Libs literally bending over backwards because they decided they liked him before they learned about his past. Voted 3rd party last time, almost was gonna vote for a lib this time but I’ve been called an antisemite so many times I just can’t bring myself to voting for a guy that not only supports genocide but calls me a racist for opposing it!

Like you can’t call me a racist and expect me to vote for your candidate. Makes no sense, but that’s what the convo is gonna be the next three months lmao.

    Why don’t you vote the communists then? Does the CPUSA not contest for election in your city/state?

      CPUSA is run by feds or useful idiots who support the Democrats. The consensus take on Hexbear is indeed to vote third party though.

        Try voting for PSL. CPUSA is either run by feds or is so completely co-opted by liberals as to be indistinguishable. A quick search of hexbear turns up so many bad takes from them

              Hmm, I had no idea. I’ll def take a look at who they run. I just know in the primary any form of protest vote was literally throwing your vote away. Assumed it was the same, at least for write ins. But if it’s on the ballot or should work.

                Yeah, write-ins are pretty different–some states don’t allow them at all, most states allow them but only for registered candidates (I guess you can be registered but just not get gather (enough) signatures to actually get on the ballot), and a handful have no restrictions on write-ins at all. Pennsylvania’s in the registered candidates only category, so a write-in vote for an unregistered candidate won’t be counted.

            Wow, we really to live in the land of the free don’t we. Such legitimate democracy. Very wow.

            That sucks but in that case the best use of your vote is to completely throw it away. A vote for the Democrats is a vote for Genocide. You can write yourself in, or write me in.

              Yeah write in’s aren’t counted in PA look it up lol.

              At least PSL is on PA’s ballot from what I see in here. Better than voting for someone that keeps calling me an antisemite.

      Not OP but I am proudly voting for the PSL candidate since she is on the ballot in my state.

      If Claudia de la Cruz was not on the ballot, then Jill Stein would be acceptable.

      If I was in a state with neither on the ballot, I’d write in Xi Jinping.
