minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThis is what you said: I don’t vote for someone unless I want them to win. So I guess you mean you only vote for people you fantasize about winning even if they have absolutely no chance? What does that achieve?
minus-squarefederatingIsTooHard@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agosometimes the people I vote for win. but why would I ever have over someone if I didn’t want them to win?
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoBecause if you vote for a person who actually has a chance of winning, you actually make a difference. But sure. Jill Stein definitely has a chance of winning this time around. Not the last two times, but definitely this time.

This is what you said:
So I guess you mean you only vote for people you fantasize about winning even if they have absolutely no chance?
What does that achieve?
sometimes the people I vote for win.
but why would I ever have over someone if I didn’t want them to win?

But sure. Jill Stein definitely has a chance of winning this time around. Not the last two times, but definitely this time.
