    I mean… I don’t see eye to eye with the man on certain things either but… Do you think Trump is going to do better when it comes to fossil fuels? He’s going to fight for the environment harder?

        Those are our options. He’s saying make sure you know what you’re getting into if you vote for Biden…

            Yes a third party candidate winning would be nice. But do you think this election, when we risk having Trump again, is the year to try to divide the votes like that? When, we both know, they’re zero chance in hell of a third party candidate winning anytime soon?

            Maybe down the road we’ll get there. But right now the only actual choices are Trump and Biden. That’s just the world we live in. I’m not happy with it either, just like I wasn’t happy with having to pick Clinton or Trump.

              i didn’t vote for biden in 2012 or 2020. i won’t be doing it this year. if you’re worried about dividing the vote, you should help me decide whether we’re voting for jill stein or cornel west.

                I’m sorry but you live in a land of delusion. That’s just not happening this time. We’re not there yet. And you posting slightly snarky comments on a very tiny website like this isn’t what’s going to turn the tide and turn this into a third party country.

                We only have two options. I’m not happy with it either but that’s where we are.

                  I know you’re planning on splitting the vote by voting for the conservative instead of a leftist, but I’m not calling you delusional. I’m certainly not lying about how many people are on the ballot.

      Isn’t one of his stated campaign promises literally “drill, drill, drill, baby!”
