    Could just also mean you live in a non swing state and want to give a 3rd party a shot at getting over 5% of the vote so they can get federal funding and be a more serious option in the next election. 🙂

      Yeah no.

      You don’t know whose gonna show up and whose gonna stay home. Plenty of states were lost in 2016 just out of apathy. Enough states were lost in 2000 because Nader cared more about the environment.

          Wouldn’t have even been a question. Nader’s votes in Florida alone were enough to secure a very comfortable margin, had they gone to Gore.

        Yeah no one takes orders from you take it down a notch kiddo. 😜

        No reasonable person would predict my state would turn in this election. Even our Republican politicians hate trump here 🤣. Trump won’t win my state. I would wager as much money as I could on it lol. Trying to dictate what I do with my vote based off this improbability is silly.

          Don’t be so laissez-faire with your words. You could easily be astroshitting all over the place. Somebody in Michigan or Pennsylvania or Florida or Arizona could think that voting for a third party will give them the warm/fuzzies too.

            Astroshitting? Are you accusing me of being paid to do this? Dude I just made a comment with another reason someone wouldn’t vote for Biden.

            ‘Don’t be so laissez-faire with your words. You could easily be astroshitting all over the place.’

            My original comment used the words “non-swing state” now you’re saying “oh well, I didn’t know when you said non-swing state I thought maybe it could be a swing state.” You’re silly. You also edited your last comment after I responded to it, which is gross.

            I won’t be wasting my time with responding to you after this 👈😎

      Do it in the primary… where the current system expects it… but… there is only 1 or 2 primary candidates in the current style winner takes all scenario we have… and ID say fight for instant runoff elections, but vote for those with a chance until then… Even if you think your state is safe…
