That’s cope though.. as they are not going to get nearly enough votes to win, those candidates are irrelevant. It’s stupid but that is how it is. A vote for them is functionally speaking the same as not voting. Like yeah sure you’ll have “sent a message”, but it’s still a virtual vote for the winner. And you don’t get to complain about him: you could have helped by voting for the other one.

It sucks that you have to choose the lesser of only two evils (assuming your vote even counts, because lol electoral college) but that is the American way.

a vote for them is not functionally the same as not-voting. it counts for them. suggesting it doesn't is just more election misinformation.

>you’ll have “sent a message”

the only message sent by a vote is "this is who I want to win". if you want the genocide enablers to win, you can vote for them. if you want the law and order candidates to win, vote for them.
