you've probably heard this before, but you've been voting republican for three elections. the fact that you've heard it before doesn't make it untrue, it just makes you vote republican on purpose.
I heard that argument in 2016 and it hadn't become any less false than it was then.
33.1% of eligible voters didn't vote in 2020, 40.8% didn't vote in 2016. Your priorities are misplaced. You should be more concerned about these nonvoters, they outnumber third party voters seventeenfold and are far less stubborn.
You haven't changed my mind.
first of all, there are no priorities, you asked about your vote and I answered. i would say the same to a nonvoter.
second of all, oh wait i did. because you are not really different from a nonvoter. except as you admitted more stubborn... so you're just worse. thanks for just volunteering that info.
you can add yourself to the 40.8% because you're all doing the same thing: voting for the republican party.
People are far more likely to call out or blame third party voters than nonvoters, despite nonvoters having an order of magnitude larger effect on the outcome. I wasn't meaning to call you out specifically.
However, I think you should probably stop encouraging third party and nonvoters to vote for republicans. That doesn't seem to be in your best interest.
they do it because at least nonvoters can say they're too lazy or apathetic. the fact that you get your ass all the way to the ballot box to essentially do the same thing does attract some attention.
also take your threats to someone who thinks it holds any weight; i personally don't give a shit if you vote republican or third party or not at all, cause as I've been saying, they're the same vote. if you don't vote D you're voting R one way or another.
... Is far easier to convince someone who hasn't already made up their mind. Spend your time productively.
I do not make threats. I have never made any threats. Your argument reads far more as encouragement to vote for an R instead of a D. That is an unwise argument to make if you care about maximizing the number of D votes.
But I'm voting G regardless. Goodbye!
you were the one who invited people, i don't give a shit either way
He is voting R in a way that makes him feel good. There is no argument to be made against a position where no logic was applied.
Bro, you're 13 replied deep stop pretending.
I'm replying to your inane points, i don't care about who you vote for.
