    voter suppression and voting are not the same thing.

    a vote for third parties is as valid as a vote for a primary color.

      That’s why a big portion of the funding for parties or candidates that pull from the political left in the US are extremely wealthy conservatives, right?

          The Dread Pirate Roberts tells Vizzini “Truely, you have a dizzying intellect.”

            probably your vantage point.

            it’s funny how confused you guys get from concise, direct answers.

              Someone baselessly gainsaying something I’ve said isn’t confusing in the slightest. And what I said is really easy to verify or refute.

              Though I was perhaps not specific enough when I said strictly “funding” as that can be interpreted as strictly the money a candidate gets in direct donations instead of including paying all the moving parts of a candidate’s run including PACs, et al. that cover legal fees and organization.

                “…isn’t confusing in the slightest.”

                of course, you’re one of those dizzy-headed people that think super clearly.

                your comments are starting to make more sense.

                “Though I was perhaps not specific enough…”

                certainly.

                “as that can be interpreted as strictly the money…”

                still irrelevant to voting being valid regardless of the party you vote for, but have fun.

                I like tangents.

      Except when the votes literally aren’t counted.

        that would be voter suppression.

        which, yes, is the same thing as voter suppression.
