Well? Not voting for Biden is supporting trump. Third party choices have no hope in hell of winning.


Ah, but you see. Not voting for Trump is supporting Biden. So it's all good, cancels out.

Biden has a better chance then any third party candidate.

It's a cop out for Dems to blame literally everybody (non-voters, third party voters, independents, Bernie supporters, whoever else) for their loss rather than evaluating why people didn't vote for their man.

Biden needs to drop out. It's only going to get worse for him from here on out and Democratic-aligned media and pundits are unwittingly hurting themselves by trying to salvage him.

So even if I engage in 'strategic voting' like Biden voters claim to be it's still somehow a 'cop-out' because I don't vote for your favorite?
Now that's entitlement.

I'm sure there are better candidates they could've thrown against Trump, not even saying it has to be Bernie, a lot of the Dems running were better than Biden.

But I think we're stuck with him now, if I understand how somebody explained the DNC's rules on selected their candidate.

Help me read this post Gorm, because all I'm coming out with is that because Trump is a creep - worst than Biden's creepiness according to you - then we should be accepting of Biden's creepiness?

Because I'm of the opinion that they're both creeps who have no respect for women's personal space and I don't like either of them because of that.

Hillary is no longer in politics and Trump is still President, thus very much in politics. But nice deflection attempt.

If you're going to blame me for Biden losing in November if he does, then I also expect to be credited for helping him win if Trump loses. Not holding my breath though, I know you don't care.

Got nothing wrong discussing Trump's negative points, confused why you're completely ignoring Biden's negative points.

:unsure: If you don't vote for Biden, you get no credit if he wins. Voting for someone you know won't win is throwing your vote away. Given the GOP's record on the issues - what they do when in office, not what they say when campaigning - that's voting against your own interests.

So if I vote third party and Trump wins, I'm somehow responsible for helping him win? But if I vote third party and Biden wins, I did nothing to help Biden win?
