With the Kamala Twerkfest and Trump Sneakers, the message is clear - these people can do whatever they want, and we'll be stuck with one of them no matter what. Trump takes a profit whenever he can. Harris is illegitimate at best. Your choices are 1. Vote for 1 of the 2 candidates 2. Vote for a 3rd Party (0.0% chance of winning) 3. Don't vote I do think the jury is still out on Harris - Sure there is "lots of excitement" but she might just be a fund raising blitz for the DNC and her campaign goes off the rails in the next few weeks. Then they can install Newsome and maybe some people think he is a more sane option vs Trump. https://m.primal.net/JlGU.png nostr:note1ew8ppkrelh8p7p23tcy8f29frwf2aq39jljqd64xvlmeyq40ydeqz7k6r5
Why not just vote for RFK
but why? there is no chance of him winning.
Yeah it’s just that’s the logic trap that perpetuates the dysfunction. If it’s between that or not voting, at least if a third party ever managed to get like 30% of the vote then it sends a message that neither candidate is what we want. Which is important given the current polarization, to show that you don’t support any of the bullshit that the Republican or Democrat ends up doing once they are in power. He probably has a negligible chance of winning, but at the same time if every single person who felt that way stopped caring and did it anyway, a third party candidate could eventually win. It’s just that most people are too opposed to one side or the other to want to take the risk. But to me, both sides are equally horrible and evil. It makes literally no difference to me if we get Harris or Trump, they are both equally garbage.
