    For the editor and anyone else who does not understand math: people voting for Trump means Trump gets a vote.

    A vote for Jill Stein means Trump does not get a vote.

    Would you rather have someone vote third party or vote Trump?

      The whole thing feels like an argument intended to push people away rather than rally support.

        I’ve noticed a LOT of Lemmy’s seem to want to push people away rather than welcome or rally support when it comes to uncommitted voters or third-party voters… Very surprising to me.

          It’s almost like we expect bad faith interactions from people trying to interact with bad faith.

          Weird, right?!

            I don’t know, because I’m not posting or interacting in bad faith. Just because some doesn’t share your views, doesn’t mean they are interacting in bad faith.

            Werid, right?!

      For industryStandard and whoever else may not understand FPTP: a vote for Kamala is a vote against Trump

      A vote for Jill Stein is not a vote against Trump, and in fact hurts Kamala’s chances the same way a Republican voting for RFK hurts Trump’s chances

      Would you rather have someone vote to stop Trump or throw away their vote?

        This is illogical, as it assumes someone voting for stein would vote for Harris, which isn’t the case.

        In 2016 many Bernie Bro’s spite voted for Trump. Stein is leeching votes from Harris but also provides an alternative for what could have turned into spite voters.
