        Yeah I voted PSL

        God. So fucking stupid. Such an embarrassing thing to admit.

        FACT: The 3rd party candidate with the most votes in 2024 (not the PSL candidate) only received a HALF OF A SINGLE PERCENT of the total votes cast. Meaning no 3rd party candidate even stood the remotest chance of winning the presidency.

        So, how absolutely mindlessly stupid does one have to be to vote for a candidate that CANNOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES win? Especially when we’re in a situation where a felon rapist insurrectionist who is openly threatening American democracy is one of the candidates likely to actually win?

        Describe to me what happened in your life that led you to being this unbelievably dense.

        You want to vote 3rd party cuz you’re big mad about the two party system? Great. Do something intelligent and vote for local/state 3rd party candidates so a 3rd party can get more than ZERO members in Congress so they can start building a movement toward getting a candidate elected president. You’re not gonna have a good time though because currently no 3rd party is doing the work necessary to build that kind of movement.

        Jesus, it’s almost beyond belief that people like you actually exist. Absolutely no critical thinking capability at all.

          PSL votes accounted for 0.11% of the vote. 171,000 people electionwide. Across the entire nation.

          I get people are angry and want something smaller than them to attack, but the PSL and Uncommitted primary voters just didn’t swing the election by a longshot.

          Like if the entire country’s PSL voting bloc had moved to Michigan in 2024 they could have swung the election for Harris and got 15 electoral college votes. Which would again lose 2024 to Trump, just at 297-241 instead of 312-226. Because the electoral college completely ratfucks our presidential election process.

            You’re trying to make an excuse after the fact for people who made a very stupid decision not knowing if their very stupid decision was going to be the deciding factor.

            The fact that it didn’t end up mattering does not absolve them. It could very well matter next time they choose to make an incredibly stupid decision.

            Don’t care.

            Him riding on his high horse is what pissed me off. Fuck third party voters, fuck non-voters, fuck pedo voters.
