Am I wrong?

@midnightrose It seems if many of the Biden votes are split and go to another candidate, that increases the possibility of Trump's reelection.

@InkBot It might but it would be a better indicator of what people want. Also I'm pretty sure the votes would split for Trump voters too. Everybody is just scared of the other party winning.

@midnightrose Honestly, I don't think too many Trump voters would vote for anyone else. They will support him no matter what. It's borderline cult mentality.

@InkBot I've talked to enough to know they vote for Trump out of dislike and distrust toward democrats, not because they are loyalists to Trump.

@midnightrose I live in Alabama, so it may be different here. They wear the shirts and hats, they have bumper stickers. It's bigger than their religion and football combined.

@InkBot sounds like hell to me!!

@InkBot I live in a red state too but the town I'm in is more urban and therefore more of a mix. I see some wear the hats and shirts, flags in their yard, etc. There are fantatics but I'm just saying it's not all Trump voters who go all out like that. They don't agree with everything he says or does but prefer him to the alternative. If there was a better alternative with a chance to win they'd choose that. Some of them voted independent in the last election, so it's not out of the realm.

@InkBot in the most recent elections, the third party candidates more likely pulled votes from democrats. That was proven to be the case in 2016. To go further, had those voting for Jill Stein voted for Secretary Clinton she would have become the president.

@samueltyler2 Exactly!

@samueltyler2 If that isn't who they desired, they still voted for who they felt was the best person. She could have won but she didn't because she didn't win their vote. They voted for who they wanted to be their president. Not their fault, and it's wrong for anybody to blame them for her loss.

@samueltyler2 The Libertarians pull from the Republicans.

@midnightrose my love, I am not blaming them, just stating the statistics. Although I didn't think Mrs. Clinton was a great candidate, considering the magnitude of what she was trying to achieve, but she was heads and shoulders more accomplished and better equipped for the position than either her mainstream opponent or any third party candidate. Unfortunately, the propaganda machine pushed out so many conspiracy theories, false information, and all sorts of unsubstantiatable claims that it made her look weaker than she was. The same thing is being attempted NOW. There is an effort again, to paint both candidates as negative, and thus push people from even voting. It looks as if this may not be working as well this time. The apparent surge in voting may mean that there are strong feelings about voting FOR someone. We won't know until after November 3, perhaps not even then, it may take a few days or weeks. We have obvious handicaps being thrown at voters, hurting their ability to vote. Then we have one candidate who refuses to state he will accept the verdict of the election.

I am very worried about the future, more for you and your kids then me. 😘

@samueltyler2 Not saying you have blamed them. I was speaking in general. That's your opinion she was better equipped. I'm not sure what that means. Personally, I think anybody who wants to be president probably isn't the best person for the job. I'm worried no matter who wins because it's just more of the same but the divide is getting bigger. Either way we aren't heading anywhere good.

@midnightrose I don't want to argue the politics, but I can't ever imagine a more dramatic choice than in this election. Anyone who is undecided has his/her blindfold and earplugs on!

@samueltyler2 Not arguing. It will be a big election year. At the end of it the people who vote for a third party candidate won't be sitting on the fence. They will have made a choice. Their choice is probably clear to them too.

@midnightrose yes, we are discussing, not arguing. I wouldn't want to argue with you. There really doesn't appear to be any real majorbthird party candidates this time. I just hope no one had bought into the propaganda that neither candidate is a good candidate and sits out the vote! This is really the only country in thenwotkd in which such a large percentage of the voting-eligible people don't vote!

@samueltyler2 My only issue is with people who push the idea that there are only two candidates to choose from in any election. Propaganda or not, people can decide neither the democrat nor the republican candidate is the person they want running the country. More people would vote if they felt their vote mattered. There are people out there who don't like either Biden or Trump who will still be voting, though.
