    I think everyone who was going to vote for trump but is feeling doubt should pick a third party candidate to vote for instead.

        People should do what they think is best, based on their own situation (region, district, needs, etc) and beliefs(what they think should happen, what they can ethically stand, etc). In this election, I think Trump is a dangerous (personally and politically) and incompetent enough figure that conservative people should deliberately throw the election to force their party in a different direction.

        My personal belief is that government is a tool, and my vote will go to the person who seems most likely to enact policy that aligns with my values.

          I totally agree.

          Harris is not the one that does that for me so I won’t be voting for her, but everyone should def pick the person that aligns with their values.

            I don’t think there’s any reason to believe you’re even American

              Well I have 10 subs that I started and that I mod. And not all of them are political. Feel free to check them out in my profile.

              And I don’t think there’s any reason to believe you’re even American. Do you have proof that you are?

                Weird. No one asked you for proof. It’s obviously suspect that you suddenly appeared from nowhere and apparently spend half your day on this weird canvassing.

                  What proof do you need?

                  It’s obviously suspect that you suddenly appeared from nowhere

                  Isn’t that every single person that starts Lemmy? Isn’t every new person, “suddenly appeared from nowhere?”

                  Exactly how much time did you think I should have waited before I started posting articles I thought were interesting?!

                  Because when I signed up, there was no disclaimer telling me that I had to wait a certain time to start posting.

                  How long did YOU wait to start posting after you started a new account?

                  Basically, because I post news articles, (that I didn’t even write–they came form news orgs) that you don’t like, you are implying that I’m not even American.

                  So does every Amercian have to believe in the exact same things you do? Because guess what? About half the country isn’t gonna vote for your candidate. Does that mean they aren’t American?

                  It’s obviously suspicious that you’re so against third parties all of a sudden, even tho they have been around long before this election.

                  So now that I think of it, I don’t think there’s any reason to believe you’re even American.

                    Yes you’re right. There is no law against you starting an account to post a bunch of third party candidate shit right before the election. Therefore it cannot be suspicious.
