Nah, you’re just being rude and taking offense to being asked to justify your behavior.

That’s because the question is not only entirely unrelated to the task at hand, it is a thought-terminating cliché that I refuse to take seriously.
The concept of “election spoilers” is designed to keep people from engaging with politics that lie outside the range of acceptable discourse dictated by the two-party system.
Now that anti-genocide politics is no longer acceptable to the two party system, it’s long past time to stop taking the establishment seriously when it threatens you to support it or else.
I’ll be happy to tell you once you explain to me why you think it’s important for you to know.
Apparently, it’s just “early voting turnout is good”
The “unifying strength” of fascism is it’s enforcement of a hierarchy, and Trump’s supporters hate losers more than anyone else. When he loses, they are going to blame everyone but especially the “moderate” anti-Trump republicans. They’ll destroy their own party trying to root out the unfaithful.
They do have something to hate more, their own loser selves after they fail to install Trump.
Allow me to reiterate in case you missed it the first time:
If you plan to wait until you can vote for them in an election then you’re missing the point.
The democracy you’re looking for is built from the bottom up, starting with your coworkers.
The first vote you should be concerned with is a card check election to unionize your workplace.
I predicted this back in 2015 when the Democrats started openly conspiring against Bernie. If the 2024 dem incumbent dropped out, not only would Trump lose, but his loss will split the party and the infighting will destroy it.
By the time the union party exists the Republicans will have already collapsed into irrelevance.
Stop looking for excuses not to help before then.
Same answer, smaller scale.
Doesn’t matter, even if I lived in a swing state, this election was decided months ago when Biden dropped out.
Don’t worry, when the Republican party falls apart after Trump loses and the Democrats are the pro-fracking, pro-genocide right wing party there will be space for the union movement to assemble a new left coalition.
Me, personally?
I’m going to help the union movement build a new left because I don’t think the Democrat party is worth saving.
Realistically, we’re going to have to demand the impossible if we want to solve climate change and half a dozen other major existential issues.
They had two years of majority in both houses under Biden where they could have added justices to the bench.
First you have to deal with the electoral college and FTTP voting, then the laws on the books, which means electing third party representatives who are willing to support changing the laws.
Apologies for paraphrasing you, but the system isn’t set up to support that either.
That said, It’s going to be happening a lot anyway in 2026 now that the Republican party is coming apart at the seams and the remaining “moderates” are jumping ship. I’m looking forward to the new left wing coalition, it’s going to be such a wonderful mess.
The democrats have openly refused to pack the courts. How are they supposed to campaign if they don’t have Republicans to threaten us with?
Are you kidding? Election day is a week away and an election clerk in San Antonio already got punched for telling somebody to take off his MAGA hat. I’m surprised nobody’s been shot already.
