    It’s ok to hold your opinion, but it is not realistic with the game theory actually occuring.

    I’m not supporting the system that makes this so, I’m only informing you of what is happening, what is real life.

    Your only real choices are the 2 frontrunners.

    Any non-trump vote for anyone but Biden aids the trump campaign as much as staying home.

        Real as I’m with a statistical chance of winning.

          they’re not real choices if i don’t want them to win. a bullet to the left knee or a bullet to the right knee isn’t a real choice.

            Yes, it is.

            Both painful choices.

              i’m going to choose something else, and if my neighbors make the painful choices, that’s not my fault. i know who to blame.

              oh, you know what? maybe it’s the option of having my foot crushed or amputated. one isn’t quite as bad but neither is really something i’ll be choosing given any other choice.

      right. but the same is true in reverse: any non-biden vote for anyone but trump aids the biden campaign as much as staying home.

      because that’s how voting works. when you don’t vote for someone, you don’t help their campaign.

        Please go learn what spoilers are.

        The spoiler is attached to what it is nearest.

        For example, if desantis ran as an independent, he would be a trump spoiler. Splitting republican votes, and harming Trump’s chances of winning.

          you’re talking down to me like i haven’t voted against every president who has won since 2012.

          this is condescending. i know what democrats and republicans call spoilers. i also know that they both want to preserve their own power.

                    Whoever the 3rd party was ideologically closest to, you were voting for the OTHER frontrunner.

                    As the green party is CLOSEST to the Democratic party, you effectively voted Republican by taking a left leaning vote off the table.
