I will take responsibility for enabling one of the two genocide enablers that I can choose from, yes. I am choosing to enable the one that contains a modicum of dissention from the status quo vs the one that wants to wipe Gaza from the map entirely.

Why would you want to enable the party that wants even more genocide than the Democrats do?

Either way, this dude has serious "don't fuck with me" vibes.

Your motivations can be whatever you want. You just don't get to absolve yourself of responsibility for the results of your actions. I think that's a fair position.

Non/3rd party votes make it easier for the SMALLER party to win, and that happens to be the GOP here. This is just how FPTP voting works.

There are two possible outcomes, how could your actions not benefit one of the two possible winners?

I get that it feels icky, especially when someone views voting as a way to send a message or present their own moral views, but that's not what voting is. Not in the general election at least.

You will affect the race in one of two ways regardless of what you do. You will either benefit Party A or Party B, those parties being the two largest parties, aka Democrats and Republicans.

When a 3rd party becomes larger than the Democratic or Republican party, you would be correct. That is not the case, so you're still incorrect.

So in your opinion what makes the GOP more deserving of your support compared to the Democrats?

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

You are incorrect. While a vote for the GOP candidate certainly carries more weight, it doesn't mean they don't benefit from non/3rd party votes. That is how FPTP voting works.

I don't care about the reasoning you make for your actions. We're talking about the results of those actions.

You will affect the race in one of two ways regardless of what you do. You will either benefit Party A or Party B, those parties being the two largest parties, aka Democrats and Republicans. Non votes and 3rd party votes benefit the smaller party, which is the GOP. This is an absolute fact within a FPTP system, even if you can't accept it because of the obvious implications.

If you feel the GOP has done more to earn your support, that's your call. I just think that's some next level dumbassery.

I'm not making any distinction between non votes and 3rd party votes. From a purely electoral perspective a Stein voter is the same as someone who doesn't show up. This is why people are rightfully frustrated with them. It's a pretty simple concept and the only response is usually "not uh!".

A spoiler is something that only exists in the mind of Liberals

Math. You're disagreeing with math. Or are completely unaware of how FPTP voting works (I know this isn't the case).

I hate that someone can say this Nazi shit out loud in public and not have their entire life destroyed.

It's all hands on deck this November. We have to bury these fuckers. Vote, volunteer, talk to everyone you know, and donate what you can. If you dont know where or how PM me and I'll help you out.

I think ours was filled with tiny bits of chopped up rubber from tires and stuff.
