You asked where the left candidates are. I told you.

So, how does that show that voting for Stein is the same as not voting?

Duverger's Law just explains how the system works. It doesn't tell you who you should vote for.

You might not like that FPTP results in this, but that’s how math works.

Again, using the same logic, a vote for Harris in a blue state is the same as not voting.

"The math" says that it's impossible for my state to be anything but blue.

There's a Green Party candidate every election.

ignore mathematics existing and vote third party which is a fancy way of not voting

I live in a blue state. Using this logic, my vote for Harris is the same as not voting, because my state is going to go blue regardless. It's mathematics.

I don't think that Dick is a fan of Harris, but he's doing the calculus a lot of voters are doing: voting for the lesser evil.

Cheney is endorsing his own interests, and only his, and the interests of a wealthy conservative war monger will never align with yours,

If Cheney and I are both in a rowboat and the rowboat is heading for the rapids, I would say that our interests are aligned.

How can you leave when they're in your country?

They're afraid of the repercussions.

Do you know what website you're on?

American exceptionalism always made me cringe, but it makes me cringe more the older I get. I hate how presidential candidates feel like they have to call the US the most powerful, the greatest, and so on.

There are stories about people who attempt suicide and fail, so they're disabled and/or disfigured now. The crazy thing is that they're still alive. They didn't attempt it a second time. What that tells me is that suicide is something that temporarily grips you, and if you have the ability to cope somehow without killing yourself, things get better. Or maybe things don't get better, but you no longer want to die over it.

There are guys out there with half their face gone because they missed, and they decided that life was worth living.
