    I think you know exactly what I’m saying.

    Let’s face it, almost half of the country doesn’t want Harris to win. And if more of them vote for their candidate than those who vote for Harris, then she loses. That’s democracy in action.

    It sounds like you’re saying you want to see Harris lose more than you want Stein to win. More than half the country doesn’t want Trump to win, but he will if Democrats are divided or if no party gets a majority.

    I also agree we should get rid of the Electoral College and have ranked choice voting, but that’s not the reality we live in. Voting as if the system is ideal will just result in Trump a Trump presidency like 2016.

      Not at all. I’m voting for who I want to win. As is my right.

      Then you shouldn’t be worried, then. Right?

      I also agree we should get rid of the Electoral College and have ranked choice voting, but that’s not the reality we live in.

      So maybe we should vote for people who want to change that. That’s what I’m doing.

      I don’t care. The world won’t end if Trump is president. You all said the same thing in 2016. And society is still here. And society will still be here in 4 years. I promise.
