    Oh certainly, but if you vote for her you’re not participating in the election. I absolutely wish we had a ranked choice elector system (well I’d actually prefer a parliamentary system where we didn’t actually vote for an executive and instead one was chosen by the majority of the house)… but we don’t. If you vote for Jill Stein you aren’t advocating for a green policy in America, you’re refusing to make a choice between Biden and Trump and accepting responsibility for whoever gets elected.

      I’m not responsible for the people who vote for a candidate I don’t support.

        Here’s the thing, you’re an adult now. You have to choose between A and B, it fucking sucks but you have to do it. If you instead choose to refuse to vote in a meaningful way you’re surrendering your decision to fate and, effectively, removing your vote from whoever you detest less thus gifting a vote to the candidate you detest more.

        Life is full of hard choices and this is one of them, please do vote for an actual candidate and make your voice heard.
