Title
No. Vote Biden.
UPDATE: Vote Harris!*
If you can spare the time or money, volunteer and donate to the campaign in places they can actually win.
EDIT: Also, vote Democrat if there are any other elections going on at the same time. If Trump does win, the only chance of holding him to any kind of account is to have as many Democrats in positions of power as possible.
Sincerely, someone who can’t vote in your elections but still lives with the knock-on effects!
*EDIT 2: Absolute necro-editing to change this to say Vote Harris.
No. What? No! In what world does this make any sense? The only way your vote for RFK could possibly “take away” a vote from Trump, is if you were going to vote for Trump but changed your mind.
Your vote doesn’t affect the vote count of the other candidates…
If you want Biden to win vote for Biden. Jesus fucking Christ.
Gaming primaries is a ~potentially valid~ idea but in what world do you think voting for the other candidate in a winner-takes-all election would help your desired candidate win?
I mean statistically in a state THAT red your there will never be enough blue votes to overcome the stupidity of the rural class, so it may not matter. Still voting for the off brand inside a 2 party system is a very bad habit to encourage. Just vote for Biden.
Georgia proved that wrong last election. Imagine if out of nowhere Texas voted blue due to all the abortion bans, Republicans would shit themselves.
Well, the largest group in Texas is Latinos… idk how many of them can vote and how mant would actually vote blue though.
America will always be a 2 party system. But a different party could replace one of the existing parties.
If that were the case anymore, it would’ve happened after the 1912 election when Theodore Roosevelt’s Progressive party got more votes (27.4%) and electors (88) than the Republican Taft (23.2% of the vote and 8 electors). But it didn’t. Things went back to normal after that. That was also the election where the Socialist party gained the most votes (6% of the vote and 0 electors).
The Republicans and Democrats are here to stay until our voting system is overhauled.
No, that’s not how it works. It would be the same as not voting at all, since RFK has no chance of winning.
Vote for Biden if you want to stop Trump.
It depends on the state. If it’s a purple state or a state where they do ranked-choice voting, then this is right and a vote for Biden is helpful.
If OP is in a solid red state, he can vote for any alternative candidate and it won’t matter which alt candidate he chooses since Trump will already have it locked up.
The only asterisk is if abortion is on the ballot as a statewide measure. That can take a red state (like Kentucky) and turn out enough voters to temporarily make it blue.
I guarantee you Biden will outperform RFK in every state, including Wyoming and Missippi.
Voting for RFK helps him pass the threshold for federal party funding and effectively gives money to a nut.
Sounds like you support the 2-party state. Same shit coin, just different sides.
How does it feel to always be the smartest person in the room?
They wouldn’t know
the answer you are looking for the opportunity has already passed this year but is useful in the next election.
What you ate looking for is to vote tactically. Vote republican in the in the primary and choose weak republican candidates then vote democratic in the general.
