    In a duopoly, it ultimately doesn’t matter. But there’s no fucking way I’d ever vote for Donald Trump. I don’t hate myself that much.

      Yep, Trump is just as genocidal as Biden/Harris. I’ll be voting for Claudia De La Crúz this election cycle.

      Kinda fucked up to say Muslim-Americans should enjoy being deported for not supporting either genocidal candidate and instead voting Green or Socialist.

          I pay plenty of attention, particularly to what Muslim-Americans and Palestinians are saying. You should stop acting like a western-chauvanist thinking you know better than the people directly and indirectly affected by Biden’s genocidal policies that Harris has promised to continue.

            This is what Trump is promising, day one. And since it’s my backyard, I know better than anyone.

            But you do you, I’m sure that proving your point will be worth it.

        I think it’s a reference to something trump said recently about deporting immigrants

          Yep, but it’s directed in a chauvanistic manner, implying Muslim-Americans are stupid and ignorant for voting third party, unaware of what Trump would do.

    Why is that bad advice to vote for someone you agree with? It isn’t like American elections are in any way real or the government of the United States gives a fuck about the people who live there.

      Pfft! Obviously elections in the USA are legitimate. After all, every single US state and electoral district is situated entirely on land that the USA legally annexed, right?

      Because our electoral system is so bad you have to apply game theory to your vote

      Because if you don’t do as the others then you’re perceived as personally attacking their bandwagon comfort. Said another way, your nuanced ideology is far less important than their shallow feelings.
