I’m getting sick of people telling me voting third party is a wasted vote

@MarkPaul And why am I an idiot? Because I didn’t vote for whoever you did?

@PerchingDove No... for engaging in voting as though you are voting for a favourite nail polish. How long do you intend to be empty-headed? That may have been cute once; now it just looks pathetic.

@MarkPaul I think this actually went over your head, lol.

@MarkPaul While I wish she hadn't stolen a possible vote from my candidate... there is a sound reason for voting for some 3rd party candidates.
1, if they never get enough votes, cumulatively, there are some states that will drop them from future ballot eligibility. Then when they really need that spot it is much harder and more expensive to get back on in those particular states. If the 2 party system folds and there are not reasonable 3rd parties left standing... then we go down to a [big][i][b][c=#804600]1[/c][/b][/i][/big] party system. Now what does [i][b][c=#804600]that[/c][/b][/i] sound like?

@xmedleft 🎻🤏🏽

@PerchingDove I don't get your allusion to the world's smallest violin joke. If you actually read and comprehended my information you'd see that there was not a vie for sympathy in any form.
Maaaaybe you win points for bringing back an oldie, but seriously it was out of context.

@xmedleft That was about what you said about me stealing a vote from your candidate. How’s this for an old one? Cry me a river.

@PerchingDove That one's not as funny. But seriously, go back and read it and you'll see that while it would steal a vote, I wasn't unhappy about it and then I listed very good reasons TO vote 3rd party... so by out of context I mean WHERE did I say I was sad, upset, or crying?

@xmedleft I don’t care. You accused me of stealing. Just because I didn’t vote for your candidate doesn’t make me a thief. I’ve had it with you manchildren. Just grow up!

@PerchingDove Actually the whole reason I wrote was to defend your right to do so against the statement from @MarkPaul that alluded to you being an idiot.
Learn to spot an ally, becasue you're actions SINCE have demonstrated that he might have been onto something.
I am keyed into somethings here... 1) the term "stealing a vote", when all you did was cast your vote a different way (which as I pointed out is your total right) [c=#008099]is strictly an [i]expression[/i] here -- a figure of speech[/c]. 2) [c=#005E2F]Most Americans would have passed that by[/c] and given it very little thought and then would have thanked me for sticking up for them -- which is what I actually did. 3) Unless [c=#BF0000]you don't have colloquial grasp[/c] of that nuance [c=#BF0000]of the English language[/c]. 4) Like a foreigner who came on board here to sew election discontent... Like Russians, Chinese and Iranians have been known to do this year. 5) As I said an American would have known it was a figure of speech, [c=#1F5E00]I did not accuse you of the act of stealing an actual thing[/c], like an apple or a can of tuna, but certain foreign actors CAN'T brush that language off. I't NOT a figure of speech to them in any context. I seriously don't think a Russian would give 2 flying fucks if you even caught them stealing a real tangible item... and a Chinese would feel so far removed from Western legal notions that that leaves [i][b][c=#804600]IRANIAN[/c][/b][/i]; For whom stealing is a MAJOR offence and very upsetting.
Welcome Babak, I have found you.

Some ally you are, lol. Sorry I take offense to false accusations made against me. You didn’t say anything to indicate you were just using a figure of speech and with the political climate being what it is today, you can’t fault me for that. But I don’t even want you as an ally anyway. Definitely not after this. You could have handled this like the more mature person you’re supposed to be but instead, you’ve shown your true colors as an immature condescending jerk. Probably a bigot too with how poorly you clearly think of foreigners. Like I said, grow up. And learn to choose your words more carefully next time. With that, we’re finished here.

@PerchingDove Nah, I'm good with foreigners, I'm not good with countries that have a paid military office job that is solely based on disrupting the US's political process... try a different Red Herring, Babak. Oops that was another figure of speech.
