You've spent your entire life believing in the idea that there are only 2 options.

Since grade school, you were propagandized into picking the better of two evils (who always, ALWAYS, favor the MIC).

There is a big enough movement (from not only lefties, but also people who do not like Trump) to win a 3rd party seat and implement ranked-choice voting going forward.

If you think we get ranked choice with a D or an R candidate, you are sorely mistaken, and THATS the point.

Who is your third party star ? And a source? You’re not trying to manipulate people into throwing away their vote are you?

Edit: Typical, lying, deceitful trumpers

I think they’ve just drunk a little too much koolaid, but yeah, the intent makes no difference for the rest of us.

I just checked the profile and it’s all either FUD about Biden (personally, I still might vote third party [don't @ me, I’ve still got time to think, and the state of the debate here is stressful], so I’m not inherently opposed to Biden doubt) or pro-China. I’m also relatively pro-China, in the sense that I believe it’s a country that largely tends to the needs of a majority of its citizens (with a considerable failure rate, but I honestly don’t think the Chinese government is less ethical than the US government, which is not exactly high praise), and I don’t think they’re likely to invade the US or Europe anytime soon, which seems to make me more pro-China than most around me.

So I guess what I’m saying, is that if it seems like propaganda to me, who is pretty sympathetic to these views, it probably is.
