Yes, but you will vote for one with no chance, just so you can say you didn't
vote for the winner.

I don't feel the obligation to waste my vote on someone I don't like
just so I might be able to say "I won".
I vote for someone I believe in and so I can look myself in the
mirror.

Of course that is your right (and priviledge) as a citizen in a
constitutional democracy. But what if it turns out that one of the
two candidates you don't like is doing everything possible to
circumvent and undermine the constitution? What if that same
candidate has demonstrated a lack of intellectual capacity to
understand basic science, and disrepects experts in the field of
medecine? What if that same person openly supports neo-nazis and
white supremicist groups?

In my mind it should be a top priority to get that person out of
office before more damage is done.


Who are you talking about?
I have a hard time thinking of a president who didn't stretch the
Constitution to the breaking point. (maybe Carter)

The mask thing isn't medicine, it is politics and feel good mandates.

But again, no matter how many times it is pointed out that masks do work, you will still be spouting mis-information that they somehow don't.

Are you sure that you're not a CNN reporter?
