[Rhiannon12866]

Is America’s Electoral System SO SCREWED that voting for Cornell West could turn into a vote for Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis or another fascist? Thom Hartmann reveals WHY you can’t always get what you want with a protest vote… - Aired on 08/16/2023.

1. i could vote for west

because it is very unlikely that louisiana's electors will not go for "tfg," no matter what i do.

2. Same here, though I don't think I could force myself. But I'm in a reliably "blue state" (New York)

So I could vote for Mickey Mouse and Joe Biden - or any Democrat - would still carry the state. That's Thom's point, it matters what state you're in, a "protest vote" isn't a good idea if you're in a "swing state."

7. What value

is there in a protest vote? Please explain how throwing away a vote is equal to using it to say something of value? Voting is a serious obligation. Many act as if it is simply something they could do if they don't have any other pressing matters, like a TV program or a trip to a mall...When there is no SOCIAL SECURITY, tell me how a protest vote was a good thing?


BIDEN/HARRIS 2024. Let's finish this!!!!

3. What would be the point of voting for him?

4. West is a clown.

Voting for him is voting for Тяцмр.

5. Thom was only using him as an example to warn about the danger of "protest votes" in swing states...

6. A 3rd party vote

IS a VOTE for tRUMP. Pukes count on this.


BIDEN/HARRIS 2024!!! Let's finish this!
