    Why is this downvoted? Shouldn’t Democrats love this? This is a win-win for the Democrats and Greens.

    John Oliver just described on his latest show how Georgia state rep Ruwa Romman (a Palestinian-American woman in a swing state) arranged a vote swap with someone in a non-swing state, where Romman would vote for Harris in exchange for a vote against Harris. And John Oliver is as Democrat as they come.

    And I think one vote for Harris in a swing state in exchange for two votes against Harris elsewhere is more than generous to the Democrats right now considering the circumstances.

      I think there are a lot of users who would rather Trump wins another four years than third party voters get told anything other than what terrible people they are for not being enthusiastic Harris supporters

        They would rather no one vote third party than gain a swing state vote lmfao. Well hope they throught that one through, hope they dont get mad if they get what they want.

    I just learned about this around 11:45pm ET November 4. I signed up as a swing-state voter, and in 5 minutes got connected with 2 safe-state voters who agreed to vote for Jill Stein as a swap for my (very reluctant) vote for Harris. I feel much better now. :-)
