The Pennsylvania Democrat recalled his time serving as a Hillary Clinton surrogate in 2016, even after he supported Bernie Sanders in the primary.

    That’s not how it works. At all.

    A few percentage movement to the underdog side in a solid state indicates there’s potential for a swing in future elections, which means the underdog party may funnel more money and campaign tour time to said State.

    But sure, keep justifying wasting your vote, and not doing the one very easy thing you can do to fight fascism.

    Edit - I want to make something clear. By all means, support your independent / 3rd party candidates on the local level, where they actually have a chance. Support their continued attempts to rise. We need to break the 2 party system, eventually.

    But don’t waste your vote on the battle line. President, senate, congress. We need every last vote in the preferred 2 party candidate. These fucking matter.

    Until you get a real 3rd party candidate making governor, senator, congress, there’s literally zero chance they can win a major election.

      LOL. You people are just so predictably. You know, history shows that the more people vote, the more left things lean. But go on yelling from the top of your plastic soap box that people who don’t vote the “right” way are throwing their vote away. You’d do far more good trying to get people to vote.

      I’ll keep winning no matter what, while you are the true vote waster!
