  • If lets say 10% of people vote for the green party. We know that what people want relates to their messaging and they’d try and take voters away from them as it’s easier than taking republicans or people that refuse to vote since you know what the green party stands for. That’s different than voting for the social democrats and so on.

    You can’t lump options 3 and 4 together like that.

    Not voting sends the message that people are dissatisfied or feel disenfranchised. Now if the Democrats win they won’t care to change. Or even if they nearly win. But if they loose badly they’ll have to cater to these voters. And thus a pivot would be in order. But like we’re both said, not voting harder to take get a party to move in that direction


  • So as an individual you have 4 options:

    1- vote for Biden: democrats maintain the current path as that’s literally what’s happening now

    2- vote Trump: either they maintain their current path or democrats have to pivot

    3- vote third party: if that party gets enough votes one of the main parties will catwr to the messaging of that party to take those voters in the next cycle as it’s an easy win

    4- don’t vote: if enough people don’t vote they’ll cater more to them next cycle but that’s harder to aim in the direction you’d want to promote.

    Is that a good enough breakdown? So if I were to rank my options I’d go for 3,4,2,1
