    I’m torn between Jill Stein and Cornel West at the moment

      That’ll sure make a difference. Definitely vote for a person who has no chance of winning. Your anonymous vote will definitely change things. Good plan.

        I don’t vote for someone unless I want them to win.

          And there’s definitely a possibility of either Jill Stein or Cornel West winning. That is something that has at least as high a chance of happening as me winning the Powerball. And I’ve never bought a lottery ticket.

            I didn’t say anything about probabilities. I’m talking about who is right for the job.

              This is what you said:

              I don’t vote for someone unless I want them to win.

              So I guess you mean you only vote for people you fantasize about winning even if they have absolutely no chance?

              What does that achieve?

                sometimes the people I vote for win.

                but why would I ever have over someone if I didn’t want them to win?

                  Because if you vote for a person who actually has a chance of winning, you actually make a difference.

                  But sure. Jill Stein definitely has a chance of winning this time around. Not the last two times, but definitely this time.

                    what do I care what their chances of winning are if I don’t want them to win? why would I have over someone if I don’t want them to win?
