    If someone by now isn’t concerned about defeating Trump, there’s literally nothing we can do about it other than to call them out for being a shitbag for voting 3rd party.

    It must be nice to have the luxury of making a protest vote. They must think their life wouldn’t change either way.

      Hey don’t get me wrong I think his decision of voting for a third party is really really really stupid, I don’t think we disagree here.

      But the political discourse in the current time is dead, and it’s polarisation that killed it. There can be no healthy democracy in an environment where opponents are not seen as dignified people who you disagree with.

      I’m doing my part here to keep democracy alive. This guy is somebody who has ideas I find to be very wrong, but is still a guy like me and you who is doing the best he can like me and you, albeit misguidedly.
