People are apparently voting based on not who they really like, but who they hate.

People are voting for Biden for the sole purpose that Trump deserves not a second term. People literally believe that voting for 3rd party = voting for trump because it is pulling away the biden votes but when asked who the best possible candidate is, their answer is someone that is non-trump and non-biden.

Yes, Biden is not the best president possible(although he is a bit better than the one we have here), but people believe that voting for 3rd party is a waste. If all of them believe that, then we won't get the best president possible. If we all promise to make a change voting for 3rd party, then that they might be a president, maximised goodness. We should not be voting based on who we hate, but who we really want.

Instant runoff voting is the solution.

But if we don't vote for a lizard, the wrong lizard might win!

Not this time though.

Then again, Biden is better than Trump.

Personally I'd rather vote for Trump, but as I like my family liking me, I'll probably vote for a third party.

Silent majority.

As long as you don't vote by mail, nobody is going to know who you voted for.

I 'could do that, but I like talking about who I voted for, though I 'could lie I suppose.
I'd rather not lie about who I voted for, and I don't 'dislike the idea of third parties gaining 'some more influence.

You are the most conservative person I have possibly met. For me it is Jorgensen. Biden can only be called the lesser of the two evils. He is basically nothing compared to FDR or even Obama.
