    Wow statistically supporting Trump is a very bold move.

    They want to vote for Stein. They get to do what they want with their votes. They are educated enough to choose which candidate they want to vote for. Even if it’s not your candidate.

      Where did I say they didn’t? I simply said as facts support that that statistically only supports Trump and not Stein. When it comes to presidential elections third parties are persona non grata outside of helping the worst option get elected.

          Just because someone has the basic ambulatory nature to pick a candidate. Does not mean they are informed or educated. It is there right regardless. But that doesn’t make it good or informed. And just as it is their right to do it. It’s everyone’s right to call out what a blunder it is.

          They don’t WANT to vote for Stein, they’re being convinced to vote for Stein by people who want the worst possible outcome for them.

          Taking votes away from Harris only hurts the Palestinian cause, it does not help them. Should Trump get elected, he will allow Bibi to RAZE Gaza, while all along saying “It’s about time, why didn’t you do it sooner?”

          https://www.reuters.com/world/netanyahu-denies-report-he-spoke-trump-about-gaza-talks-2024-08-15/

          “I will give Israel the support that it needs to win but I do want them to win fast.”

          In the same event, Trump also labelled pro-Palestinian supporters calling for an end to U.S. support for Israel’s war as “pro-Hamas thugs” and “jihad sympathizers.” He threatened to arrest and deport them from the U.S. if he became president.

            Who? I personally think they are educated enough to know what they want and don’t want.

      Telling someone their vote is wasted on a 3rd party is blatant right wing voter suppression and they wonder why over 100m people don’t vote. They say republicans vote against their own interests while demanding 3rd party voters do they same
