    Go learn maths, go understand the mechanism behind the spoiler effect.

    this condescension is really inappropriate.

      Sorry, that’s my bad. Your initial response was quite frustrating.

      Emotions are high because this election affects people around the world, and hearing that you don’t care enough to make a difference, is not very pleasant.

      I apologise.

          Alrighty, then I suppose you just aren’t voting. Which is your choice, just as long as you’re clear on that.

          Your candidate is not going to win, and I think you know that.

          And if you think these choices are equally as bad, that’s a whole different topic that let’s not get in to.

              For sure, I wouldn’t like voting for either, also.

              Just that if they’re not equal, then that means you have a preference. And I hope you will act on that preference and make a difference, instead or just making yourself feel good that you’ve voted for the candidate you liked best.

              You’ve been robbed of that choice by your voting system.

                I would feel terrible if my vote helped put either of them in office, so I can’t justify voting for either of them.

                  Well I suppose for voters like you, then yeah, go vote for your candidate. Just seems odd that you’re saying you don’t think their equally bad, but instead of then making a difference to ensure the less bad option wins, you’d rather make yourself feel good for voting for someone you like best.

                  May the gods have mercy on us mere vassals who are watching from the sidelines.

                  Stay safe in these troubled times friend, and thanks for engaging, even if at times it got a bit heated and apologies for offence caused.
