    But the reality is, in the current broken election system,

    Very true. And the ONLY way to fix that election system is by voting for who we think will fix that, and not just who we think may win. When do we finally make this move?

    Everyone says, “Oh not THIS election. THIS election is too important to try to change things now!”

    Guess what? They have been fucking saying that for the last 50 years. lmao

      Yes, voting for a candidate who is almost guaranteed to not get elected, and end up with the party less likely to want to fix it.

      good plan! good luck 👍

        So should we ONLY vote one we think is going to win then?

        How about we vote for who we WANT to win. And I want Jill Stein to win. I don’t look at the odds, I look at the platform and the policies.

          You are entirely missing the point. That’s ok. In the grand scheme of things, whats one single vote, right?

              So why vote at all? 🤷‍♀️

              You absolutely should vote. But, you aren’t getting the point.

              No one is “upset”. Just a conversation. Are you upset?

                I’m not upset at all. I’m happily voting for who I want to win. And that’s Jill Stein. I’m saying no reason for anyone to get upset.

                Because that’s my right as a US citizen. We get to vote for who we want to win. And I want Jill Stein to win, so I am voting for her. As is my right. And you don’t agree, and that’s your right to. So vote for who YOU want to win.
