    Blaming anyone that voted third party is one of the most tiresome, braindead, selfish opinions.

    It’s also mathematically ignorant. If Harris received every single third party vote excluding RFK Jr’s, even if you include Libertarians who are more right-leaning, she still would’ve lost.

      That is like saying that because nobody dies from measles, it is mathematically ignorant to support vaccines.

      Yes, the Republicans haven’t won an election because of third party voters since Nader handed the win to Bush in 2000. But that is because people have been smart enough since then to not throw their vote away. Burned by fire.

      [Harris] still would’ve lost.

      That is probably the stupidest argument I have heard this week. And I have heard a lot of stupid arguments.

      Harris didn’t dance naked through Washington wearing only a clown nose, but Harris still would’ve lost if she did that. By your argument, there is no reason for politicians not to dance naked through Washington wearing only a clown nose…
