    If every single Jill Stein voter had voted for Harris instead, Trump still would have won.

      They’re complete fucking idiots throwing away their vote . . . but at least they went to the trouble of voting?

        Voting is always better than not voting, yes.

        And in a functional democratic system, voting for a candidate who’s against genocide would be better than voting for a candidate who’s currently part of the government supplying the genociders.

        Sadly, the US aren’t such a system.
