    Not anything for Harris to worry about, no.

    I am worried that voters will take their own choices off the table by voting for a non-entity.

    Sure, there’s nothing preventing you from burning your vote by writing in “Superman”, it’s just an awful idea when every vote counts and fascism is on the line.

      Good, then nothing to worry about, like I said.

      I am worried that voters will take their own choices off the table by voting for a non-entity.

      But why would that worry you if it doesn’t affect the Harris campaign?

      Sure, there’s nothing preventing you from burning your vote by writing in “Superman”, it’s just an awful idea when every vote counts and fascism is on the line.

      But I’m not burning my vote. I’ve voting for who I want, which is Jill Stein. Also, how is “fascism” on the line, if Harris has nothing worry about?

      You tried to downplay and belittle the Green Party, and implying that it doesn’t mean anything, but then you turn around and say fascism is on the line. How so?

        By voting for a non-candidate, who can’t win, you may as well write in Superman.

        Hey, if you don’t want to have a voice in an important election, that’s entirely up to you.

        However if Trump wins, you have nobody to blame but yourself and other voters like you. Voters who could have chosen to make a difference but chose not to.

          So are you implying that we should ONLY vote for people who will win? That we shouldn’t vote for who we want to win?! That doesn’t sound very democratic.

          Hey, if you don’t want to have a voice in an important election, that’s entirely up to you.

          I do have a voice. I’m voting for who I want to vote for. As is my right.

          However if Trump wins, you have nobody to blame but yourself and other voters like you. Voters who could have chosen to make a difference but chose not to.

          Well wouldn’t that be your party for not having a strong enough candidate. I mean, if you have a strong enough candidate, you don’t have to worry about losing, right?

          You realize part of democracy means that your fav candidate may lose sometimes, right?
