    Wait, you wrote that whole diatribe and didn’t even convince yourself to vote for Jill Stein? Why did you mention her so many times and specifically end it with the sentence, “Vote Jill Stein”? Why not “Vote 3rd Party”? Of course it’d be most accurate to change it to “Vote Trump,” because that’s what your doing if you vote 3rd Party.

      The “diatribe” wasn’t mine—it was from the article. Just because I share something doesn’t mean I completely agree with everything in it.

      I found it interesting because it came from a socialist website, yet they were backing Jill Stein instead of a true socialist candidate.

      At the end of the day, I believe people should educate themselves and vote for whoever aligns with their beliefs, regardless of party affiliation.

      Every vote for Harris is stealing a vote from third-party candidates who represent real change. By sidelining those voices, you’re indirectly helping Trump win!

      If you really want to avoid a Trump win, supporting a viable alternative outside the two-party system is the only way to push the conversation forward.

        Viable being the most important and most problematic word there. Jill Stein is clearly Putin’s plaything and I’ve never heard of whoever you said you support, which means they’re clearly not viable. How could voting for the only person that can beat him be helping Trump win, indirectly or otherwise?

          If more people voted third party, then they could beat Trump. I’m not fucking voting for Harris just because YOU are afraid of Trump.

          I don’t like Harris. I don’t like Trump. So I’m not voting for them. As is my right. I’m voting socialist. Proudly.

                I’m not concerned with what you said, I’m concerned with the consequences of what you said. And the consequences are you helping elect a self-described dictator! Congrats.

                  I’m not voting for him. So try again. If I wanted to help him, I’d vote for him, right? Wouldn’t that be the best way to help him? I didn’t write the article.

                  Did you write the author and publisher of the piece and voice your concerns to them? The ones who actually produce such outlandish, unfathomable articles that even dare to mention not voting for Harris!! OMG!! The horror! People having choice! OMG whatever will we do?! We can’t go around giving people choices, right?! RIGHT?!

                    Or you could vote for the spoiler candidate, like you advocate. There’s a reason they’re called that y’know.

                    Of course you’ve got choices, you’ve got the choice to vote for a spoiler candidate just like you’ve got the choice to run naked through the woods covered in honey and berry jam. That doesn’t make it a good choice. Did you write the creator of first-past-the-post elections and voice your concerns to them?
