I wouldn’t believe your “explanation” if you gave one.

So then what's the point of accusations then? Because you've just admitted that you will believe what you wanna believe. So maybe you should let it go.

Some things are true, whether you believe them or not. And I'll keep posting any articles that I find interesting. Thank you! :)

I didn't make accusations did I? Look, you're welcome to block me of you don't want to see my comments on the articles you post.

Voting 3rd party in a US election = not getting a say in which of the actual candidates gets elected. I'll keep reminding folks about that unless you're trying to say certain viewpoints shouldn't be freely expressed...

You have a narrative you wanna push, all because I am not voting for you candidate.

I'm fine with you being against 3rd parties. You keep arguing against them, I'll keep arguing for them. Unless you're trying to say certain viewpoints shouldn't be freely expressed.

I'll keep posting. And you keep posting.

As long as the news reports on them, I'll post them. :)

Woah. I'm not anti 3rd party. Don't put words in my mouth.

It's just stupid to vote for any third party in this election. I think we should have ranked choice and a number of election reforms to allow for viable 3rd parties. But 2 months before a wanna be dictator is on the ballot isn't the time.

It’s just stupid to vote for any third party in this election.

Ohhh, so any other election. Just not THIS one. What about the last one, was it ok then? Or the one before?

What about the next election when Trump Jr decides do run, will it be ok to vote 3rd party then?

Other ones are ok, just not 2024 then, right? So you're gonna be totally ok with me posting third party articles after this election. Right?

I'll be sure to save this post so we can talk about that after this election. :)

You are being intentionally obtuse and it's transparent as fuck.

I'll be sure to save this post so we can talk about that after this election. :)

🤣 I'm looking forward to blocking you after the election.

Oh so it's just this election that you think I have so much power that I can change people's minds then?
