    There are only two choices WHO CAN WIN.

    Stein can’t win, the Greens don’t have the power and have NEVER had the power. Their best shot was Nader with name recognition and he couldn’t crack 3%.

    Without Nader the very best they have done was 1.07% in 2016. Other than that? Sub 1% over, and over.

    The Libertarian candidate could have pulled it out if disaffected Republicans had become Libertarians instead of Independents. Pro-Tip - they have not.

    Kennedy’s out.

    The idiot socialist isn’t even on the ballot in enough states to win.

    West is on the ballot in fewer states than that.

    I agree, I’d love for our system to have multiple VIABLE parties, but we don’t. Your choice is the Democratic or Republican candidate, full stop.

    If you want to change that, you aren’t going to do it by voting for fringe candidates who will get 1% of the vote or less.

    The correct way to change it is to pass ranked choice balloting. If you have a chance to support that (we did, on our ballot!) then go for it!

      It’s clear from this sentence alone that you are completely ignoring the comment to which you are responding.

        The comment I’m responding to is attempting to change the subject.

        The winner of the Presidential race will be either Harris or Trump. There is no other viable choice.
