Third party candidates are unfortunately not an option, and you know they aren’t. You and people like you are either arguing in bad faith, or you’re too disconnected with reality to know that you’re arguing in bad faith. By throwing your vote away with a third party, you are playing directly into the Republican’s playbook.

Congrats, you’re Trump’s tool.

What are the needs that young people have that are not being addressed by the Harris campaign?

Tune in and find out? You could also just go to the Harris website and read them for yourself.

The sound design for Pontypool is particularly excellent

Maybe he just moved to Florida?

Yeah, people are delusional if they think Florida, which overwhelmingly voted for DeSantis, has any chance of going to Harris.

That’s fair, I’m sorry

the Uncommitted National Movement—which is critical of U.S. support for Israel's annihilation of Gaza—announced last month that "Harris' unwillingness to shift on unconditional weapons policy or to even make a clear campaign statement in support of upholding existing U.S. and international human rights law has made it impossible for us to endorse her." 

Uncommitted also made clear that it "opposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gazawhile intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing," and "is not recommending a third-party vote in the presidential election, especially as third-party votes in key swing states could help inadvertently deliver a Trump presidency given our country's broken Electoral College system."

Okay, so what are these people recommending then? I’m trying to be generous, but they sound like fucking idiots.

I think you’re presenting a terribly myopic viewpoint. A lot of companies make the process of interacting with them so painful if you don’t use their app, that you feel hounded, harassed, and yeah, in some cases, forced to use their app. Do you really think your idea here hasn’t been considered by the author? Of course it has, because like most older people (in their 30s and 40s), that’s how it always used to be. The author is complaining that the way it is today, it can be difficult or borderline impossible to do the very thing you seem confused about.

He gave an expansive answer at the start that included describing himself as getting caught up in rhetoric, then gave the simpler answer when asked again.

That’s what he did I thought

Every single fucking time I try to get an ebook from my library there is a wait list weeks or even months long.
