Sure I'm going to go to the third party. I recommend you all do the same unless you're in a swing state. Dr. West and Claudia de La Cruz are actual good candidates.
Curious are you in agreement with West that NATO and the west are to blame for Russia's Invasion of Ukraine? He opposes funding for Ukraine and wants to end the conflict giving Putin parts of the sovereign nation of Ukraine.
West is willing to accept Russia's demand for parts of Ukraine. That would be a requirement to stop the war. Unless you think West thinks Putin will give back what he has stolen?
So what is his position? He doesn't support Ukraine defending itself. What does he support? He has stated he supports a negotiated end to the war. Negotiated. What do you think that means? It can ONLY mean Ukraine negotiates how much land Putin is allowed to steal.
No, not really see. Biden is actively supporting the Israeli side of the Palestinian genocide. Dr. West is not funneling arms or money to Russia. So your original point actually works against you.
I think you should pay more attention to politics.
Do you really not understand the difference between actively supplying arms to and supporting a nation that is committing a genocide and just not supporting a country that's being invaded?
Those are two wildly different things and if you really think they're equivalent then this conversation is not productive.
Someone downvoted, but this is the right answer. Maybe the phrasing should have been reversed. I'll do that here.
I live in California. My vote doesn't matter in that we know California will go blue. Therefore, I can vote my conscience and not vote for Biden because the threat of Trump is neutralized. If people voting for third parties in safe blue stats start trending, Dems will be forced to try to appeal to said voters (the possibility of a third party getting covered in a meaningful way is unlikely at present).
I used to live in Kansas. Kansas was always a red state. It seems like it's become pretty close there now. I would not vote my conscience in Kansas for this election. It's possible that it could be a swing state. The threat of Trump is too great to take the risk.
