      You’ve clearly never heard of 3rd party candidates then! If you have heard of them, I want you to ask yourself why you feel compelled to so overly simplify a situation that you boil it down to a blatant lie.

        They don’t matter in a first past the post election. They’re the functional equivalent of not voting, or voting for Mikey Mouse.

            I didn’t lie. There’s no other candidates. You can write whatever name you want, but only either Joe Biden or Donald Trump will win.

              Okay when you blatantly lie like that. I know there’s no reasoning with you. It’s like when Trump supporters refused to admit when he’s lied about something. You just told me something about third party candidates but also told me they don’t exist. You’re clearly contradicting yourself and you clearly know better.

              3rd party candidates clearly do exist. Third party candidates have even won elections in this country. I’ll admit it’s been a long time. Do you realize the primary obstacle third parties face is the very mentality you’re exhibiting? If we don’t organize and try to actually do better, we will never do better.

              I don’t think speaking with you will be productive, so this will probably be my last message to you. Good luck dude✌️😎

                They effectively do not. It will have the exact same outcome as not voting.

                Waaaah I’m gonna leave and go cry to my mommy

                You do that, champ
