    If you can write out the math where I, voting 3rd party, add a vote to Trump’s tally, and I will personally give you one billion dollars.

      The thinking is that 3rd party votes will lessen the amount of votes Biden gets, thus allowing Trump to win.

      You aren’t actually adding a vote to Trump’s tally, you are subtracting one from Biden.

      Most of the Independents I know skew towards the Republican side anyway, so I’m just a little inclined to think a 3rd party vote will actually subtract from Trump’s tally, but I’m just a little old blue lady down in Louisiana, so what do I know?

        Nobody in my very conservative family is happy w/ Trump OR Biden.

        If they decided to go 3rd party, are they also voting for Biden? For Trump? They’ve committed voter fraud? Wait what?

          I can’t even imagine how that is your take-away from my comment. If your very conservative family vote 3rd party, they are voting 3rd party. Not for Biden or Trump.

          My comment is attempting to point out that 3rd party votes are going to have a consequence.

      Lol. Trump is a fascist and has about a 35% ceiling for fascist voters in the US. Any vote you take away from his ONLY competition (in this case Biden) moves him one vote closer to victory. Keep your (nonexistent) money imbecile.
