I never said I was going to vote for Trump.
If your not voting, voting 3rd party, or voting for Trump ....any of those is a vote for Trump in America's presidential election.
Also your name is maggoty so...
And let's not get distracted from the main point by straw manning here. Your argument is ridiculous.
No. No they aren't. The only vote for Trump is an actual vote for Trump. Casting anyone who doesn't support you as an other who must support the bad guy was bullshit when Bush did it and it's bullshit now.
No it isn't. It's literally math and logic deduction. It's the bullshit two party system's failings.
Because you only have 2 options who are going to pull enough votes to win, throwing your vote to a 3rd party is taking a vote from biden. not voting is taking a vote from biden. all of that is equal to a vote for Trump.
Sure thing your majesty. We'll all support you no matter what.
Answer with facts or shut up
Only a vote for Trump is a vote for Trump.
It's not. Google a first past the post system and learn something. Your spouting bullshit that is reductive and intentionally inaccurate
I'm well aware of the different voting types. I'm also well aware that you cannot browbeat the citizenry into liking your candidate. That is the base feature of a democracy.
You aren't well aware of math apparently.
He's not my candidate, I just have the mental capacity to understand that it's the only choice I have in this system if I'm not a maggot trump supporter.
You know you've got to figure if someone has taken a name like Maggot, they aren't going to be insulted if you use it...
Oh so you are a trump supporter then? Makes sense how you can't grasp simple concepts and constantly argue in bad faith.
Lmao. You'd like that but no.
this is election misinformation. only a vote for trump can be counted as a vote for trump. a vote for any other candidate cannot be counted for trump.
Its not that simple lol
when are votes for anyone but trump allowed to be counted for trump?
When you have a 2 party system no other candidate will ever do anything except cannibalize votes from the party they overlap the most with.
Green party takes votes from Democrats and libertarians take votes from Republicans.
Read the federalist papers. The founding fathers saw this reality coming. First past the post voting with 2 dominant parties means 3rd party voting or apathy is a vote for your opponent
this is a myth. votes Don't belong to the Democrats. they belong to the voters. it's up to candidates to earn votes.
this entire comment is obfuscation. I asked a specific question in response to a specific claim.
no, it's a vote for the so-called third party or no vote at all.
