Counted doesn't mean matters. You can be proud of being among the 7% who voted third part this year all you want when Trump's goons send you to prison for being trans
If that's how we're diving it up, then your vote only really matters if you live in a swing state.
Anywhere else and your pissing in the wind, no matter which way your facing.
Sure, but it would be a lot easier for Joe to win KS than for Jo to win any state. Joe only has to convert like 8% of trump voters. Jo would have to convert 40+% from the two real parties. I'm certainly not gonna help Trump win, so I'm gonna vote for whoever has the highest chance of making him not.
It sucks that we're in a system that forces us to vote against the worst party rather than for the best one, but like. This is the system we're in. If we pretend it isn't happening, we're only going to hurt ourselves.
What has a bigger impact, the 7% who voted third party, or the 33% who didn't vote.
Literally the same thing as far as I'm concerned. We live in the real world. A third party is not beating the two main parties any time soon, and pretending that they might only harms us.
Then earn those votes.
I do not vote for genocide.
