    I’m voting for Trump just to piss off biden supporters.

    If they have a problem with me doing that, they can nominate someone who represents my interests.

    I’m gonna wear a big shirt if Trump wins that says, “I voted for Trump because democrats nominated Biden.”

      I can’t bring myself to vote for the guy that’s probably going to put me in a camp for being trans.

      Instead I’m voting for Hillary Clinton. It’s still her turn!

      Ever heard of the saying “don’t cut off your nose to spite your face”?

      What you’re suggesting is like getting an NFL kicker to kick you in the balls as hard as he can to spite the yoga mom trying to slap you.

            Now blame everyone who is nominating the ‘lesser-evil’ instead of someone who is good.

            Eh, it’s more about choosing to lose slowly vs. choosing to lose quickly.

            Either way we lose, which is what the lesser-evil means. At least with Trump winning, people might change their strategy to prevent similar wins in the future.

            Biden winning means that the lesser-evil is still in style and we have no reason to address the root of society’s problems.

            I’m sorry you need to resort to personal insults, but that just tells me you’re not confident about your point.

              If a third of registered Democrats stopped voting for DNC-backed candidates who do not represent them (by not voting or by voting for the Green Party candidate) and the Democrats lost in a landslide, the DNC would have two options:

              1. move left to regain the voters
              2. move right to keep the corporate bribes coming and try to sway Republican voters.

              I am not at all confident that they would select option 1.

                and try to sway Republican voters.

                Are you serious?

                  Not everyone is staunchly one party or the other. The people in the middle are the main target for campaigning.

                Except that if Trump wins there wont be any voters to win since we won’t have elections anymore. What part about a dictatorship do you people not understand?

              Wen you elect fascists they don’t always allow free and fair elections in the future so this “similar wins int he future” clause is ignorant. Especially when the fascist in question already attempted one coup to stay in power when he lost an election.

                voting for a fascist is voting against future elections… just giving power to those who must never, ever, have it.

          It’s pretty obvious that the person that represents your interests won’t represent my interests, so no, I don’t think I’ll be doing that.
