    Kinda true. But this time I cant even throw my vote away for the libertarian candidate because I absolutely cannot support chase oliver.

  2. I knew I was getting into some shit when I saw actual libertarians excited about getting approx 11% of the popular vote and I’ve only known dread since

  3. It really doesn’t matter who you vote for. So you might as well vote for the person you like.

    Think of it like billiards. If you can’t get the ball in the pocket, get it as close as you can.

  5. If the entire country voted for a third party candidate that’s actually good for the country instead of the candidates on tv , things might get better. ❤️‍🩹

    I think libertarian candidate in the US should try to make some sort of a deal with less statistician guy. If the guy agrees to make some libertarian actions, then libertarian candidate asks people to vote for him. Otherwise libertarians vote for a libertarian candidate and increase his bargaining power for the next elections.

  7. The “throw away your vote” fallacy needs to be more widely recognized as a fallacy. Saying a vote is wasted because that candidate wont get X amount of votes is EXACTLY as stupid as saying there’s no point in voting cause your individual vote wont change the result anyway.

  8. I occasionally write in my pets names and then tell my super political friends about it so that they loose their damn minds.

    Man, the post does have a point, but portraying your argument as the person from the other side saying “the TV told me that ______” will never make you not look stupid

  10. This is my father’s excuse every time I tell him how the major political parties don’t give two shits about the general population.

    Somehow the LP convinced me Trump is the best candidate for this election. This election is too important to push candidates like Chase Oliver.

  12. Voting for a third party can be good if every year the amount of votes for that party is shown to increase. There’s more meaning to a vote than the victory in that election.

  13. “I know the two party system caused a lot of the problems we have, but do you know what will solve it? More two party system!”

  14. the whole notion of “throwing your vote away” is built on the faulty idea that their is inherent value in your vote being in alignment with the winner of the election.

    The odds that your vote will determine the election is 1 in the trillions.

    but the odds that you will service your conscience is 100% if you vote for the candidate that you truly feel is best.

    i would rather maintain my values, than simply increase the winners margin by 1. (or close the gap of the loser by 1)

  15. In theory I agree but not all elections are equal. America has barely endured the shitstorm that has been Biden and I doubt it can survive 4 years of Harris. So it really is a vote against Harris because America cant endure 4 more years of BS far leftist policies.

    So, in this image am I to understand that a sheep = someone who understands the math of a FPTP voting system.

    It’s rational decision to vote for a lesser of 2 evils in this system. It’s the system’s fault. Not the sheeple’s.

  17. Don’t let people on this shithole website tell you how to vote. Make your voice heard and third party is always better than oligarchy

    lol good luck voting for Chase Oliver. I’m sure he’ll score a huge upset.

    We need it have it every stare for local to federal government elections. Republicans hate the idea in my state cause they know they don’t run on anything except being a little better.. in one or 2 areas. But it’s a great tool to fight the uniparty

  20. The TV didn’t have to tell me that compromise and duality are inherent laws of nature in our election system.
