Letters to the Editor: Your ‘protest vote’ for Jill Stein is really a vote for Donald Trump : politics


Sorted by “controversial”

Example comment

All the things you want is only possible with a Harris win. You want a better political system and stuff like ranked choice voting or viable third parties? Only happens with the Democrats in control. Nothing that you want will EVER happen with Republicans in control and a vote for a third party in this election does nothing but help Republicans.

If you’re refusing to hold your nose and vote Harris because of some bs reason like ‘she hasn’t earned my vote’ when the alternative is a demented fascist that supports stuff like monitoring womens’ periods then you deserve all the vote shaming you get.

    Democrats: “We’re defending democracy!”

    Democrats when democracy doesn’t favor them 100% of the time and people don’t literally have to vote for them:

    "If you don’t vote for the democrats in all elections always and forever, then I fantasize about shaming you and watching you suffer like I’m a creepy, vindictive little wiener. Get these third-party candidates off the ballot, they’re stealing votes from us.

    You have to be morally and politically pragmatic and vote for the democrats! No, they do not themselves have to be morally or politically pragmatic and stop arming a genocide to appeal to loony left voters. That would be compromising our values, which is only okay if we’re shit-canning immigrants or dropping death-penalty abolition to appeal to the unicorn ‘moderate republican.’

    Not voting for the democrats is to endanger all of the people we haven’t already discarded to maximize centrist appeal. Try not to be so selfish for once, GAWD." smug-explain
