In the last 48 hours:

-26 emails relating to the election.
-5 more from campaigns outside the presidential one.

Voting Gold sounds like a very good idea right now. The Libertarian party desperately needs whatever the percentage is for funding or whatever it is they would get this time around.
 
Many young men see supporting Trump/ right wing ideals as macho/manly, hence more “cool”.

Not voting for Biden or Trump would greatly improve politics in the US.
Riiiight, it’s not like a third party candidate has any chance of winning the presidency, nor are third parties deliberately set up to fail in the US. Bernie Sanders’ values are far off from those of the democratic establishment and even implied that he would have ran as an independent but didn’t because he’d have more of a shot if he ran as a Democrat.
 
You're gonna go there now? It was a joke. If you're being serious you need to re-evaluate yourself as a functioning member of society.
Who the hell are you to tell me to re-evalute myself as a functioning member of society? You can get somewhere with that crap man!
 
If you don't understand this after the amount of posts that have explained this, just here on GTP alone, there is no point for me to do it again. It just won't register with you.

And the same goes for you, @GranTurNismo.
Sorry for not following every single post on every single topic. I was simply trying to have a conversation.

Triggered much? :lol:

The two party system is broken. It has been broken for at least the last 2 decades, if not significantly longer. I know plenty of people who voted for Trump because they do not like the extreme left that's starting to take hold in the Democratic party AND because Clinton was a polarizing figure. Guess what? 4 years later and they can easily rationalize the same decision. The extreme left is growing and Biden might not be noticeably better than Clinton/may not be fit for the position (ignoring the fact of Trump not being fit for the position).

Not sure what you’re on about here. Biden is a typical establishment Democrat and slightly to the right of Clinton. There’s nothing “left” about him or his platform. On a political compass, he’s authoritarian right just like Trumpy and much of the other establishment democrats. At best, a Biden presidency would be a continuation of Obama’s.

Okay, I understand.

You don't vote for either one of the white haired dementors for your future. Giving 3rd parties a vote is a chance for change in the future. Coming elections have 2 main candidates that will not help your country in any way. Voting for Biden because he isn't Trump isn't a valid reason. Voting for Trump because he isn't Biden isn't a valid reason. Voting 3rd party because you want actual chance in the US politics is a valid reason though.

I didn't say Biden was left, I said the party has significantly moved further left.

I agree with you there, but the views of the many Democrats especially younger ones have also shifted left. A growing number of Americans support a single payer healthcare option, tuition-free public college, swift climate action, legalization of marijuana, universal childcare, and politicians who aren’t sold out to what I call the “Big Four” which would be Wall Street, the fossil fuel industry, big pharma, and healthcare companies. A centrist platform would be far less likely to address these issues than a more leftist one.
 
For what? I thought this was just "some gaming forum". You're taking things way too seriously :)
Too bad I didn't say that. So I don't know what that has to do with me.
I might, but you don't know what I've been through or did, you don't know what I went through to get myself to where I am now.
To tell me to re-evalute myself is a slap in the face!
I might not agree with people but I don't tell them to reevaluate their lives as a functioning member of society.
If you don't see that as rude you've earned yourself a spot with the orange texted one.
 
Really? That's the thing you decide to take seriously on here? It was just wording. If you have an issue with women, then yea you need to think about that because being a sexist is wrong.

This would have been a lot easier if you just said you were joking around and kept your true feelings to yourself.

I don't know where you got the idea I have an issue with women. I have an issue with such a high percentage of women willing to vote for someone on video MULTIPLE times touching kids in what I consider an inappropriate manner.
And don't bring up Trump, I've already stated here I'm not voting for him again after his comments about Mad Dog Mattis.

And thanks for telling me where to keep my feelings... I'm so glad I have sirs orders to follow...
 
Got any good suggestions?

Anybody else

We do have other parties, and other potential candidates within the main parties. Unfortunately, most people are stuck with this 2 candidate mindset. The media doesn't help. The 2 main parties have become too comfortable in their seats, and now we're witnessing in your face corruption and the response is underwhelming.
