Please see the sticky in the sub, this is a pro-vote movement to maximize blue representation for those who may not even vote because they are turned off by joe biden, including electing Joe Biden himself.

the strategy is to decrease Trump's chances of winning by having a robust and contained protest vote in deep blue states, people in swing states may not feel as helpless for voting for Biden. If people in swing states are aware that there is a broader movement in deep blue states, this may give swing state voters more clarity in voting for Biden.

Protest votes are stupid, that's how Trump got elected in 2016 because people didn't want to vote for Hillary. It's either Trump or Biden this election.

No it's not. Hillary won the popular vote. The electoral college screwed her. She took the rust belt for granted (ignoring the reality of the EC). If you gave all the 3rd party votes to HRC she still would have lost. She was also a deeply unpopular candidate with 30 years of baggage but was the announced one of the DNC.

Trump is the easiest candidate to be and if dems lose to him bc they run the guy finding a genocide, with abysmal approval ratings who cant beat a 91 frlony indicted racist and misogynistic life long con man, they deserve to lose. He's kept people off primary ballots, and is screeching again about saving democracy. He hasn't kept his campaign promises and is actively funding a genocide. Remember when he said he'd only run once? Yeah, so do we.

He's putting his Zionism and fealty to Bibi and Israel's murderous fascist Zionist regime over his own base and country. Fuck that guy.

I'm not sure how to respond to this comment without repeating my previous comment, but the overall aspiration is get more votes for Biden in swing states.

I misunderstood, I get what that movement is trying to do. If it means more progressives in deep blue states without increasing Trumps chance at the Whitehouse, I'm all for it.

Yeah the hope is that democrats in swing states will see that there's a broader movement in other places, and may not feel guilty about voting for Biden.

You're funneling votes to third parties.

Only in deep blue states, so that people in swing states might have less conflict about voting for Biden.

Considering both of my comments got this heavily copy/pasted response

...Because you said the same thing?

part of a Russian post farm

....Russians much prefer Trump over Biden...Biden is who we are trying to get elected.

Trump would smite Palestine off the face of the earth so, at least the issue would be resolved!!
