Trump isn’t in office until he’s sworn in mid January.
Also simultaneously LOL and I’m really sorry. Those people are not only stupid but not your friends.
Well they're certainly not now.
Sorry, that’s really hard. I went through a bad friend break up recently that had nothing to do with politics and it sucks ass.
Wait, what, you didn't vote? GAAHH! Yeah not important at all.
A non citizen CAN’T VOTE!
I voted third party. Cry about it.
That's what I always choose.
Idk what's worse: not voting and making your voice useless out of apathy or laziness, or voting third party and making sure your voice means nothing on purpose.
The whole point of a democracy is people speak their minds, is it not?
If you vote third party, your vote is an extension of your true self. If you vote for a potential winner just out of the likeliness they'll win, is that really "you"?
Same logic if you don't vote. In Australia, voting is a requirement for all citizens, and it's disastrous because you end up with people who just don't care filling up some random candidate's score, so the outcome doesn't reflect what people actually want.
Your true self is a waste of time.
By that logic, everything is a waste of time if more people are spending it some other way.
Voting third party in the american system is a waste of time. If voting third party is your true self, then your true self is a waste of time.
Is it not better, by definition, than spending time dishonestly?
I don't consider having an impact, even if it's not exactly the one you'd like to have, to be worse than pissing away your vote.
A vote spent dishonestly is what I'd call a pissed away vote.
Enjoy having your voice literally not matter. Definitely worth it.
You say that as if voting for the lesser of two evils is by definition worth it.
Enjoy your bigger evil just because you needed to feel morally superior. Definitely worth it.
That would've happened anyways.
Maybe, but at least you'd have been able to say you were not part of the problem.
Sounds like you're saying "anyone who isn't with me is against me."
Anyone who doesn't fight fascism is a fascist, yes.
How did you vote third party if you can't vote?
Reading comprehension is hard. I’m a US citizen, the original comment I replied to is that of an immigrant who can’t legally vote.
