Nah, I'll just tell you you've got a weird obsession if Harris wins, and rightfully point out that you led us to getting Project 2025 with your dumb vote if Trump wins.

But wait, you said said you think I will disappear after election day. What did you mean by that?

And now you're saying I won't. Hmmm, what did you originally mean?

And my single vote is why Trump would win? Really?! If I really wanted him to win, wouldn't I just vote for him directly rather than vote for a third party?!

I do think you'll disappear after election day. If you're smart and you lose, you should disappear after election day, because we will point out once again, that like the past 59 elections, Third Parties won zip and accomplished zip. But I see you're looking forward to proving me wrong, and all you have to do is like tag me or some such shit, at which point, I'll call you a loser and/or a jerk and be done with it, even if the mods remove that post. You see, Mr. IMMA VOTE THIRD PARTY HUR!, my job is to only counter your bull until the election. Once it's done, I'm done with you, at least until the next election comes up and you start doing Putin's and Trump's (or whoever replaces him, hopefully) again. I could literally block you the day after the election and nothing of value would be lost at that point. The only reason I entertain you now is I don't want anyone buying your bullcrap here. Debunking your constant spew is a full time job, though, which is why I don't respond to everything you post.

Oh yeah, and I forgot to address the Trump thing. You see, if all you did was vote Third Party, I couldn't actually call you out because that would be your little secret. But you're not just planning to vote Third Party. You're here and presumably other places literally spewing out one post ever 18 or so minutes day in and day out screaming how Third Parties are good. Your third party vote is roughly 1/20,000 of the end result in a swing state. But peddling the BS that you can vote Third Party without concern? That could convince a lot of people. I'm trying to do my part to counter (not shut down, counter) your bull so that people in a close swing state won't subject everyone in this country, including my Black bisexual pagan goth wife, to Project 2025...

I will never be friends with people who want to subject me and people I care about to Project 2025...
