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.

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.

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