Don't like Kamala Harris' recent comment on guns? The solution is to support gun control, not vote for a Trump-enabling third-party spoiler.

If you think casting any ballot is a form of protest you need to learn what real protest looks like.
Hint: It doesn’t involve participating in the system you’re protesting.

Not voting isn't a protest either. Disrupting the voting? That would be a protest. But the Greens and Stein don't have the balls for that.

Say there are 9 voters. Four vote for Trump. Five heavily disagree with Trump (more than Trump's four supporters). Three of them vote for Harris, two refuse to vote. Then these two people helped Trump since he's winning now.
It works exactly the same on a much larger scale.

ochi_chernye @startrek.website In the actual world, governed by actual mathematics, you are incorrect. This has been repeatedly pointed out to you, with illustrative examples, by many people. Your stubborn, willful ignorance cannot change the fabric of reality.
