Again, you’re skipping the question and throwing out meaningless catchphrases.

Why would I want to build parties that are already built when my goal is to topple the existing ones and replace them with ones that are younger and hungrier for change?

Farting in the wind by voting a third party presidential candidate isn’t going to do that.

I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to say here but i directly answered why I wouldn’t vote for a democrat at the top of the ticket. Because I don’t support their policy positions.

What are the meaningless catchphrases?

What did you mean by your sentence in the middle there about building parties? I read it a few different times but couldn’t tell what you were trying to say.

As I said before, way up at the top of our replies, there are real effects that come from voting for a third party candidate, although I appreciate the phrasing given out usernames.

Voting third party down ballot builds third parties.

Democrats and Republicans have already built their parties so why would you need to help build them?

Voting for a presidential candidate is a choice, Trump or Harris directly or indirectly.

Voting down ballot is voting for change.

Please limit the amount of questions per comment, it’s hard to keep it all straight and feels like gish galloping.

I don’t know what Gish galloping is. Would you prefer I hit you with three comments to something you write in order to ask three questions?

Voting for a third party for president also builds that third party and is voting for change as well. I find that pretty hard to refute considering it’s literally measurable.

I will not vote for trump or Harris.

I dont intend to help build democrat or republican parties.
