Kamala Harris told me not to vote for her, so I’m not going to (and why that isn’t just a protest vote). - eviltoast

    Maybe I read the article differently, but it seemed pretty single-issue to me.

    All of the things the author is demanding will never happen under Trump. None of it. Not one goddamned thing. They may get the opposite of most of that, though.

    Keeping him out of office is a required first step to getting any of their wish list. 3rd party candidates are not going to get elected until we get rid of the Electoral College which is not happening between now and Election Day. No amount of foot stamping, crying, bitching, moaning, or keyboard-warrioring on the internet is going to change that. The only way to beat Cheeto Mussolini is for everyone against him to rally behind the candidate that is likely to win. Not Stein. Not West. Not Billy Bob nor writing in Jeebus.

    That protest vote is as dumb as it is pointless in red Ohio.
