    Both of the people you named commit genocide. Voting for them means you endorse genocide. I fail to see how percentages are relevant here.

      The vote is to elect a president. If you are not going to vote for someone who has a chance of winning, what is the point of voting at all?

      I will happily vote for a third party candidate that has a chance of winning. I have asked for a name many times and have yet to be given one.

        I live in a state that is not even close to be competitive. Why should I not vote for the Green Party candidate?

        The Greens have a 99% chance of winning if everyone stops acting like Biden is holding a gun against their heads to prevent them from voting differently.

          I see, so if something that is almost certainly not going to happen happens, a Green candidate who you have not named has a 99% chance of beating Trump.

          That’s not what I asked. I didn’t ask for special, very unlikely circumstances.

          Name the third party candidate who has a good chance of winning as things stand now. Just give me a name.

            Biden doesn’t have a good chance of beating Trump either lmao. I’d give him 20% max.

              Your wild guess percentages based on zero evidence are not a name. You still have not given me a name. Who am I supposed to vote for if you won’t even give me a name?

                  I asked for a name that has a reasonable chance of beating both Trump and Biden. I see that West has 2% support. That is not a reasonable chance, so that name is not the name I asked for.

                  Also, you have contradicted yourself, because Cornel West is not a Green party candidate. Therefore, based on your previous post, he won’t have that (evidence-free) 99% chance of winning.

                  Odd that this name for a candidate that can win is so hard for you to come up with.

                    Donald Trump. he has a high percentage chance to win.

                    That’s what you’re looking for right? Someone with a high win percentage?

                    Or are you looking for someone that endorses your views with a win percentage? I hear Joe Biden endorses Genocide, do you endorse genocide?

          “candidate X would easily win if everybody voted for them”

          No shit, now who are they and how do you propose convincing people to vote for them?
