    I’m not a centrist. I’m an informed progressive who leverages my vote to get the closest elector to my ideals that is available. That absolutely results in “settling” to prevent another backslide in policy from a Republican win.

      if you say so.

      And yet you can’t see that humans aren’t numbers.

        I never said humans were numbers. That was your accusation.

        I said elections were about numbers. Ask any political scientist.

            Strategic votes. Not people. If it were an actual representation of people, then Trump would never have been President, having lost the popular vote in 2016.

              Yes, Numbers cast votes in your universe because numbers can be manipulated without putting in as much work.

              If it were an actual representation of people, then Trump would never have been President, having lost the popular vote in 2016.

              Clinton was such a shitty candidate that she didn’t take the electoral college into account and didn’t campaign to all those non-people you despise in the worthless flyover states. They were beneath her because numbers were gonna vote for her instead. Look at how that worked out.
