    Republicans know they cannot go above 46-47% in popular vote, and cannot win what is essentially a two-person race with that support. A Republican nominee has received above 48% only once after 1988 (GW Bush in 2004). Only way to win the EC without PV win is for third party candidates to get support in key battleground states like Nader in 2000 and Johnson-Stein in 2016.

      Those of us that voted for Nader and Stein never would have voted for your shitty candidates. To begin with, your entire premise is based on the liberal ‘spoiler vote’ which is 100% myth. There could be zero third party candidates on the ballot and we still would not vote for a republican or a Democrat because we are not Republicans or Democrats.

      The Blue fascists have done the same thing

            We are in the comments section of an article where Donald is hoping people will vote exactly as you do. So you’re a MAGA. You are on here every day urging people to vote. Campaigning for Donald.

                It’s not a false dichotomy, you don’t understand what that term means. You’re just literally urging for the same things as Donald does. That is because you are a MAGA.

                  False dichotomy with ‘you are either with us or against us.’

                  BlueMAGA are as clueless and uninformed as MAGA

            Let’s just look at how your one post and all your comments are anti-Harris or “both sides are bad.”

            You’re not saying to vote for Trump but you are pushing to not vote for Harris

              Because Harris is on the same level as Trump, they are both garbage. Liberals are willing to accept blue fascism because it’s their team doing it

                Okay, def troll. You can’t actually have the cognitive dissonance to think that, being against fighting someone who wants to end elections, is better than literally any other choice? No, right?

    Trump has offered praise for West, calling him “one of my favorite candidates.” Another is Green Party candidate Jill Stein. Trump favors both for the same reason. “I like her very much. You know why? She takes 100% from them. He takes 100%.”

    waiting until the usual lemmy suspects show up to be like “iM vOtInG tHiRd PaRtY tHeY aReNt SpOiLeR cAnDiDaTes” my guy the republicans have literally said out loud that they are supporting these spoiler candidates as spoilers, if you’re voting for them, you are voting for trump.
