    I see the campaign to suppress the Democrat vote is in full swing.

    The only thing that gets Trump elected is people not voting. Whether the GOP or Putin, this is somebody’s propaganda.

      You can see a comment from the OP talking about how he used to have 2 million karma on reddit.

      It’s honestly kinda sad to look at, like when you see those documentaries about hoarders or other people that have wasted their lives away to some nonsense but are so committed to it they can’t even understand that it’s not a good thing.

        Also the central premise “I can’t possibly be a shill! I was active on Reddit” has a fairly obvious logical flaw

          People who are under the delusion that their favorite third party candidate can actually win believe some weird shit.

              Not particularly, but I can at least recognize that electing a third party practically requires getting rid of the electoral college.

              If no one gets a majority of EC votes, the winner is picked by the house of representatives. So any third party president needs to get a majority of the vote in a majority of states to win. No third party candidate has ever come remotely close to that.

              Under STAR, score, condorcet or IRV? It’s unlikely but possible. With the EC? It’s essentially impossible.
