Libertarian Sid Daoud might be an election spoiler. He doesn't care.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The very idea of a "spoiler" is a tool used by those clinging to the duopoly to scare people into submission, to keep us from voting our conscience.
You are correct that I don’t buy into that narrative, but in this community, where the term is tossed around like a weapon, I use the vernacular to communicate effectively.
Jill Stein isn’t a spoiler—she's a voice for the people, challenging a corrupt system that fears true democracy. And she has my vote.
What has Jill Stein ever done for the people? Continually running and losing isn't a public service. She's absolutely worthless and there is a reasonable expectation that this will be so for the rest of her life.
Then you have nothing to fear or be angry about. I mean, she doesn't do anything, right?
She can effect the outcome of the election even if she can't win it this should be obvious.
Oh, so what you really meant was she doesn't provide a public service to you, huh? (Referring to your comment: "Continually running and losing isn’t a public service.")
Because seems that plenty of people disagree with you, and they think she provides enough value to vote for her. That's why Democrats are so angry and scared of her.
But guess what? YOU don’t speak for the entire population of the U.S.
Almost half the country isn’t voting for your candidate. Welcome to democracy.
I respect your right to vote for whoever you want. You respect mine, right? Even if it’s not your candidate?
At least 44% are liable to vote for a literal hitler figure. At least 1-2% will vote a protest vote instead of voting against a fascist who would plunge America into darkness for a generation. Pretty sad for our educational system.
I posted an article that's already widely available on a much bigger platform than Lemmy. I didn’t write it or create the content.
