So how did voting independent fix the Trump "issue"?

2018-10-19 18:29:46 UTC  

actually it hurts everyone and it didnt but at least i voted for change

2018-10-19 18:29:54 UTC  

beats not voting at all

2018-10-19 18:30:04 UTC  

But what have you contributed in real concrete terms, to US politics

2018-10-19 18:30:18 UTC  

What actual change have you made?

2018-10-19 18:30:56 UTC  

dont need to do anything else because everything e;se starts with the vote

2018-10-19 18:31:01 UTC  

Lol

2018-10-19 18:31:17 UTC  

"I voted, and it didn't work, so I'm absolved of any action for the next 4 years"

2018-10-19 18:31:27 UTC  

@Beemann For the third party arguement I'll point to Brexit. It was the UKIP that wanted a ref. They didn't get anywhere near power but still got their one and onnly policy coz the main party was scared of losing.

2018-10-19 18:31:37 UTC  

Third party votes do matter.

2018-10-19 18:31:58 UTC  

For the third party argument I'll point to most Canadian provinces, where 2 parties fight for power and the third gets an opposition seat

2018-10-19 18:32:07 UTC  

2 left wing parties, generally

2018-10-19 18:32:57 UTC  

either way if you dont vote you dont have a right to complain about whos in office becasue you had a chance to change it with your vote

2018-10-19 18:34:00 UTC  

What was your % chance of putting Johnson or Stein in instead of Trump/Hillary?

2018-10-19 18:34:33 UTC  

slim to none but it doesnt matter beats not voting at all

2018-10-19 18:34:52 UTC  

@Beemann It's not about putting a thrid party in power, it's about sending a message to shift the convocation.

2018-10-19 18:35:03 UTC  

and not contributing to society with our most important right

2018-10-19 18:37:24 UTC  

It was none, and what did you shift the conversation to?

2018-10-19 18:37:33 UTC  

Who is talking about Stein or Johnson right now?

2018-10-19 18:37:49 UTC  

you are

2018-10-19 18:38:17 UTC  

i was just using as a example of how to contirbute to voting

2018-10-19 18:38:47 UTC  

my cousin wrote down harambe becuase he didnt like either canidates

2018-10-19 18:38:53 UTC  

but he still voted

2018-10-19 18:39:24 UTC  

That's not a vote

2018-10-19 18:39:34 UTC  

And nobody looks at those, they just get put in a pile

2018-10-19 18:39:41 UTC  

Ignored like non votes

2018-10-19 18:40:02 UTC  

At best you'll get some buzzfeed shit

2018-10-19 18:40:15 UTC  

better then sittting on your ass at home and not voting at all lol

2018-10-19 18:40:25 UTC  

You've failed to explain how

2018-10-19 18:40:30 UTC  

You've just held it as self evident

2018-10-19 18:40:41 UTC  

btw 30 thousand people voted that way

2018-10-19 18:41:09 UTC  

And it makes no difference that they did

2018-10-19 18:41:47 UTC  

It has almost the exact same effect as not voting

2018-10-19 18:41:58 UTC  

and you i have provided plenty you just dont want to hear becuase im guessing you are one of those people who doesnt vote

2018-10-19 18:42:11 UTC  

No, you've just said it's the only way to change things

2018-10-19 18:42:23 UTC  

And then when asked what you changed you backed up to "well at least I voted"

2018-10-19 18:42:54 UTC  

becuase who you vote for puts the changes in place

2018-10-19 18:43:09 UTC  

No, who gets the majority of votes does, and only if they're on the ballot

2018-10-19 18:43:23 UTC  

But you defended spoiled ballots, and losing votes, which don't do that

2018-10-19 18:43:59 UTC  

becuase you are still contributing to the voting process
