    I don’t. They’re not a serious party, and due to how shitty our electoral process is, all they do at the end of the day is strip votes from the Democratic candidates.

    I wish that wasn’t how our elections worked, but it is. Pretending that’s not the case is a self-defeating strategy.

      They’re not stripping away votes that they are not entitled to, that’s not how things work. We wouldn’t vote for your shitty candidates if they were the only one on the ballot.

        Tell me you don’t understand the tactical implications of FPTP without telling me you don’t understand the tactical implications of FPTP

        This isn’t about “my shitty candidates”. Stop being obtuse. You are intentionally confusing the issue and misleading people.

          There is no confusion, if liberals were so concerned about my vote and getting FPTP then they should abandon their party and support 3rd options.

          Yes, they are shitty candidates. When their only policy is ‘joy’ and people are falling for it, they are shitty

            Good luck convincing 70+ million people to vote for your shitty Russian stooge.

            their only policy is ‘joy’

            Nice talking point, but it’s a little out of date at this point. You should ask for the updated list.

        Nobody is entitled to any votes.

        We wouldn’t vote for either of your shitty Putin compromised candidates even if they were they were the only ones on the ballot.
