Harris v. Trump Debate Thread | Trump DECLINES another debate (in ALL CAPS!)

I think it’s way more honorable for someone to outright state that they are going to vote for Trump and they don’t give a flying fuck whether you care or not, than it is to do some bullshit like write-in a candidate who is not even on the ballot. One of my close family members, who is a two-time Trump voter but who is disgusted by Trump now, won’t vote for him but won’t vote for Harris, so this person is going to write in Condi Rice, so they say. I’ve told him I would have way more respect for a vote for Trump than I have respect for a write-in.

In which case your position is really that you're OK with who everyone else wants.

Not really "Ok" with, but more like "not gonna be complicit in" I will live with and accept whichever one wins. It's obviously going to be one of the two (I'd be shocked if Harris doesn't win fairly easily in the end though)

You’re complicit regardless.

To steal a line from a Rush song, “if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.” Throwing a vote away on a third party—or choosing not to vote at all—is still complicity in a 2-party system.

Is it really “throwing a vote away”? And is it “complicit” or “trapped”? Complicit in what, specifically?

Why vote at all?

Because I am an eligible voter and I get to use my vote to vote for whoever I choose. And I am choosing to vote for President and Governor of NC the people I want have those offices which is neither the Republican or Democratic nominee for those two races. I'll also go Mo Green. Morrow is nuts.

I understand your point, but I have always disagreed with the notion that a vote against the two major party candidates is thrown away.
