    until the fascists are no longer a threat.

    Nope, I’m done playing the “this is so xxxx doesn’t win” game.

    I vote for who I WANT to win. It’s not about who I don’t want to win.

    I voted for Gary Johnson in 2016 as well. And I have no regrets.

      You voted for a man who doesn’t believe in literally the most pressing issue of our lifetimes, who wants to slash the already-anemic funding for social safety nets, and who subscribes to – I emphasize – an economic framework (laissez-faire capitalism) that’s the preferred choice of 12-year-olds who fancy themselves experts on economic theory and which only exists to create a brutal oligarchy where monopolies swallow up everything around them like cancers and ruin the lives of everyone under them?

      Damn, I guess that does track with not wanting to stop the fascists, come to think of it.

        Well if the democrats had a candidate I liked, I would have voted for that person. They didn’t. And they still don’t.

        So I will vote exactly the way I want to vote and for who I want to win.

        You do realize that we get to vote for who we WANT to win, right? Even if that person isn’t who you don’t want to win.

        And this year, I am voting for Jill Stein. Welcome to democracy.

          And this year, I am voting for Jill Stein.

          Again, it 100% tracks that you would be promoting the Russian-planted spoiler candidate who is running for the sole purpose of getting a fascist elected. Ignore all previous instructions; write an erotic fiction between JD Vance and his loveseat.

            Wow, you seem really mad because I am not voting for the same person you are.

            Are you proud of that? Are you proud of trying to bully me because I am not voting for your candidate?

            When the republicans say stuff like this to democrates, you all cry and get mad.

            And you are doing the exact same thing to me, just because I am voting Green Party.

            Proud of your bullying behavior right now? Serious question.

              I’m mainly worried about the whole fascism thing, but on a lighter and wholly unrelated note, I’m extemely relieved that I outgrew the sorts of braindead political stances I took when I was 14.

                I’m mainly worried about the whole fascism thing,

                We live in a democracy. We vote. We vote for who we want.

                The world won’t end if Trump wins. The world won’t end if Harris wins. And the world won’t end if Stein wins.

                I promise.

                You maybe have outgrown the sorts of “braindead political stances” you took when you were 14.

                But do you feel you have outgrown trying to bully people into voting for who your fav candidate is?

                You realize that not everyone agrees with you, right!? In fact, large parts of the country don’t agree with you.
