Nope. And I'm still voting third party. Thanks!
Not relevant but cool. That's pretty much all you say.
You already showed your hand
And what hand do you think I've shown? That I'm not voting for the duopoly? :)
That you are comfortable with conservative judicial appointments and the influence and consequences that represents. You said as much by saying you are ok with another trump term, and his judicial appointments are not some myth or fearmonger story, they actually happened and that's the track record.
I'm not voting republican. So not my fault. Half of the country isn't voting for your candidate. Accept it.
I'm not voting Republican or Democrat. So try again.
You said you're ok with another trump term and I highlighted a concrete consequence of that. This isn't about voting, it's about what you're ok with.
Edit based on your own words, you are at least neutral, if not accepting of the type of policy and appointments trump makes. That's the mask off. You said you aren't afraid, suggesting you are positioned to not be materially impacted by trump, which is the privilege component.
I've made no comment on anything beyond what you've posted, and have not suggested you don't deserve to vote for whoever you like. Im discussing the content of your comment.
But you see, they are sooo slippery, your words just bounce right off of them. Hell, even their own words do!
Covered in ectoplasmic goo
And I don't care. Here let me make it bold so you don't misunderstand: I don't care if Trump wins. I'm still not voting for Harris. :)
Which means, if you've taken the conversation this far, that you aren't for roe v Wade, and are pro conservative judicial activism from the bench.
Edit judicial conservatism is literally the tip of the spear of Christiofascist nationalism.... One of the worst enemies of immigrants, at risk groups, and the working class in general.
Pretty incongruous with being a socialist.
I don't know why you keep bringing up voting. I'm not discussing that
You don't get to define what a socialist is. And I don't have to explain anything to you. And I am bringing up voting because that's what we are talking about.
Dude, you are trying to imply that I am helping Trump win by not voting for Harris. Which not logical.
In fact, by that logic:
Every vote for Harris is stealing a vote from third-party candidates who represent real change. By sidelining those voices, you’re indirectly helping Trump win!
If you really want to avoid a Trump win, supporting a viable alternative outside the two-party system is the only way to push the conversation forward.
Out of decorum, please note I made an edit which discuss the relationship between conservative judicial appointments and the core socialist base: the working class and the disenfranchised. I believe your comment came across while I was editing.
I'm not discussing voting strategy in this thread as you and I have discussed it before. I'm specifically discussing the content of your above comment, which you repeated, which indicates your comfortability with another trump term. I highlighted a consequence of that, which you have not addressed, and have continually tried to derail back to voting freedoms.
Edit Im not implying anything, I'm reviewing literal repeated language from you that suggests no care about at risk folks
I'm not comfortable with a term under Trump or Harris. I won't vote for either one, and I don't care which of them wins because, in my view, they’re essentially the same.
You can keep playing the "oh, you're okay with Trump doing this or that" game—it's pointless because I’m not voting for him, and I’m not voting for Harris either.
I don't want either to win, but I know one of them will, and that’s fine.\
As I’ve said many times: I. Don’t. Care. Because they both suck, and neither one of them will be my responsibility, since I’m voting third party. :)
You really aren't capable of actual discussion huh? Just loops and loops. You haven't addressed the core point at all.
Edit when given the chance to discuss or clarify your position on an actual topic you just retreat to the same old lines.
I answered you're question. I used your exact wording. I don't have to explain anything else to you.
