    Good luck with Project 2025, because that’s what third party voters are voting for.

    We need to get rid of FPTP voting before a 2 party system can be derailed.

      Are you like, actually touched?

      We’re talking about the Democratic nominee right now. Not any third party candidate.

        Biden is the Democratic nominee. Sure it’s not official until August 19-22 but unless he resigns, dies, or is otherwise fully incapacitated before then, he is the candidate who will be on the ballots in November. None of those possibilities seem likely.

          We haven’t had a convention. We don’t until August.

          Biden is not the nominee. You should try and learn how things actually work.

            Maybe look at history from time immemorial. Biden is the nominee. As unfortunate as that may be, that’s our reality.

                I’m poor and homeless. So come get my ass if you really want a bet. Bring a cleaver and chop me to pieces. You think I fucking care?

                You want stakes? How about IRL steaks?

        Are you? Because people are still thinking about voting third party. Despite the fact that the system in place will not allow a third party candidate to prevail. And voting third party takes away from the Democratic party vote every time.

      Without ranked choice voting a third party vote is throwing away a vote.

        Correct. And almost always a vote that would go to a Democrat candidate.
