Rob Reiner: a vote for No Labels, Bobby Kennedy, Cornel West or Jill Stein is a vote for Trump

That’s how our system works best. You choose based on the effect your vote will have.

Exactly. If you do not do that, you are not in control of the effect of your vote.

It is not hard to understand. Trump or Biden will win. Unless you are brain addled to the point that you have no ability to differentiate between those two, you should use your vote to try to deny the election to the one you want to eliminate.

Vote for Biden. Country over party.

This is shitty confirmation bias and almost nothing else. Obviously, you have a ridiculously high opinion of yourself, but that’s all a result of fooling yourself into thinking it’s so simple. This is a society with serious problems, they won’t be easily solved.

Lol this may be true, but Rob Reiner ain’t it.

Why not?

I mean I guess if Rob Reiner is your barometer for who you should vote for in an election, have at it.

What is your problem with Rob Reiner exactly? He’s just as self made as Trump except he’s much more massively successful than his parents, and he’s talented.

I don’t have a problem with Rob Reiner but of all the people whose opinions I would consider when deciding who to vote for, he would not make the list. I get it, you find him credible because his opinions align with yours. I just don’t think Rob Reiner is a powerful citation for why undecided voters should vote a certain way.

He’s not telling anyone whom to vote for, he’s telling them the fact that third party votes may hurt the major candidate they prefer.

He's explaining the impact of their vote. If you do not want Trump, then there's only one candidate who can beat him. And that's Biden.

Rob Reiner's quote is accurate.

Vote for whoever you like best in the primaries or don't vote at all if you're not so inclined. But, come the general election, staying home or voting for anyone other than the Democratic candidate (Biden) is support for the corruption, violence and/or fascism that will come with a second Trump term.

Marianne Williamson shouldn't be wasting time running. Dems should be promoting Biden, not attacking his record. Biden has brought competent administration and believes in the democratic process. But some are upset that he hasn't magically turned America into a land of sunshine and rainbows in one term.

A lot of us have a hard time with those of you who pretend Biden lacks serious negatives. It seems you devalue much of the electorate…

You’re not choosing a spouse, you’re picking which bus to get on. The Biden bus is a bit old but the Trump bus is on fire and headed into hell. Choose wisely.

Republicans don’t think. Republicans tribe. There’s no further examination taking place. You can ask them a direct question and they scatter.

In normal times, this is always true. We are in unprecedented times in which two historically unpopular candidates continue to maintain as overwhelming favorites to become the major party nominees. In normal times, these unpopular candidates would have zero chance of becoming party nominees because, due to their lack of popularity, they'd have no chance at winning the general election against an average/normal candidate from the other party. In this case, the two unpopular candidates both appear to have close to a 50/50 chance of winning in the general election for one reason and one reason only; because they're competition is as undesirable as they are. The major parties seem content at this point to not rock the boat by trying force them off the ticket. If Trump or Biden were forced off the ticket or chose to back out, the other would have to back out as well to give their party chance. What does all this mean? Assuming Trump and Biden do become the major party nominees, there is more of a chance now than ever before for a 3rd party candidate to seriously contend. It would need to be a well known and well respected 3rd party candidate in order to become an immediate contender and as of now that 3rd party candidate doesn't exist. If this viable 3rd party candidate does surface, look out. It would shake the foundation of our two party system and it would make for some stressful times at the RNC and DNC but that foundation needs to be shaken and our major parties need a wake up call in the worst of ways. If that viable 3rd party candidate never surfaces and Trump and Biden become the nominees, any votes for the currently running 3rd party candidates will be inconsequential or could help or hurt one candidate more than the other but it's impossible to say for sure how that would play out at this point in time.
