People are far more likely to call out or blame third party voters than nonvoters, despite nonvoters having an order of magnitude larger effect on the outcome. I wasn't meaning to call you out specifically.

However, I think you should probably stop encouraging third party and nonvoters to vote for republicans. That doesn't seem to be in your best interest.

they do it because at least nonvoters can say they're too lazy or apathetic. the fact that you get your ass all the way to the ballot box to essentially do the same thing does attract some attention.

also take your threats to someone who thinks it holds any weight; i personally don't give a shit if you vote republican or third party or not at all, cause as I've been saying, they're the same vote. if you don't vote D you're voting R one way or another.

... Is far easier to convince someone who hasn't already made up their mind. Spend your time productively.

I do not make threats. I have never made any threats. Your argument reads far more as encouragement to vote for an R instead of a D. That is an unwise argument to make if you care about maximizing the number of D votes.

But I'm voting G regardless. Goodbye!

He is voting R in a way that makes him feel good. There is no argument to be made against a position where no logic was applied.
