what did voting third party actually do here other than make you feel good?

I'm in california lol my vote means fuck all, so why should I throw it away for Kamala? You liberals really don't think too hard about things do you?

Also I dislike the assumption that because I don't participate in the circus of electoral politics that I am not engaged with actual meaningful political projects year round. It shows an incredible lack of imagination or understanding of how real positive change is actually made and how political power is built. But yeah keep voting for people that hate you hoping that things will somehow get better.

I did not assume anything about you, I specifically said I wasn't saying you personally did this. but you can't deny there's a decent proportion of left-leaning voters who do this.

I'm also not a liberal, neither the US usage of the term nor the original usage. But do keep insulting everyone who disagrees with you, I'm sure it will be great for attracting people to your cause
