    That’s 100% right, voting for who you want to is not pretending, but thinking it will do something that it won’t, absolutely is.

    I’m sorry if I came across as bullying, that wasn’t my intention. You totally have the fundamental right to vote for whoever you want, it doesn’t matter what I think at all. I just feel strongly that people should have the most information possible about how our system works, because casting a vote for your preferred candidate, doesn’t mean that candidate necessarily benefits from your vote.

      Agreed. But I also think that the only way to change the system is to be the change we wanna see. So I am voting for the candidate I want to win. Regardless of odds. I’m voting for who i want to win, based on policies I believe in. And this year it’s Jill Stein who aligns closest to my values.

        Well I respect the sentiment, and honestly wish you the best of luck. I personally think you’re making a mistake that could be quite costly, but like I said above, it’s your right.

          Thank you. I personally think that who you are voting for is a mistake as well. But I feel very strongly that it is your right, and best of luck to you as well.
