      I tend to agree. But I will absolutely vote for Joe Biden if he’s the Democratic candidate for President. Not voting will just help Trump and the Republicans.

        If you live in a deep red state, all the electoral votes are going to Trump anyway. Vote for who you want as long as it’s not Trump.

          I disagree. I think it sends a strong and important message to the world to vote against him, even in these states.

            You should still vote, it just doesn’t matter who for. The number of ‘Not Trump’ votes still counts the same.

        Voter shaming isn’t it chief. There’s 100 million that didn’t vote last time. Voter apathy is off the charts.

              So you vote for the party that almost never runs down-ticket ballots because they think losing the presidency is the only thing that matters?

              When Greens start running for school board, city council and the state legislatures, I’ll consider them. Believe it or not, those matter even more than who is president.

                Since 1985, Greens have won at least 1414 races, including at least 164 partisan races.

                At least 132 Greens currently in office have been directly elected.

                  1414 races is nothing. There are thousands upon thousands of state congressional districts and counties in this country. They are not serious.

              It won’t be much longer if Trump and the Republicans win in 2024.

              All you’re doing with a vote for the Green Party is helping Republicans who stand for the exact opposite of the Green Party. That’s how it is in an Electoral College system where the winner takes all.
