    Congrats on helping Trump (if you are in a swing state) or wasting your vote!

        That’s not what I said.

          By your logic, anyone who votes for anyone is “helping” someone else.

          If I truly wanted to help Trump, I would have voted for him—not a third-party candidate. So no, I didn’t help Trump. I also didn’t help Harris–and that’s your main point.

          And I’m proud I didn’t help Harris. Because I didn’t want to vote for her. Thank you! :)

            I didn’t especially “want” to brush my teeth last night, but I did anyway. Because I know that the alternative is opening up the door to things I don’t want, even more than I don’t want to brush my teeth.

            If someone woke up and said, I’m proud I didn’t brush my teeth, because I didn’t want to, I would have trouble looking at them as a source of wisdom about how to accomplish the goals they’re trying to pursue.

              Cute analogy, But that doesn’t apply to voting because voting isn’t a routine obligation—it’s an opportunity to choose what you believe in.

              Just like choosing not to brush your teeth doesn’t change the necessity of dental hygiene, choosing to vote third party isn’t ignoring reality, it’s actively rejecting a system that fails to represent true change. Thanks! :)

                You’re so close to getting it. Millimeters away.

                    Yeah, for Trump. Because that’s what a vote for Jill Stein is.

                    Your refusal to accept reality in circular logic does not make you correct.
