I voted for Harris yesterday, and I’ll be voting for Harris again tomorrow. Just kidding. Turns out the dead person whose identity I stole wasn’t registered to vote. 😞

Also, the 2000 Presidential election results in Florida:

Ah yes, the true stolen election. But Al Gore conceded, even though it really was too close to call.

My brother is voting for Jill Stein to "send a message to the Democrats" that they can't automatically rely on liberal votes. He voted for Nader in 2000 to "send a message to the Democrats" that they can't automatically rely on liberal votes. When I mention the 24-year gap here his response is "what's your point?"

Most people that vote third party wouldn't vote otherwise. Assuming that every vote for Jill Stein would've gone to Hillary is quite the assumption. I always vote third party, so assuming my current vote for Jill Stein would've gone towards Harris instead is just dumb and wrong.

I didn't actually realize the numbers were that high for her... Ffs.

They know what they're doing. The elections in swing states are always down to razor margins. The right spoiler is almost a guaranteed win for the opponent :/

Every one so excited to back the lesser of two evils and wondering why things are the way they are

There you go again. Blame third parties for your own failure. Keep doing it, tell yourself it's true.

I'll never forget what third party voting gets us; additional fucking choices beyond the dominant two-party system, encouraging broader participation. When a Republican or Democrat candidate loses any race, it's common to see them use third party candidates as a scapegoat.

Ahh the illusion of choice. You vote third party and get another Trump presidency, but hey at least you got your morals, eh?
