Really you don’t need to read more than one chart:

If you vote for anyone other than Harris, you’re voting for Trump:

    Oh really? I don’t really get how your system works I guess lol. Cos I thought if he drops out he’s out. So he’s still running against Trump in some states basically? I would have thought he’d be taking votes from the right rather than the left though. But I probably just don’t understand your system properly tbf.

      He tried to remove himself from the ballot in multiple states and was told “LOL - yeah, no.”

      There are deadlines due to having to print the ballots, once you’re past a certain point, there’s no going back.

        Ahh ok haha well that’s good at least. I can’t see any left leaning would-be democrat voters voting for the guy who dumped the carcass of a bear in… I wanna say… Central Park?

        I love that they’re like “paper doesn’t grow on trees dude, we ain’t wasting anymore”.

        I don’t really understand why these independents bother. Do they really think they’re gonna turn 3% (being generous) into 51%?? I don’t think so. I wonder if there’s some ulterior motive in play, like to just get their name out there and then with that name recognition, get elected into a much lower down position at state level.

            Hahah literally what is the point!? Well like I say. Probably is about name recognition otherwise why bother.

            Either that or Jill is retired and bored/senile… isn’t Jill the same name as Biden’s wife actually? Hahah. Maybe it’s Biden in a wig. Who can say?
