I know I'm going against the grain here, I'm obviously no Harris lover, but also I'd prefer to be allowed to continue existing. If that's controversial in leftist spaces then maybe I don't want to spend any more time in leftist spaces.

I think it's more the third party voters (which effectively are Republican voters, by taking away Dem votes). And abstainers, which, ditto.

Third party votes and abstainers for the presidency are by no measures 'taking away' votes from anyone.

It only can be that way if there are zero Republican voters voting third party or abstaining for any reason. We know this isn't true. The Democratic Party's express electoral strategy is to appeal to and attract those voters, ostensibly at a greater return rate than voters they turn off or drive to third parties.

It's a risky strategy and it failed once before in 2016.

this was proven to be a straw man since the report than jill stein siphons away more trump voters than kamala voters.

Can you explain in detail how my California 3rd party vote will help Trump?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Republican strategy is to contest the election in every state, county, and polling place. We need high voter turnout to prevent contested elections all over the country. No matter where people live, even California, our votes matter.

So you think trump will spend money trying to to flip my district that went 78% for Biden in my state that went 63.5% for Biden so I cannot exercise my constitutionally protected right to do anything but support a corpo prosecutor.

As someone who supports third party, there was no chance of me voting for Kamala this election so you can stop with the made-up arguments

Are you saying that 2/3 of the country vote Republican? In that case, how is it possible for the Democrats to ever win?
