If you vote third party, your vote is an extension of your true self.

Your true self is a waste of time.

By that logic, everything is a waste of time if more people are spending it some other way.

Voting third party in the american system is a waste of time. If voting third party is your true self, then your true self is a waste of time.

Is it not better, by definition, than spending time dishonestly?

[-] redisdead@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

I don't consider having an impact, even if it's not exactly the one you'd like to have, to be worse than pissing away your vote.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

A vote spent dishonestly is what I'd call a pissed away vote.

Enjoy having your voice literally not matter. Definitely worth it.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

You say that as if voting for the lesser of two evils is by definition worth it.

[-] redisdead@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Enjoy your bigger evil just because you needed to feel morally superior. Definitely worth it.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

That would've happened anyways.

[-] redisdead@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe, but at least you'd have been able to say you were not part of the problem.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds like you're saying "anyone who isn't with me is against me."

[-] redisdead@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Anyone who doesn't fight fascism is a fascist, yes.
