    part of me shitting on third parties is the fact they enable the bad stuff they want to happen, see the elections of 2000 and 2016. but it also needs to be pointed out, repeatedly, loudly, this other point you just nade:

    IT IS STATISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE TO WIN ENOUGH ELECTORAL VOTES TO BECOME PRESIDENT.

    they don’t have an answer for that. if they do respond they never address that specific point only saying well enough people just have to vote third party.

    none of these people have any clue how our government or elections or voting works. I’ll bet some of them are convinced that because the cheneys endorsed harris it means she’s an even bigger genocider even though they both have said they don’t agree with her politics except for the politics that preserve the constitution. they’re dead enders man.

      saying it doesn’t make it true

        In this election cycle, as well as all previous ones, their statement is accurate. In the future? Who knows. But their statement, as written is correct.

          you haven’t presented any evidence for any claims. saying it doesn’t make it true.

            A basic grasp of math and statistics is all that’s needed.

            this still isn’t evidence. it is just handwaving.

              Let’s flip the script. Please provide evidence the green party has won a presidency, or there strong evidence they will this cycle.

                I haven’t made any such claim. I’m not defending a claim I didn’t make.

                  I made a statement, not a claim. My statement was that the green party has not won a presidency. You demanded I provide evidence. I was merely showing you how silly that request was.

                  Your statement was a bad faith argument, and had been reported as such.
