YOU CONTROL WHO GETS ENOUGH VOTES.

If every person that doomerposts about how no one else could get enough votes ACTUALLY JUST VOTED third party, then that third party would win, barring elector shenanigans.

No. The electoral college determines who gets the most votes.

There's literally no candidate besides trump and Harris who are on ballots in enough states to win the election.

This is not a hypothetical.

Even if we had Gordon Bombay and literally baby Jesus just brought back to life as those candidates.

There are only two candidates for president registered and on ballots in enough states to mathematically wing the US presidency.

Literally any vote that isn't for one of them is at most a protest vote that means as much as leaving it blank.

I get it, I know it sucks, but one month before the election that's the way it is.

The chance for anyone else has passed, were lucky it's not still Biden.
