    sure she is, votes count the same for her as for anyone else.

      If you think that’s how elections currently work in the United States, nothing I can say will help you.

      For a 3rd party candidate to be viable, there would need to be enormous system changes or a very successful write in campaign.

      I would love for other candidates to be an option, but that’s currently not the case.

        For a 3rd party candidate to be viable…people literally just need to vote for them. She gonna be on the ballot for me to put a check by and everything.

              You’re voting for her. You should be reviewing history to get the answer.

              She definitely won’t win this time but maybe the 30th time she runs she’ll crack 2% of the vote.

                I dont care if she only gets 1 vote, its gonna be my vote. And then i just get to watch everyone complain about exactly what they voted for.

                  That’s all that really matters isn’t it?

      By all means agitate for a better voting system. But until you have something other than FPP voting third party will do the opposite of what you want. This is a well known paradox of FPP, it has been well studied

        Im voting for a better voting system. Jill also has ranked choice voting as a campaign platform. I think you’ll have a better chance trying to convince Trump supporters to join Zionist Biden’s campaign than me, and with much better returns on your goal of not electing Trump.

          In FPP voting far left supports the RW candidate. That’s the paradox and that’s just math. Your feelings on the matter don’t change that unfortunately

                  You’re the guy trying to keep a dude from hitting his wife then getting attacked by both.

                  Until they decide to call a shelter and GTFO I don’t think there’s much to be done but what you think is ethical.
