I like how libs always have to tell me what it is that I believe, instead of engaging with the things that I say.

The obvious is to vote 3rd party. But mostly realize that voting is one of the least effective methods that we have. Rebellion, sharing information, protesting, mutual aide, joining and building unions, etc.

I also like how your criteria is "...doesn’t give republicans power", something that the Democrats do all the time.

    A third party vote is in very nearly every district in the US a spoiler vote because third parties are fundamentally unviable in very nearly every district in the US. If you're politically informed and engaged you'd already know about the incredibly well documented spoiler effect. But you're not engaging in good faith in the first place are ya?

    That assumes that every third party vote is going to the candidate you want, which is clearly not true.

    If you’re politically informed and engaged you’d already know about the incredibly well documented spoiler effect.

    And if you're politically informed, you know that the Democrats would rather let the Republicans win, then let leftists have a chance. They spend more time punching left, than they do fighting Republicans.

    But you’re not engaging in good faith in the first place are ya?

    The person who told me what my beliefs are, ignores the points I've made, and has hypocritical standards is accusing me of not engaging in good faith?

    Classic lib
