It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?

      That would be fine, if that’s what was happening, but it’s not. The commentor that i responded to, as well as the article that we are all responding to, use this “hypothetical” situation where third party voters all prefer Harris over Trump to justify a chastisement of those third party votes. There is no basis for this assumption presented in the article or within the comments in this thread.

      E: added the word “be” to the 1st sentence.

        If you just don’t understand the concept of hypotheticals, you may be on the spectrum, fyi

          Don’t use being on the spectrum as an insult. It is unbecoming.

          I don’t think hypothetical means what you think it means. Either that or you are misunderstanding or misrepresenting what the article is arguing.

          The article is implies that 3rd party voters are all Harris > Trump voters if it came down to a choice between the two. That is not a hypothetical, that is an unsubstantianted assumption.

            It’s not an insult, I’m being serious. The hypothetical is the vote totals given in the comment you responded to. In that hypothetical scenario, voting for your perfect candidate gets your least favorite candidate elected. You seem unable to consider it as a standalone scenario that may or may not be similar to real life voter tallies. That’s a common indicator of neurodivergence.
