        Over time I see less and less of the need to be like “lol I don’t like who I’m voting for, but I feel like I have to.” I see absolutely no regret in 1) voting against obviously they worst thing ever and 2) voting for someone who seems to a least try to do things that aren’t horrible and are generally pretty good? They only time you’re going to agree with everything a candidate says or does you’d be on the ballot yourself. Even then it’s probably healthy to disagree with yourself a bit.

            Who also supports Israel. It’s not the president, it’s the MIC and every single moneyed interest powering the US.

        A vote for third party is a vote for Trump.

        You may not like it, but that’s what we have to deal with.

          Sounds like your problem? You liberals should have nominated someone who doesn’t commit genocide. I live in Texas and my vote is ceremonial anyway. I’m voting third party and if that results in Trump, that’s your fucking problem to deal with, liberal. I don’t see Trump or Biden as meaningfully different and if anyone wants my vote, they have to appeal to me and my political interests.

          Biden still owes me another stimulus check. Fuck him. I don’t owe Democrats anything.

                  I’m an asshole to Biden and Democrats because they’re complicit in genocide, that’s where I’m directing my anger. If I was rude to someone here, I didn’t realize nor do I think I said anything rude to anyone.

                Your statement “that’s your fucking problem to deal with, liberal” tells me you wouldn’t vote for Biden even if he gave you another stimulus check. You sound like a staunch Republican to me, you just drew the line at Trump. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if you voted Trump once you’re in the ballot box.

                Do your thing dude.

                  I’m a communist. Left wing. I was prepared to vote for Sanders in a general election in 2016 and 2020 but the Democrats decided against me being allowed to do that.

                  I wouldn’t ever vote for Biden at this point because he’s complicit in the genocide of Palestinians. If the Democrats instead nominate someone with a platform similar to the 2020 Sanders platform, then I’d vote for them. It’s as easy as that.

              If you can write out the math where I, voting 3rd party, add a vote to Trump’s tally, and I will personally give you one billion dollars.

                Lol. Trump is a fascist and has about a 35% ceiling for fascist voters in the US. Any vote you take away from his ONLY competition (in this case Biden) moves him one vote closer to victory. Keep your (nonexistent) money imbecile.

                The thinking is that 3rd party votes will lessen the amount of votes Biden gets, thus allowing Trump to win.

                You aren’t actually adding a vote to Trump’s tally, you are subtracting one from Biden.

                Most of the Independents I know skew towards the Republican side anyway, so I’m just a little inclined to think a 3rd party vote will actually subtract from Trump’s tally, but I’m just a little old blue lady down in Louisiana, so what do I know?

                  Nobody in my very conservative family is happy w/ Trump OR Biden.

                  If they decided to go 3rd party, are they also voting for Biden? For Trump? They’ve committed voter fraud? Wait what?

    We can and should laugh at this pathetic wannabe dictator.

    But it’s too bad that all of the GOP candidates are falling in line so early. A primary where 3-4 people were constantly hammering on how Trump was bad for the country would have more effect than the full general election will on right-leaning fence-sitters. Instead, they are falling over themselves to show submission.

    But then again, even the idea of a real primary was probably a fantasy. It’s always been a Trump VP pageant filled with sycophants.

    How do any of these morons expect to beat Trump if they won’t say anything negative about him because they are afraid of pissing off the psychotic MAGA crowd? They ran campaigns refusing to call out his bad behavior when it would have been a slam dunk to just point out that Trump is an indicted felon and a crook and has no business running for office while under so many legal threats.

      Why would that work? At this point, the majority of people comfortable continuing to vote Republican after an attempted coup, the repeal of Roe, and an avalanche of explicitly harmful and bigoted legislation are die-hard reactionaries and Trump supporters, and the Republican primaries seem to be reflecting that. Nikki Haley is the closest thing we have to a center-right candidate, and her odds of beating Trump right now are pretty slim. The political right has been bleeding public support for a while now, and Trump is the only thing that’s been giving them momentum and wins - dropping him is desirable to at least some of the party, but it probably isn’t an actual option.

      And even if they did drop Trump, like… they’re probably not going to course correct at this point. Enacting christofascism and appealing to reactionaries is looking more and more like the only hope for a future the party has left, and they’ll likely continue down that path with or without Trump. “Bringing Trump to justice” is still worthwhile, but on a number of levels, it will not suddenly make the party of the southern strategy electable.

    I wonder if Hailey drops out and by some miracle Trump is found ineligible by SCOTUS than the Republicans would have NO candidates to run for President. That would be very interesting…
