        I agree that it’s dumb to vote their party in the presidential election and think that will change things. But the presidential election is not the only election. You have local ones that you have a much greater say in, have much more potential influence over, and where you can start to make a difference and where working to get a third party in (or better yet, change the voting system to make it not tend towards two parties) is your best bet, and the poster has a point.

              Who is your third party star ? And a source? You’re not trying to manipulate people into throwing away their vote are you?

              Edit: Typical, lying, deceitful trumpers

                I think they’ve just drunk a little too much koolaid, but yeah, the intent makes no difference for the rest of us.

                I just checked the profile and it’s all either FUD about Biden (personally, I still might vote third party [don’t @ me, I’ve still got time to think, and the state of the debate here is stressful], so I’m not inherently opposed to Biden doubt) or pro-China. I’m also relatively pro-China, in the sense that I believe it’s a country that largely tends to the needs of a majority of its citizens (with a considerable failure rate, but I honestly don’t think the Chinese government is less ethical than the US government, which is not exactly high praise), and I don’t think they’re likely to invade the US or Europe anytime soon, which seems to make me more pro-China than most around me.

                So I guess what I’m saying, is that if it seems like propaganda to me, who is pretty sympathetic to these views, it probably is.
