funhusker Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 @knapplc you vote in the primaries, right? Why? We both know the answer; it’s because you want to be active in the process. My conversation was more about the people who ignore primaries because they’re “independent”. They see it as a pass to say that they aren’t at fault for Trump v Biden, or whoever. Maybe being active in the party was an over the top statement, but pretending parties don’t exist doesn’t seem to be working either. Link to comment

Newscasters and political commentators may not have chastised the protestors to your liking, but the medical experts did not issue moral loopholes like you're suggesting. Are you positive you want to stick with that assessment? 1 Link to comment

Redux Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 32 minutes ago, funhusker said: True. But how many times in the past few years has this board discussed the vote for third parties and how it might as well be a vote for Trump. We will have a 2-party system until we don’t. Until that time that most of us long for, we are stuck with two “viable” candidates. Not taking part in selecting those two and then complaining about choices in the general seems kind of whiny. And that was proven utterly false this go round. A vote for 3rd party is a vote for 3rd party. If one of the main candidates can't earn that vote it's on them. Nobod, and I mean nobody should feel guilted or bullied into voting R or D if they don't want to. If you don't vote for who YOU want, what good is a vote? 1 Link to comment

For President, I don’t think it does. That’s a different conversation about primary/caucus dates. But Senate and other offices it would. Link to comment

But a vote for 3rd party is a vote for 3rd party. Pretending it counts the other way is fear mongering at best. Both sides use that shtick and it's ludicrous, they just want to guilt non partisans into voting their way. 1 Link to comment

He's a right wing twitter personality that has consistently pumped out misinformation about protests all year? And no it doesn't appear to be the same guy at all. The dude in the picture is way lighter than the guy Andy is claiming it is and they don't look that similar in the face either. Thats just me though 1 Link to comment
