    Considering Trump has indicated he aims to abolish elections there is no upside at all in voting anything but Democrats.

            I’m a straight white married dad and I’m not afraid for me. But I have LGBT relatives who I absolutely fear would be at the very least more discriminated against, not by trump directly, but by the fucking douchbag Christian right who think they’ll be running the place.

            The problem with Cheeto Mussolini is that he’s only worried about his own outcome, and if it doesn’t affect him, he’ll let whichever group he owes the most do whatever they want. And they have a plan this time since last time he wasn’t supposed to win either.

                  They don’t run things. If you think Trump is an actual Christian and cares about that (besides playing up to them sometimes to get some votes), then I don’t know what else to tell you.

                  Besides, I don’t care if Trump gets elected. I’m not afraid of him.

                  You can care about him and be afraid of him all you want. That’s totally your right. I’m not going that direction though.

                  I respect and support your right to have your own opinions and to vote for whoever you choose. Respect my right to do the same.

        He has a very real chance of winning. He has laid groundwork, like the Supreme Court. He has people around him that are working towards their shared goal - it’s by no means a one man operation. And they have prepared. So there’s a real chance this might be the last time you get to vote.

            I actually don’t think the opinion that lying is okay is okay. It actually seems pretty fucking awful. ThAnK yOu!!!1

            The statement “He has no chance of winning” is demonstrably false, it is not a matter of opinion. arguably, the statement about third parties is demonstrably false as well

                he won’t win

                Gee I wonder why you have full confidence that the guy won once, almost won again, and led in the polls for a while, won’t win. It is a fucking mystery. Definitely not that you’re lying. Nope. Thank you!!!

                You really don’t think it’s your personal vote that is the issue here?

                If you have decided how you will vote, and it is a personal matter only, why have you posted 75+ articles making noise about fringe party candidates’ ballot access?

                  I didn’t write the articles, friend. I didn’t make the news, friend.

                  If you don’t like the information in the news articles, please write to the news orgs and let them know why you think they should withhold the information from the American public.

                  Why have you posted 75+ articles making noise about fringe party candidates’ ballot access?

                  The same reason I have posted over 300 articles and comments about socialists. My post history: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

                  Because I think the articles are interesting. Nothing I am posting breaks the rules of this sub.

                  Do you think information about third parties should be withheld and censored?

                  Please block me if you are tired of my posts and/or comments. Thank you!

                    This pathetic argument here is basically “I won’t admit to being a liar, plus lying isn’t illegal so you can stop me!”
