    It’s completely delusional to vote for a third party candidate in the US election system. The chance of winning is 0%. It won’t happen. Absolutely impossible. The only thing it does is strengthen the candidate with the more committed voter base or in other words: the republican candidate.

    If you had ranked choice voting or the president was elected by a parliament that is elected by proportional vote like in most of Europe, that wouldn’t be a problem. It’s not like that though. If you vote third party in the US, all you accomplish is making a Trump victory more likely.

    Maybe the primaries system is fucked up, but protest votes in the presidential elections won’t change the system for the better either. Neither party wants to introduce a democratic, proportional voting system because both parties would lose power. I don’t know how to fix it, i just know that getting Trump elected won’t.

    Not casting your vote for Biden is equal to casting half a vote to Trump, who will ensure there is not question left whether it actually qualifies as genocide or not. It will be horrible. Please vote Biden. Lesser evil means less evil.

    I’m not sure how it works in the US but join the democratic party and vote for the presidential candidate you want to see. If it doesn’t work out and you don’t like the democratic candidate but said candidate is still better than the Republican, still vote Democrat.
