's an even more ridiculous strawman.

You have failed to make any effort at explaining yourself so Idk why I should.

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 1 points 1 hour ago

Believe it or not, but there are more than two parties that run candidates in US presidential elections.

This shouldn't need to be explained to you.

[-] blinx615@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Of course there are. And if you want your vote to be useless, you can vote for them.

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 1 points 1 hour ago

They'll win if people vote for them.
