If someone by now isn’t concerned about defeating Trump, there’s literally nothing we can do about it other than to call them out for being a shitbag for voting 3rd party.
It must be nice to have the luxury of making a protest vote. They must think their life wouldn’t change either way.
Hey don’t get me wrong I think his decision of voting for a third party is really really really stupid, I don’t think we disagree here.
But the political discourse in the current time is dead, and it’s polarisation that killed it. There can be no healthy democracy in an environment where opponents are not seen as dignified people who you disagree with.
I’m doing my part here to keep democracy alive. This guy is somebody who has ideas I find to be very wrong, but is still a guy like me and you who is doing the best he can like me and you, albeit misguidedly.
Yep, doesn’t change the facts tho. And doesn’t change that fact that there are plenty of other people who’ll be voting third party as well. Name calling may not be the best way to approach things. But you do you. Thanks! :)
Fuck you for not voting against Trump.
He literally posts vote-third-party slop in the lemmy.world politics community all the time. He’s either paid, 100% pro-Trump, or a useful idiot.
I’m allowed to vote for whoever I want to. As are you. Thank you! :)
Yes, you are free to vote for whoever you want to and I’m free to call you a shithead for not voting against Trump.
I’d also like to second the shit head comment.
Yeah that will change his mind, what kind of reasonable individual wouldn’t be swayed by calling them a shithead.
You should consider joining one of those things where they call people on the phone to make them vote, just please do it for the republicans.

Oh wow, thank you for sticking up for me. In this community that’s a big deal. Thank you!
