It'll be okay to vote third party (in a social sense since it's already allowed legally) when we change the election systems that we use so that third party votes are not spoiler votes. Let's abandon First Past the Post and use something like Ranked Choice Voting or better.

Sure, but the dem party and the repub party don't want to really change that.

So let's put pressure on our government to do that instead of trying to shoot ourselves in the foot.

By voting third party we ARE pressuring our gov to do that.

No, you're just making it easier for the fascists to win.

Every vote for Harris is stealing a vote from third-party candidates who represent real change. By sidelining those voices, you’re indirectly helping Trump win!

I already explained to you why that's bullshit. I can only assume that because you're bringing it up again 4 days later, that your intention is to waste my time.

Nah, I'm just voting for the person I like best and who best matches my values. As I would recommend you do. Thank you!

And in the process, you're just making it easier for the fascists to win.

Monk has had her Lemmy account for 6 weeks. In that time she’s posted nearly 1100 posts and over 2200 comments. Assuming she’s doing all the posting and commenting herself, and assuming (conservatively) 12 hours of Lemmy time per day, she is posting or commenting non-stop every 9 minutes.

Thank you for finally getting my gender right!
