minus-squareSybillinkfedilink1•1 year agoI didn’t say anything about probabilities. I’m talking about who is right for the job.
minus-squareFlying Squidlinkfedilink1•1 year agoThis 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?
minus-squareSybillinkfedilink1•1 year agosometimes the people I vote for win. but why would I ever have over someone if I didn’t want them to win?
minus-squareFlying Squidlinkfedilink1•1 year agoBecause 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.
minus-squareSybillinkfedilink1•1 year agowhat 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?
minus-squareFlying Squidlinkfedilink1•1 year agoSo 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?
minus-squareSybillinkfedilink1•1 year agothat isn’t my standard. my standard is whether I want someone to win. that’s why I vote for people.
minus-squareFlying Squidlinkfedilink1•1 year agoAgain- what does that achieve if they have no chance of winning?
minus-squareSybillinkfedilink1•1 year agoI vote for the person that I want. that’s what it achieves it’s an end in itself.

This is what you said:
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.
