    Republicans clearly prefer that people not vote at all, which is why they have put so much effort and money into disenfranchisement.

      No, let’s focus on the question, thanks. They want left-leaning people who are voting to do exactly what you plan to do. Does that mean you should rethink your positions? I mean, obviously not, you’re a MAGA campaigner. But in the context of your cosplay?

      Somehow MAGA is worse than even Dick Cheney at this point and you are choosing to align with MAGA against the Dems. Meanwhile red-faced and screeching that Harris is accepting support from a former VP who has sway with people who might actually vote.

        Okay, so, Republicans don’t just want people to vote third party. They’re very openly anti-libertarian and are kicking them off ballots, for example.

        Their primary goal is to stop people from voting entirely, which is why the bulk of their money and legislative effort have gone into into disenfranchisement. Anyone choosing to sit this election out is definitely helping Republicans. And I am voting.

        As for third parties, they only and specifically promote the Greens. Why them? It’s because Greens are an unserious protest vote and Republicans are fine with that.

        That’s not me agreeing with you. Greens specifically are unserious because they’re just another liberal party, they have no revolutionary agenda or plan to build real political power. They’re just activism for the sake of activism. They show up every couple years and disappear between elections. Pure virtue signaling.

        I’m voting PSL. You won’t see Republicans promoting them. Greens are harmless. Socialism scares them.

        We need to build a workers’ party to fight the bipartisan dictatorship of capital. Build the workers’ party, build class consciousness, militarize the unions, agitate the masses, become ungovernable, arm the working class, movement building. That’s how we beat fascism. You won’t beat fascism by voting for fascist collaborators like Harris

          Republicans are working hard at disenfranchisement, therefore throw our votes in the trash so they can have another four years appointing SCOTUS theocrats who enable much of it. Smart.

          You won’t beat fascism by allowing nakedly fascist “I will be a dictator” guys into office.

            All votes outside of a small cluster of swing states are thrown in the trash. 🙄

              Sure. And that’s why you’re on here trying to convince swing state voters to throw theirs away.

                I’m only defending and explaining my own choices. I think we should build a workers’ party, if you think you need to vote Democrat go ahead. We just disagree.

                  TIL telling Harris voters they support genocide or calling them goose steppers is in no way attempting to influence their actions.
