Because in this particular election a throw away third party vote is a vote for trump, and you know that, it's exactly why so many Republicans are going public with their support for Biden. If you're a moderate Republican you are much closer to Biden's platform than I am, as dax has clinically pointed out over and over again. I am actually registered to a third party that stands to benefit from getting my vote that isn't coming this year.

I don't want to vote for Biden, but I've been given no choice. We are in an unprecedented time in America. We're bordering on authoritarianism. We had a president threatening to send armed police officers to patrol polling places. We have a department of education attempting to divert public tax dollars that should be used for pandemic relief, to private schools. We have federal law enforcement circumventing local authorities in providing law enforcement in local jurisdictions. On and on and on.

If your aren't voting affirmatively to end this, you're voting for it to continue, trump even said so himself earlier this week. "Never in American history has the choice been so clear."

I've found that people inclined to vote for a 3rd party are not swayed by that argument at all.

I think all liberals, which I don't think DQ12 is, should vote Biden if for no other reason than Ruth Bader Ginsburg will likely not make it another 4 years.

We’re more than bordering on authoritarianism. The White House was used as a political prop for the first time in history last night.

For any incumbent President participating in any political convention, your tax dollars would be used for political purposes, you dumbass.   The political parties aren't going to pay for the security details etc. etc.

I’m not gonna argue with you about this because it’s like talking to a wall but the White House is the people’s house. It’s never held anything like what happened last night before. So quit acting like this was some normal thing because it’s not. Carry on with the high step salute parade to Trump on everything tho.

And you know, you, and your perpetually enraged friends (all because Hillary lost) would have had a total melt down if they had done that at an outside venue.   Your mad about something all the time.

If you're looking for authoritarianism in this country, then you need to start in a number of Dem controlled gub offices.

If you also need to find anarchy facilitation, you can start looking in multiple Dem controlled gub offices and mayoral offices.

When you're mad about everything for 3.5 years (because a mega corrupt war mongering racist lost an election) then at some point the broad brush fits the equation.

I disagree with the premise that anything other than a vote for trump constitutes “a vote for trump.”  Particularly when trump is trailing by a sizable margin in every poll.  Put simply, I think for trump to win, he would need people generally aligning with my beliefs to vote for him.  So no, I think by voting for someone else (or not voting), I would not actually or effectively be voting for Trump.

And I can’t in good conscience cast a vote for Biden.  I know this isn’t popular and will prompt eye-rolls, but his views on abortion are a nonstarter for me.

That's fair. Two questions.
1. Do you not vote for anyone who isn't advocating for overturning Roe v. Wade? I don't think there Biden is campaigning for additional abortion rights, he seems to be very moderate on this issue.
2. Who did you vote for president in '16?

If that is the case, I don't believe you will find a candidate for president who will push to outlaw and limit abortion more than Trump.  So a vote for someone other than Trump doesn't make sense to me at all.

Roe v Wade was 47 years ago.  Have we not had a Republican President and Republican control of Congress at any point during that time? Weird if true.

Overturning of Roe v. Wade literally will never happen. A president not congress can touch it, the Supreme Court has spoken. What can happen is that a highly partisan highly conservative court, willing to ignore precedence, can punch holes in abortion rights, but the outlawing of abortion will literally never happen. Politicians that say that it is are pandering to the lowest information voters o.a.t. and are taking advantage of religious fanatics.

I think there is a distinction between voting for the candidate you most support and voting against a candidate you most despise. In 2016 I voted for Gary Johnson because I thought he was the best option available and wasn’t even sure whether Trump or Hillary would be worse for the country.

This year I am positive that 4 more years of Trump would be a disaster. Not that my vote would have made a difference in 2016 but I do feel a little guilty that Trump winning allowed him to totally botch our coronavirus response and separate immigrant children from their parents as a deterrent to seeking asylum.

I would love if Trump’s opponent checked more boxes for me, but in my mind there is only one way to vote my conscience in this election. Biden is an underwhelming candidate, but the fact Democrats agreed to put forward their most moderate option for this election says a lot.

I vote for someone who generally shares (or close to “shares”) my view on abortion. That’s generally a prerequisite. I get what you’re suggesting about Roe being decided and the impracticality of my stance, and I don’t really have a good answer.  I suppose it’s similar to people advocating against certain gun rights, despite the Supreme Court precedent.  Just a sticking point for me, and I get that people think it’s nuts.

I think I wrote in Kasich or something stupid.  I’ve never voted for Trump, notwithstanding his very strong pro-life position.  If any of this sounds hypocritical or contradictory then join the club.

She's my favorite Trump.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/27/politics/melania-trump-ivanka-trump-wolkoff-book/index.html

Sounds like they have always hated each other.  Ivanka wants the spotlight next to her dad.  I did not know that reaction above happened, but when I was watching clips and I saw Ivanka walk up on stage when they arrived I immediately thought about the above article I just linked.  The reaction from Melania confirms that.  I think Melania wants out of everything (her relationship with DJamer-Trump, White House, etc.) but is too scared to be upfront about it.

Also DJT is only anti-abortion because he knows it is a passionate topic for his voters.  Anyone with half a brain knows he has paid for a few baby scrapings in his life.  Homeboy is all about that pro-choice behind the scenes.
