    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.

              what do I care what their chances of winning are if I don’t want them to win? why would I have over someone if I don’t want them to win?

                So neither Trump nor Biden will do a single thing you want to happen or a single thing you want to stop happening that the other will not? Not one?

                  that isn’t my standard. my standard is whether I want someone to win. that’s why I vote for people.
