    Can you explain why a vote for 3rd party is a vote for Trump, and not a vote for Harris? What makes it FOR Trump, and AGAINST Harris? Why isn’t it for Harris and against Trump?

      I can, it’s because you’re talking to a Harris supporter. If you were talking to a trump supporter it would be a vote for Harris. They both say it about each other and it’s pretty funny.

      you asked me this twice for some reason, but here you go: a third party vote is pointless in the US. has the same effect as not voting. and not voting means lower turnout, which has always benefitted the republican party.

      that’s why they suppress voters, or even plant third party candidates as they did with RFK. of course that turned out to hurt them because RFK being an absolutely insane person for some reason started cutting into the republican votes more than democrats. so they cut a deal and he fucked off of the race.
