…Initial evidence suggests that, in a rematch between Biden and Trump, a No Labels and/or West campaign could pull marginal support from Biden and subtly shift the election toward Trump. Whether this would actually make for a potential spoiler, though, is a different question: History — and common sense — suggest that these possible third-party candidates would be most likely to affect the outcome if the overall race were close. But in our deeply divided political era, close elections have been the norm, which makes a spoiler candidacy a live possibility…

    Biden identifies himself as being neutral, if another candidate who also identifies himself as neutral shows up, he’ll take votes from Biden.

    No one who would vote on a threat to world peace like Trump would vote on a “neutral” candidate, they will only vote on other white supremacist candidates.

    American politics is also very simplistic, you just say “I _____ abortion” and people say Yes/No on the spot, they don’t care about anything else.

      I fucking hate single issue voters. I’m pro-gun but would never even consided voting for a republikkkan (aka: fascist). They’ll take away your guns as soon as they steal the country. Every “freedom” that republicans claim to support, they only support them for fascists, and even then, they would get purged as soon as their usefulness is over.

        gotta agree with you on that. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: trump and his ilk are the single greatest argument for maintaining the 2a.
