    If Biden wins we lose. If Trump wins we lose harder.

    …and you think we need to lose harder?

    Or do you actually believe that the system that has had the same outcome literally every single election has a chance to produce a different result? How many third-party candidates have received more than 1.5% of the vote? I’ll help: exactly FOUR in the past HUNDRED YEARS.

    Or do you actually just want Trump to win and are using your enlightened centrist persona to disguise that fact?

      I think a slow loss is still a loss and we shouldn’t cheer when people like Biden get elected over people like Bernie.

      If you notice, the disparity in wealth is still growing at an increasing-rate. That’s why “the economy is doing good.” Not for me or you. But for the rich people who control who we can vote for.

      The minuscule amount of support for third parties exemplifies the number of people who actually want to reduce the disparity in wealth.

      It really puts into perspective who is a useful idiot, and who is not.
