    So it’s “possible” Trump would never have done that if Biden had done something else and that’s why Biden is definitely worse than Trump. Gotcha. Go vote for Trump then. Problem solved.

      I’m torn between Jill Stein and Cornel West at the moment

        That’ll sure make a difference. Definitely vote for a person who has no chance of winning. Your anonymous vote will definitely change things. Good plan.

          I don’t vote for someone unless I want them to win.

            And there’s definitely a possibility of either Jill Stein or Cornel West winning. That is something that has at least as high a chance of happening as me winning the Powerball. And I’ve never bought a lottery ticket.

              I didn’t say anything about probabilities. I’m talking about who is right for the job.

                This is what you said:

                I don’t vote for someone unless I want them to win.

                So I guess you mean you only vote for people you fantasize about winning even if they have absolutely no chance?

                What does that achieve?

                  sometimes the people I vote for win.

                  but why would I ever have over someone if I didn’t want them to win?

                    Because if you vote for a person who actually has a chance of winning, you actually make a difference.

                    But sure. Jill Stein definitely has a chance of winning this time around. Not the last two times, but definitely this time.
