   I’m hearing that Sullivan staff did report this, but they themselves were passing along info staff they heard and don’t have a confirmed source.

   My neighborhood chat’s consensus seems to be to consider it unconfirmed but still possible, and a reminder to use caution regardless.

   So…don’t know whether it’s true, but we have to act as if it is. Fucking dark is right.

   > First, how is voting for a fringe candidate who cannot win anything or accomplish anything any kind of compromise, let alone a good one?

   Cause who wins or looses will in no way be effected by your vote. So your vote has no more value if you happened to pick the guy who won or the guy who lost, that outcome is the same regardless.

   So since voting for the guy who happens to win accomplished absolutely nothing as well the question is how is voting for a third party candidate, presuming he looses, accomplishing something. Simple, your nudging the percentage points for third parties higher, and the percentage for primary parties lower. This in turn effects botht he calculated (projected) chance of a third party being a challenger int he future, and drives greater support to third parties (as they are harder to write off the higher their percentage points go).

   So in short, while voting for a majority candidate absolutely does no good, even if it wins, voting third party **always** does good regardless of if they win.

   > Second, explain to me exactly how Kamala Harris represents fascism.

   In much the same way the republicans do. With violent exclusionary opposition to even mild criticism of their party. and the fantacism that goes along with that. Combine that with her general support of police and an unwillingness to fix (or even recognize in any meaningful way) the deep rooted issue with police in this country, and combine that with the genocide she supports in palestine the fascism meter is cranked all the way to 11.
