we shouldn’t

Anyone can vote for anyone they see fit in any election. If that means voting 3rd party in this election, then it means throwing away an actually meaningful vote.

I'm not mad? What makes you say that? You do seem to like to twist my comments. It's one of the many reasons I don't trust you and question your motives.

Yeah? So what do you think my motives are?

what do you think my motives are?

Unimportant

So if my motives are so lame as to be unimportant, then surely I don't have much influence over things. So I may as well just post what I want when I want. And you don't have to feel worried about any votes. And we can be friends now, right?!

I wasn't being insulting. It doesn't matter your motivation and the truth of that motivation is unknowable anyway.

I'm more annoyed that the politics feed is taken over with an outsized share of third party distraction news, when there is so much going on that's actually meaningful.

You think the share of third party news is "outsized" compared to all the pro-harris/pro-democrat articles?! I just post the articles that the news writes. So obviously news orgs think there is something to it since they are writing so many articles about third parties. I don't write them, I just post them.

If there were less written, there'd be less posted.

Yes. That's why I said it. Due largely to a single user; You.

I just post the articles that the news rights.

There you go being transparently dishonest again. This is why we aren't friends.

Wow, I'm flattered that you feel I have so much influence!

There you go being transparently dishonest again.

How so?
