when will be your last time to vote for the "lesser of two evils"?

When will be your "this is the last fucking time I'm voting for the 'lesser of two evils', then I don't care after that, let this country burn to the ground"? For me, this is basically it. This is last election I'm going for that " lesser of two evils" bullshit. After that I'm done. It's just pointless. Let's hear it.

Le epic redditer moment

Look dude we're both insufferable, let's stay on topic

If you believe your vote doesn't matter, then you believe nobody's vote matters. Clearly that's not true. I get that voting for the less popular candidate won't win the election for you. Boo hoo. Don't conflate "losing the election" with "not mattering" though.

If you believe your vote doesn't matter, you either believe:

  • all votes are not equal (within a given election) or
  • the elections are entirely rigged

If you believe your vote doesn't matter, you either believe: all votes are not equal (within a given election).

Yeah, like I explained in my original comment in great detail exactly how and why certain votes are not equal.

I struck a nerve with the redditor comment considering you responded to that 4 word sentence but not the paragraph explaining basic American Electoral structure.

You fool! Youve taken the bait. I am 3 moves ahead and your fate is sealed

What makes those votes unequal?
