It’s only what a plurality of what Americans want because a plurality of Americans is a collection of easily misled idiots. The fact that Democratic leadership decided to also run with the complete falsehood of “Migrant Crime” and feeling like we need to lock down the border is absolutely appalling. The correct thing to do would be to deconstruct this myth of violent immigrants, and campaign on expanding immigration judge positions to move through our backlog of cases quicker. Instead they amplified false propoganda that the Republicans made up.
A vote for a third party is a completely wasted vote, so most assume that anyone actively encouraging people to waste their vote are doing it as a spoiler to have Trump win.
I think these people forget that almost all votes in the U.S. system are completely wasted, so if you already live in one of those many areas you can absolutely make a protest vote for your conscience.
