  • If it takes three paragraphs and your specific voting location to explain why your vote “technically” won’t go to 45, maybe those people are right. The problem is that there are a LOT of people that don’t understand the nuance and we have to plan for the lowest common denominator, otherwise people in actual swing states will see posts like your first one (lacking any explanation) and run with it. For them, a third party vote actually is helping 45.

    Additionally, there’s a decent argument to be made about total votes even though they don’t “technically” decide the president. That number still matters and a lot of weight is thrown around with it. For all we know, this whole thing could hit the courts and having every advantage may be necessary to save our future.

    Whichever way instances decide to go there’s a few things people should remember:

    • We’re lucky to have this option even if it’s divisive at times.
    • It’s not always about what we know will happen, sometimes it’s concern over possibilities we couldn’t even imagine at the time.
    • Growth is great but there’s infrastructure, moderators and policies that can be overwhelmed.
    • Defederation can be reversed at any time if things change.
