    No, I’m simply reiterating the realities of today. The electoral college in all but 2 states as I last recalled awards all the state’s electors to whomever wins the simple majority in a state. If things where exactly 50/50 today and these protesting groups siphoned away votes specifically from Biden then you now hand Trump the state. It works the other way too.

    Now if somehow these people siphoned an equal amount from both parties it becomes a wash and irrelevant, but since it’s a specifically anti-Biden effort that’s not likely the case.

      Yes, but you’re only telling this to progressives and leftists despite having near zero input on policy while giving moderates and liberals a free pass while they enjoy full control of all policy decisions.

        I would tell the same to anyone who cares to not see a second Trump term regardless of ideology. I’m no more fond of the modern D party than anyone, but it beats the alternative.

          No you’re not. That’s the point. You aren’t lecturing moderates and liberals for refusing to make material compromises with leftists and progressives. You know as well as I do the only reason they’re voting for Biden is because he’s catered to them. Again, you are holding leftists and progressives to a different standard.
