Is that based on the assumption third party voters would vote democrat otherwise? If I would either not vote or vote third party, how does my vote help trump?
Maybe the democrats shouldnt count votes they don't have?
Because under FPTP no vote or a third party vote is identical to a vote for the opposing candidate.
Maybe you should stop trying to justify being a fucking traitor.
So just saying that out loud makes it true, got it. You've convinced me I'm wrong.
When the options are democracy or dictatorship and you choose not to vote... it's kinda gross. I get that you got a failure of a system over there, but the fight to update your democracy should be done after you choose to have one.
It depends where you live. In my very local area my vote counts, and so it goes to democrats. If you are in a republican state, I can't think of anything better than Democrats coming in third place there. If the democrats had a bigger third party to worry about they'd start having to move left or at least stop moving right to win voters.
That 3. party better be Election Reform.
