When given a choice between a millitary industrial neoliberal with a rainbow voting base and a fascist who is one elon musk golf session away from banning HRT, the best option is certainly not to refuse to play out of protest

Simple game theory

Harris: +1. Because she actually is a good person. The only people saying anything else are Republicans really . Don't forget she used to fight for sexual assault victims and such (look at her past actions). Walz is just as good as a person

Trump: -1: no explanation needed

Anyone else: 0 points

It's only logical to vote for Harris/Walz. Unless you actually believe trump . But, if you use the arguments Trump has used against Biden and Harris, you'll see all of them work equally well on him. He is sleepy, he is old, and he is a criminal

Amend that, it’s also -1 points to anyone else in a swing state because any possible vote not for the Dems is one that helps the Repubs get closer to the day one dictatorship.

Those swing states include Texas, Virginia, NC, Nevada, Georgia, Wisconsin, PA, Ohio, New Hampshire, Michigan, Maine, Alaska, Iowa, Indiana, FloridA, and Arizona.

Some are unlikely (Indiana, Texas) but all are possible (maybe Senate only for TX). The repubs are losing strength, maim ‘em so better progressive policies can grow. If you’re in CA or NY or CO or MN its still not exactly 0, you should vote local; you may be able to get 3rd party in in places or resist a local house Republican.

Honestly I've got a lot of hopes that overseas citizens will mail in so as to upset the polls.

It’s so easy to fuck our registration, I wouldn’t bet on it.

I vote Jagmeet Singh

[–] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Don't forget he has bars

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

still don't wanna vote? vote 3rd party!

[–] accarezzu@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Um, no. A 3rd party vote is basically just a vote for Drumpf💀

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

if you were gonna vote for trump but you vote for 3rd party, that's a Harris vote , 9 day old account.
