    Man, you guys should really vote for a candidate who advocates for universal health care. Currently, the only candidate who is doing anything in that direction is Jill Stein. Vote Stein!

        That’s a very short term view to take. All buying into the “vote blue no matter who” stance does is show the dems they’re accountable to no one but their corporate donors, since there’s no line they can cross that can make you not vote for them (they’re currently committing an actual honest to God genocide right now, and you’re actually considering voting for them). What you end up with is a democratic party which moves ever further right every cycle. The border wall used to be abhorrent and immoral, now the dems are gleefully building it. Kids in cages at the border used to be terrible, and now there’s more kids in cages than there were under Trump. We used to laugh and deride “drill baby drill”, and now Harris is essentially a pro-fracking candidate (watch her recent town hall). This is not a recent phenomenon; you can trace this back to Bill Clinton at least.

        Every cycle they get more and more right wing, and the cause is precisely people who only know voting against something rather than for something. Look at Stein’s positions, and you’ll agree with them. Take a long term stance for a change, try and make use of your rights, and try and vote for something rather than against. Otherwise you’ll end up with even more of a one-party system than you already have.

          I like Jill Stein. She can’t win this presidency. Voting for her results in Trump winning. That is a fact. I don’t like it either, but voting for her is the same as handing a vote to Trump. Again, I cannot stress this enough, I do not like this. I don’t want Kamala. I want a socialist. But Trump is a massive fucking threat, and Kamala is the only option that can beat him this race. Vote ideals locally, strategy federally.

      yeah voting for a candidate who doesn’t have a ghost of a chance of winning sounds like a great plan, I’ll get right on that.

          Yeah I admit my prediction, shared with millions of other people, came out wrong. I only hope your satisfaction gets you through the results.
