  • It doesn’t count because a 3rd party candidate will never win.

    It can decide an election because it’s removing a vote from the candidate closest to you who is actually electable.

    Let’s say you think taxation is theft, but you can’t vote for Trump because “reasons”. You vote Libertarian.

    You’ve taken your vote from Trump and given it to a candidate with no chance.

    Harris +50
    Trump +49
    Libertarian +1

    Flip it around, you support Roe vs. Wade but you can’t vote for Harris because “reasons”. You vote Green.

    You’ve taken your vote away from Harris and given it to a candidate with no chance.

    Trump +50
    Harris +49
    Green +1

    In neither case will it ACTUALLY be that close, but you get the idea.









  • Man, even the article can’t get the story straight…

    “NYPD can’t find knife”…

    “the department put out a request seeking the public’s help to find the knife”…

    “a man believed to have swiped the suspect’s knife”…

    “Video circulating on social media appears to show the man scoop up the knife”…

    OK, that’s all consistent…

    “the NYPD posted on X that the knife had been “recovered” following the police shooting.”

    Um, no.

    "Below is a picture of the weapon recovered from the scene of today’s incident. pic.twitter.com/D3AZjNr4cL

    Recovered? But then…

    “Now, they are seeking the individual potentially in possession of the weapon”… Did you or did you not recover the weapon?

    “the now-missing knife”… OK, so NOT recovered.
