Many people believe like you. Typical Americans, like yourself, think in a binary fashion on this issue; you either win or you lose and election and voting 3rd party lends itself to supporting one genocidal party over the other. I call bullshit because most people who are voting for Stein are standing for their beliefs by not voting for either party. That it might help one be elected over the other has no weight with me and most likely with my fellow Stein supporters. We are tired of this two party system that supports wars and corporate power over people everything time and the win will be in the number of people who do support Stein. She most likely will not win the presidency because our country is too immoral to stand up and be heard, win or lose.

Understood completely. You might be tired with the system that has two main parties, one or the other of which always wins the presidential election, and you might object to corporate influence (so do I), but that is the reality.

So vote for Stein, and find out whether it was Harris or Trump who won.

I agree with you that the fact that voters mindlessly vote D or R is spineless, or, as you say, immoral, but it is also the reality.

I will remind you that it was Perot who got Clinton elected, twice. The Perot party had an influence. But that influence did not get Perot elected. You can criticize the system, but that's how it works.

By the way, who's your second choice after Stein? If your vote for Stein causes your second choice to lose by one vote, how will you feel?
