    Which in an electoral college system means you want votes to be wasted and increase the risk the orange menace wins, who is the bigger enemy of the climate cause and of humanity.

    There’s not such thing as “wasted votes”. In elections every person is free to vote as they want for whoever they like, that’s the core of democracy. Trump alone is a corrupted politicians who represent the interests of elites and corporations, there’s a climate crisis because for decades governments have facilitated and paved the way for earth exploitation.

    Basically your words contradict your goals at the moment and it even raises the suspicion you’re trying to manipulate ppl for the GOP or foreign actors (which favor the GOP).

    Go ahead and explain what’s contradictory about any of my words. If you believe calling out the whole fucking government red and blue buffoons together is supporting any of them i’m lead to believe you are either malicious or extremely brainwashed.

    If you wanted a 3rd party to win this election, that ship has sailed.

    Unless you come from the future you cannot predict who is gonna win.

      There’s not such thing as “wasted votes”.

      In electoral college and winner-takes-it-all systems (like the one in use in that election) votes for candidates not endorsed by large groups of voters have no effect on the outcome. You can lie to yourself, but this is not a European country. If a party doesn’t get a huge group of voters committed long before the election, it’s over for them.

      Yes, people can vote for whoever they like, but only two options ultimately count. The rest is basically discarded on the electors stage.

        All it takes for a party to get a huge group of voters is a pop start with a huge group of fans endorsing the party
