MODERATORS
They don't represent my best interests even a little bit. My state will cast all its electoral ballots for Trump.
I'm going to vote Green. If they get 5% then a hard left platform will be on every American ballot in 2028. That'll turn Democrats left. Or, a Justice Democrat jump ship and split the vote.
Ballot access '28 is actual leverage on the system. Better than wasting my vote on literally no change in the outcome while endorsing either of the fuckwads who can't even deliver lines.
Third election, same thing. Hoping the masses learn how their system works eventually.
edit: There's lots of down votes without explanation. This is why everything sucks: No one wants to learn and sacrifice anymore.
If I lived in a purple state I'd vote Democrat for President to attempt short term harm reduction. I don't even believe in it. But, I'd do it for the most underprivileged who can't risk the alternative. If I lived in a blue state it'd depend on the nuance of the situation.
But, I live in a deep red state. My vote for President has absolutely no effect on the outcome of this election. I learned and reasoned a way to possibly empower the change most Democratic voters want to see in the next election. I don't care about Green any more than Democrats, except that Green has a nice simple platform that they've been loyal to for decades and I agree with.
But, everyone thinks everyone else is too stupid to understand a couple paragraphs and choose wisely for themselves. That's why everything sucks. We don't trust each other at all.
