      It doesn’t make you a Trump supporter. For many it just makes them principled. There’s no need to gaslight people because you don’t agree with them.

        It makes you a Trump supporter because your actions make it easier for Trump to win.

        Blame the 2 party system, but them’s the brakes.

        If you really oppose “BiDeN’s gENoCiDe” why play political games?

        Why not take direct action, it seems to be the virtue signaled by all the tankies supporting trump?

          I personally think Biden is a better choice. Even genocidal vegetable Biden.

          If I was one of them I’d like to think I would. I certainly think it’s a failing on their part if they don’t all own an AK.

          All I’m saying is that people can take a principled stance not to vote or to vote like a moron, and there’s no reason to be toxic or abusive about it.

          I vote third party and against incumbents. Third parties need ballot access and the largest issue facing us is first past the post right now. We’re in a cycle of abuse with our current political parties, and it needs to end.

        No, as said: I’m not talking about ideology.

        Ideologically they might be principled. But practically they make it easier for Trump to win than if they’d recognize the real implications of the fucked up US voting system and vote for the lesser evil. And making it easier for a candidate to win is effectively support.
