We might not have lost the House and Senate though, in addition to other smaller local races. Stop trying to absolve them.

Feel free to do the math yourself then. But I don't mind absolving them. They didn't vote for Trump, and they exist in a terrible two party system that makes them choose between fascists. They literally did not cause this. So shut the fuck up. I don't want to hear criticism of third party voters from anyone who hasn't given 10x that criticism of everyone else on your list.

Firstly, you assume I don't criticize others when my original post straight up does. That is a very false assumption. Secondly, you are only absolving them because you are in a position of privilege to do so. Until you've also had to uproot your life, tell your loved ones goodbye, and flee your home because of an existential threat, you have absolutely ZERO right to police my voice on this. With all due respect, fuck off.

I will not be responding further

Ya again, I need 10x the smoke for Republicans and Democrat politicians. Not just a mention. People voting for a better candidate are not the issue. I'm glad you won't be responding cause this level of stupidity is draining.

And you still haven't backed up your claim that third party voters had a significant sway on the election.
