    “And that’s why we don’t ever run any candidates for any office in any of the myriad municipalities, counties, states or congress of the US. That’s how we make change, by only running spoiler presidential candidates in like 3 states.”

    Yes, the US has to fix the election system, making it possible to vote on other options that the duopoly without effectively voting against the lesser of two evils. And that won’t happen with a fascist in charge.

      Exactly, if Harris wins there will be another election in two years.

      If Trump wins, that’s not a guarantee

          So, I take it that you consider the January 6 coup a case of mild hijinx that hardly had any fatalities?

            Have you ever seen any coup, especially the ones US generously showers over all the world in huge amounts? Compared to that it was a fucking picnic, cops went harder on every left protest in history of USA.

            Also you did deflected: were there elections in 2018 and 2020 or not?

              So, it was a coup?

              And your question is completely silly. Jack the Ripper didn’t attack every single night; does that mean he wasn’t a killer?

              Treason is funny; it only takes one single instance to mark a fellow for life.

        One of them fits the definition vey well, while one, at least, has to stretch the definition for the other.

    “The danger of Trump is real and I don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of stopping him. I’m still going to steal as many votes as I can from the only candidate that can beat him anyway, solely to make an ideological point. Please don’t acknowledge how this obviously helps him win.”

        I hope that obstinate pleasure tastes as sweet when the new Secretary of of Education goes back to burying people with their student loans instead working to find relief for them. And the Administrator of the EPA decides that forever chemicals in our water don’t need to be regulated. And the new Secretary of Labor decides union busting ought to be protected by the first amendment. And the Secretary of Energy decides wind and solar are the problem actually and natural gas is the future. And the Director of National Intelligence decides the National Socialist Database would pair nicely with the National Trans Identification Registry. Or when the 2-3 fresh, young faces on the supreme court establish fetal personhood. And overturn Obergefell. and Lawrence. and Loving.

        Obviously you learned nothing.

        Socialists failed to get the vote out for Bernie, even when they knew it would be an uphill fight.

        Now they are failing again.

        I wish I had the privilege of being safe enough not to have to worry about Trump deputizing a bunch of Red Hats and doing mass arrests.
