Saw this today, and … well, I’m not going to be so forgiving to people suggesting to vote Third Party rather than vote for Biden. If Trump wants me to do something, and you want me to do that same something, that tells me you’re aligned with Trump.

    - Strange game, it seems like the only winning move is not to play.

      By all means, abstain. Just don’t expect to have earned the right to complain when one of those two candidates still wins and does something you don’t like.

        By that logic you’re not allowed to complain if you’re choice doesn’t win either.

          At least I participated in the process and didn’t let it happen without trying to make a difference.

            In my book you made it worst by legitimizing this rigged system.

              Nothing short of a revolution would change the rigged system. At the very least, voting gives me a small chance to push the results towards the least-crappy direction.

                You had me in the first half.

                You lost me in the second.
