    Protest vote all you want. The reality is that in our electoral system, you’re doing nothing, with the possible exception of siphoning a vote away from a viable candidate whom you more closely align with.

    Proudly display your irrational actions, brah. Everyone is very impressed.

      It’s not a protest vote. I like her and her policies, so I am voting for her.

      Sure I am. I am voting for who I want to win. As is my right.

      siphoning a vote away from a viable candidate whom you more closely align with

      I don’t like Harris. And I didn’t like Biden. And I don’t like Trump. So I’m not voting for them. You seem really upset by that.

      Proudly display your irrational actions, brah. Everyone is very impressed.

      No one here knows me. Don’t you think if I really wanted to “impress” people, I’d vote for Lemmy’s (and Reddit’s) fav candidate?! lol

        You have a bumper sticker on your car, brah!

        You’re being irrational, loudly, and then run and complain to the mods when people mock you for it. If you don’t want me to make fun of you, don’t say stupid things.

          Yep. See, what that means is that I’m proud of who I am voting for. Proud enough to say it publicly. :)

          You’re being irrational, loudly, and then run and complain to the mods when people mock you for it.

          But do you have to mock to make your point. Do you really have to make fun of people to make your point?! Shouldn’t your point be strong enough that you don’t have to stoop to that?
