I was asking what any of that has to do with the two party system
It's completely delusional to vote for a third party candidate in the US election system. The chance of winning is 0%. It won't happen. Absolutely impossible. The only thing it does is strengthen the candidate with the more committed voter base or in other words: the republican candidate.
If you had ranked choice voting or the president was elected by a parliament that is elected by proportional vote like in most of Europe, that wouldn't be a problem. It's not like that though. If you vote third party in the US, all you accomplish is making a Trump victory more likely.
Wow it's almost like Russian bots are directly relevant to the topic of Voter Suppression and there are more reasons to vote for Biden than wanting to perpetuate a genocide. Inconceivable!
Are you telling me lobbying is legal in the US?
Say it ain't so! /s
You mean taking money from an ally is different from taking money from an enemy?
Say it ain't so! /s
Yes, Isreal is lobbying the U.S. government and that's bad. It's also entirely irrelevant to the discussion.
