If I can offer you one piece of advice on quitting tobacco it's this: Understand that it may be possible that you don't succeed at quitting on your first attempt. That is okay. Most people don't succeed quitting on their first attempt. What is important is that you keep trying to quit.

There are many different strategies for quitting. Mine involved switching to vaping and mixing my vape juice so that I gradually weened myself off of the Nicotine two years later. Prior to that I tried using Rx Chantix which worked until my prescription ran its course. I also tried the gum with very little success, but that's not to say it won't work for you, it might. Explore your options.

There's a specific statute against "Attempting to Use a Weapon of Mass Destruction and to Destroy an Energy Facility?" -That seems oddly-specific.

The U.S. political Overton window being where it is today, I'm pretty sure it's much more than 50%

Do you save a copy of this response in a word file somewhere? I could swear just a few days ago I saw this same rebuttal to the same played out argument on a different post. I'll have to start doing the same.

If you are suggesting not voting then that has no impact and neither does 3rd party.

That's based on YOUR perspective. If your goal is simply to win every election then you are correct, but if your intent is to show that you will still vote, but not for the candidates or platform that the mainstream establishment is proposing to you than voting third-party is far better than not voting. Additionally, if people actually acted less defeatist before caving to the establishment and instead voted for a third party, then there would be a far better chance of the third party getting traction as the Democrat party Absorbs the Republican party.

Also, depending on what you want, voting for a third-party candidate may just better represent you. That''s more than enough to vote third party. The absolute bare minimum political action you can choose to express your political values is to vote. Actions tend to speak louder than words, anyways. When people fail to do that, then It's clear that they don't even know what they want.

"How much do you want to bet that she gets blamed for Harris losing Michigan on Tuesday? Hell, they’ll probably blame the whole election loss on her if Trump wins."

The Greens, too. The one thing they wont do is look within on their own strategy for accountability.

Partly, if you happen to be someone who keeps voting to perpetuate this same system, then yes.
