Remember how Putin “endorsed” Kamala Harris?

Know how Tankies are really fucking stupid?

Do the math.

Why not? The post is more likely to drive leftists away from the Democrats than towards them. Maybe these Russians have stopped posing leftists who are trying to convince other leftists not to vote Democrat and instead are posing as centrists in order to alienate leftists. There’s just as much evidence for that theory as there is for any of the other baseless accusations of Russian trolling I’ve seen here.

Technically, there can be a difference, but only if you are a Trump supporter

Wrong. One is exactly twice as bad as the other.

One is way better than the other if you’re a Trump supporter!

Mathematically, it’s still exactly one half as bad as bad to not vote than to vote for the Republican party, regardless of who you are. A vote Republican swings the count 2 points relative to voting Democrat. No vote, 1 point relative to voting Democrat.

Blanket statements don’t work. How each state allocates votes to electoral college votes varies, and each states political leaning varies.

There are times when not voting or voting third party effectively has no effect or the opposite effect.

These oversimplified takes are tiring and pathetic.

Get better arguments.

Ideally just get proportional representation with something like ranked choice voting and make it possible for 3rd party votes to count for something.

Yeah, you get on that. Go get those changed. Since you make it sound so simple.

Explain how voting third party could have the “opposite effect”. Opposite of what?

In some places it can be seen as helping one candidate, in other places it can be seen as helping the other. The country isn’t the same everywhere. Some states lean different ways and so it all depends what your vote is countering.

Oh my God an image macro posted to the political memes board doesn’t have 60 pages of nuanced footnotes explaining how if you’re in Nebraska then your voting system works differently I’m going to literally shit my own pants out of rage
