11. Are you seriously saying: "I'm saying that if ALL Black and ALL white people voted for Kanye..."

How can you even conceive of such a notion? Shouldn't you clarify that? Black people are not voting for West. We know he's nuts and a trumper who is allowing himself to be used by trump. We are the most pragmatic voters and aren't stupid enough to fall for that as we are interested in getting rid of trump, not waste our vote on some 3rd part nut. And I doubt white Dems are that stupid either. Now some repugs may be, but if they vote for Kanye, so what? That means fewer votes for trump.

And further more, he missed the deadline to get on the ballot in several states and signatures on his petitions are getting scrutiny for maybe not being genuine.

A candidate who has bi-polar episodes and breaks into crying jags on stage and files just three months before the election is not going to have much impact. Certainly not what Putin and the Russkies had in 2016.

You're forgetting history. If you think we've got this wrapped up, this is how we fail. ancianita Aug 2020 #3

The GOTV isn't the point. The rigging is. I hope you're right, because I'm depressed as hell. ancianita Aug 2020 #7

I'm not saying that and you're missing my point. ancianita Aug 2020 #4

What is with your use of "notion"? Do you not SEE machine vote count rigging? ancianita Aug 2020 #15

Good luck with that. The third party thing is nowhere near what it was last time... brush Aug 2020 #34

Wait, you actually bought some of his music? panader0 Aug 2020 #23

Don't make my OP about me. You deliberately miss the OP point by doing that. It's not right. ancianita Aug 2020 #25

You made the statement that you liked his music and his "aesthetic", panader0 Aug 2020 #26

No. I admit that in a political context, my musical taste would never guide my politics. ancianita Aug 2020 #27
