    So, what you’re saying is that the third party vote sent no message or made no point?? Because I remember tons of people here crying about how their vote for a third party candidate was a clear message to establishment dems that didn’t do what was demanded of them.

    That if they weren’t perfect in every way- third party candidates would get their vote.

    Seems it was as ineffective and wasteful as we all said it would be.

    I appreciate that you’re at least being honest about it and that we can both agree that third party votes are pointless.

      I don’t care about what the other people and I don’t care if it prove a point or not. You do what you think is the best that’s all.

      ​I hope you are not a defeatist in your own life and abandon any of your life goals because they are hard or may be impossible to do.

      ​What I see is people like you crying about third-party voters and blame them for losing to Genocide Trump, although results show that they wouldn’t make Harris win if they all voted for her. ​

      Seems it was as ineffective and wasteful as we all said it would be

      ​What is wasteful is all the money the two parties spend in campaigns then keep failing Americans. What is ineffective is having one of the dumbest politician Kamala Harris that has a terrible compaign on every single goddamn issue

        And…… where are those 3rd party candidates now? Mind tell me what they’ve been doing to stand in the way of fascism lately??

        Stein? West? Not a fucking peep that I’ve heard.

        Actually, I’ve not heard a fucking word from ANY of them since they all turned to vapor back in November.

        So let’s not wax poetic about the bullshit promise of what a 3rd party candidate could do when they prove every fucking election to promise a lot of nonsense they have no place to promise, and then vanish when they are found wanting.
