  • To denounce a candidate is to say that you shouldn’t vote for them.

    Or you can vote against them.

    To vote for a candidate who you say doesn’t deserve a vote is self-contradiction.

    They deserve a vote solely for the reason that doing so is the only possible means of voting against the other candidate. It’s not a self-contradiction.

    A tactically correct action is an action that best furthers your goals.

    What are the goals in this scenario?



  • That’s just definitionally what those words mean. To say “This candidate is the best choice, I’m voting for them and others should to” is an endorsement, and to say “I endorse this candidate” means, “This candidate is the best choice, I’m voting for them and others should too.”

    Under FPTP, one can absolutely use their vote to denounce a candidate and vote against them taking office. Especially if that vote has a chance of actually pushing the needle far enough to make that happen.

    Blatant lie. I have consistently disagreed with that at every single point of this conversation.

    Blatant lie.

    • Kamala or Trump will be elected president
    • Trump losing would be better overall in the short term
    • Trump losing would be better overall in the long term

    Do you need me to link that for you?
