It’s like these libs believe that Kamala is entitled to our vote.

If I didn’t vote for PSL, then I simply would not vote! It’s not “PSL or Kamala;” it’s “PSL or sit on my ass at home.”

I know libs don’t understand nuance, but it still is so frustrating that they put this framing on me where they assume that I have any actual interest in a Kamala president over a Trump presidency.

Not only that, but this person called Claudia de la Cruz a “clowny leftist with no choice of winning” (which isn’t the point of a third party vote; let’s be real), but I just told the lib, “You call her clowny, but you are literally guilt tripping and insulting me just because I won’t vote for someone who is actively greenlighting a genocide on Palestinians.” and then I blocked.

Whether Trump or Kamala wins, I’ll enjoy social media outrage from either side, but it seems like what I’ll see from liberals in the case of a Trump election will be more entertaining. I truly think libs are beyond being redeemed, and that even goes for the more “progressive” types who appropriate the label of “democratic socialist” like Bernie and AOC. I don’t adhere to lesser-evilism, so I’m not gonna pretend that this one-party state with two parties has one side over the other functioning in a way that could especially benefit me.

    Not sure where you live, but if you don’t live in a swing state, you’re wasting your vote if you DON’T vote third party.

    Matching public campaign funds are calculated nationally. If you’re in a solid red/blue state then you’re 100% wasting your vote on a major party, because they opt out of public funds, an your vote isn’t going to change a built-in 10% difference in the tally. But if you vote 3rd party, you’re voting into a national pool that could potentially get that 3rd party automatic ballot access and matching federal funds for campaigning.

    So if you’re like the majority of us, in a state that doesn’t matter, then you can just levy the accusation right back at them and ask why they’re wasting their vote.
