    You are a coward to down play this genocide simply because its not happening in your back yard.

    That’s not what I’m saying. All genocide is horrible and should not exist regardless of location. What I am saying is that the genocide will happen regardless of who you vote for, which makes it a foolish thing to base your vote on rather than things that will be different.

    What if everyone telling me to vote lesser of two evils, voted independent?

    Then the independent would still lose, by a very large margin, because 99%+ of the voting population has never communicated with you or even knows you exist.

    As for “What if a majority of voters voted Independent?” Might as well ask “What if people stopped being hateful bigots?” It will never happen, and pretending it will rather than working with what’s within realistic possibility will accomplish even less.

      I’m not the guy who came up with voting for 3rd party. Lmao. Wtf.

      OK. But you are the person who is refusing to vote any other way. People won’t vote 3rd party because they think like YOU.

      You are the problem. In this scenario you would be the hateful bigot who refuse to change…
