    You’re talking in circles and fundamentally missing the point that neither voting third-party nor not voting isn’t going to make things better. It’s only going to make things worse.

    The ballot box is for harm reduction, and equivocating the level of evil of two candidates only ever helps the more evil option.

    If you want to make your first actual point, feel free to do so. If you want to keep repeating the very talking points that got us the situation that allowed for this genocide in the first place, don’t bother.

      Things are getting worse if either the Dems or Reps win, Third Party is the only chance electorally.

      The ballot box is for harm reduction, and equivocating the level of evil of two candidates only ever helps the more evil option.

      Pretending equal evils are different based on vibes alone isn’t harm reduction, it’s harm acceleration.

      If you want to make your first actual point, feel free to do so. If you want to keep repeating the very talking points that got us the situation that allowed for this genocide in the first place, don’t bother.

        In the above comment, we see the following:

        • Repetition of the same debunked talking points
        • Equivocation of the two major parties (which, as I’ve already mentioned, only helps the more evil of the two)
        • “no u”

        It really insults the intelligence of those reading to think that they won’t see through this.

          Which of my points have you “debunked?” Lol

          • Equivocation of the two major parties (which, as I’ve already mentioned, only helps the more evil of the two)

          You’ve been whitewashing genocide and fascism, without meaningfully backing yourself up.

          • “no u”

          You insulted me directly, while leaving yourself wide open. You started directly insulting because you had no points other than claiming that genocide isn’t that bad if the Dems do it.

            I haven’t had to, as all you’ve done so far is repeat already-debunked, faux-leftist points that enable fascists.

            You’ve been whitewashing genocide and fascism, without meaningfully backing yourself up.

            Ahh, more accusations. Genocide is bad. Fascism is bad. Thus my question: why are you advocating for actions that will lead to more genocide and fascism?

            You started directly insulting because you had no points other than claiming that genocide isn’t that bad if the Dems do it.

            Lying about what I’ve said in a written forum isn’t effective. Once again, and in larger font:

            Genocide is always bad, and more genocide is worse.

            So why are you advocating for actions that fall in the “more genocide” camp?

              In other words, you can’t, so you call them “faux-leftist.”

              Ahh, more accusations. Genocide is bad. Fascism is bad. Thus my question: why are you advocating for actions that will lead to more genocide and fascism?

              How would my actions lead to more genocide and fascism? Where do you think they come from?

              Explain where the genocide is coming from, and how what I am advocating for leads to “more genocide.” You keep repeating baseless assertions.

                Jill Stein declared her goal as preventing Harris from winning the White House even though she knows she can’t win herself, so basically her goal is to put Trump in power who is going to continue or worsen the genocide in Gaza while adding genocide on the US’s queer population, women and immigrants and even descendants of immigrants that live there for multiple generations. As a little bonus he’s going to give Ukraine to Russia by not delivering weapons to them anymore, thus helping a warmonger take over it’s neighbouring country.

                That is how your actions lead to more genocide.
