I keep encouraging people to look at third party options so we can break out of this two-party nightmare, because if Trump and Biden is the best this country can get, we might as well all be killed now.
While I believe so much about politics is outdated racist and crooked and I think so much should change and every vote should count.. this is not the time to write in Kayne
a vote for anyone else will be a vote for tRump I agree there should be more options but until the EC is gone then this is what we have... again any vote not for Biden who will be a one term president is a vote for The Traitor and there will be no democracy left and millions dead from this virus Covid45
Biden was not my first or even second choice but I am voting for him because the DICKtator wanna be is not an option
If Biden and Trump are tied, my third party vote doesn't break the tie. So a vote for anyone other than Trump does not somehow go to Trump.
I understand voting for Biden if you truly believe that democracy will die if he's re-elected. I think Trump is terrible, and like Obama and Bush, I think Trump should be in prison. But I don't think he'll end democracy. I don't envy your position, but I just ask that you try and understand why many leftists, most of whom aren't even Democrats and shouldn't be "expected" to vote for the Democratic nominee anyways, are looking into alternative options.
If I vote for Gloria la Riva, that vote goes to Gloria la Riva. Not to Biden, not to Trump. Like I said, third party votes don't break ties between the Republican and Democratic Party, so the whole "you're voting for Trump if you vote for Hawkins/la Riva/Kennedy/Mackler/Kishore" just doesn't make sense at all, especially when votes are earned, and these third party candidates apparently earned votes whereas Biden couldn't.
