I cringe every time I see this come up.
Because it isn't what you actually mean, and the horrible logic of it makes it easy for the Lemmy Lefties to dunk on.
Of course a 3rd party vote isn't a vote for Trump any more than it is a vote for Kamala.
What it actually is is a discarded opportunity to vote against Trump. Which is also dispicable, but actually accurate.
Everyone knows that's what you mean by this, but the Lemmy Lefties will play dumb and latch onto that logical fallacy every time.
They loved Bernie and praised him to the skies.
Then he endorsed Biden and Harris.
Now he's a 'sheepdog' that rounds up people to be slaughtered.
That's a new one, what are you referring to by him being a sheepdog?
Edit: Funny people on here and reddit just downvote people instead of replying when they post incorrect information and get asked about it
I saw "sheepdog" for the first time yesterday. As I stated in my first comment, I take it to mean that he's rounding up sheep to be slaughtered.
To me, expecting any candidate to be perfect is silly.
I like NYC Mayor Ed Koch's line. "If you agree with me 51% of the time, vote for me. If you agree with me 100% of the time, see a psychiatrist."
