nope, a vote for some candidate is a vote for that candidate. i'm not burying my head in the sand because i'm not an american voter. i'm a foreigner that's been a victim of lying imperialist presidents from the bullshit land of the free fairyland for a long freaking time
you claim the US to be a free country for at least the next 12 months, and i think you have your head in the sand. just because i think Trump is way worse than Biden doesn't mean i don't know for a fact that he's really bad
i came here because @dojan@lemmy.world falsely claimed that no one else is on the table
Considering you have no skin in the game, do you think it's proper to try and influence the political process of another country?
I didn't like it when Cambridge Analytica did it in my country.
first, most of the world has a skin in this game
second, it seems to me that you're claiming i'm trying to influence US elections because i don't agree with you. i started typing in here because i was mislead by a lie, asked for clarification, and then added information for other readers to clarify that lie
you're comparing my posts to the actions of Cambridge Analytica (lol!!) that's really sensasionalist and manipulative
Duverger's Law says you don't know what you're talking about.
yeah it's not the first time you stamp that out of someone.
/s i really think bullying people into the same choice as yours is very democratic
Cry more, propagandist.
Okay so technically others are on the table, but realistically you only have two options. My country uses a representative parliament, your party needs to hold a certain amount of votes to enter parliament because each (literal) seat in parliament corresponds to a certain amount of votes. You obviously can't divide a person in two, so you need to clear the bar.
The U.S. has a singular winner. Unless for some reason a very large portion of voters decide to vote for a third party (and the same third party at that), you're unlikely to ever see a third party candidate actually win.
