“I’m a moderate dem…” 
“I’m an independent…” 
“I’m a liberal dem…”

Guess what? I’m a R and am voting Biden with enthusiasm. [/quote]

I lean R, but can't vote for Trump, so will vote for RFKJr with enthusiasm.  [b]My best-case outcome is he wins enough electoral college votes to prevent anyone from getting 270, though I doubt that will happen. [/b][/quote]

You realize that the outcome of that will be a Trump presidency, right? The House (even if controlled by Dems) would almost certainly vote for Trump. [/quote]

Yes.  Run a better candidate.  My vote for Kennedy is not an endorsement of anything he stands for, because I don’t expect him to win, and I don't care if he does or doesn’t.   It’s an expression of deep disappointment with both the Ds and Rs for running two tremendously terrible candidates.  [/quote]
“What about me?! I deserve to have everything exactly as I want it! Screw all the people who would be hurt under a GOP regime, screw the end of democracy - I’m [i]disappointed[/i]. No, wait - I’m [i]deeply[/i] disappointed.”[/quote]

Am I supposed to vote in my own best interest?  Or in the interest of others?  I'm confused, because the D posters on here frequently explain that R voters are voting against their interest.  Which I took to mean I should vote in my own best interest.  My own best interest, right now, is joining with what appears to be approx 10% of the country in voting third party as a "none-of-the-above" style vote.  [/quote]

You summed it up perfectly “Run a better candidate” it’s really that simple. They’re just mad because that’s the solution to their  “the sky is falling” problem. Instead, they’ll attack you and those sending a message. You’re the enemy of the day. Do t worry tomorrow it’ll be someone else. [/quote]

What good do you think the message sent will do other than make you feel like you told ‘em. [/quote]

If either the D or R party loses and the consensus opinion within that party is because RFKJr was a spoiler candidate, the “good” it would do is have that party find ways to reach those voters.[/quote]

Did that work when Nader put Bush into the White House?  Did it help our nation ultimately to have GWB in the WH? [/quote]

I see the conundrum for the Democrats.  […]

Enjoy the game. We'll see what happens in November.[/quote]
The Democrats have the big tent. They truly do try to keep everyone happy. The GOP just kicks out all the “RINOs.”

And it is not a game; this is why the GOP is just flat out evil. Democracy is on the line. Every time a Republican is in office, terrible damage is done to the US. [/quote]

The Ds did not and have not acted like democracy was on the line.  Instead, they spent two years trying to pass the social welfare provisions of the BBBA; if democracy were "on the line," those were critical years to backfill with legislation to protect transitions of power.  Instead, the Ds were acting like it was business as usual and it was their time to jam through as much social welfare legislation as they could.

I agree that the Rs have kicked out the RINOs, the types of candidates I might otherwise support.  Ergo . . . I have my protest vote.[/quote]

Are you kidding me? Dems passed the Inflation Reduction Act, Chips and Science Act, Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. Things that America needs because the rest of the world is kicking our butts. [/quote]
