Half this country (80 million people) "How many? Eight million illegal immigrants and counting? Eight freaking million complete strangers! Why are we allowing this? This is insanity!"
Only 8 million border crossers are freaking complete strangers to you? You know the other 330 million of us?

If the vast majority of them were given and cleared a basic background check and then given amnesty -tomorrow-, would that resolve the issue for you? Why or why not?

So Kish’s point is obviously a sold one. The hypotheticals are bizarre.

Well, I’m glad you won’t be voting for Trump then. But, half this country is, because they don’t care about handing the most powerful office in the land back to him.

Independent or not, you'll still vote for the party that you just said you're disgusted with and "Eff 'em." So your actual vote isn't independent at all, whatever you choose to call yourself.
Yeah, because I vote for individuals, not parties. If I could vote to put Mitt Romney or Liz Cheney into an appropriate office today, I would make sure to do so. In the right circumstances, especially in more local offices, I would prefer to vote non-duopoly. Saying independent simply means I do not belong to a party, it is not some label of pride that makes me obligated to meet YOUR approval.

What is this business about 8 million strangers? Are we talking about unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud? I don’t follow this topic closely.

Right, but the individual you’ll vote for belongs to the party that disgusts you and about which you’ll say “eff ‘em.” So clearly you’re nowhere near disgusted enough to actually do anything about that which disgusts you.

Shades, stop being an ass. I am not here to meet your standards. You don’t know what I will or will not do in response to my disgust, and I am not obliged to tell you. What the eff are you going to do about anything except sit in judgment of others?

If I had a big audience, I would tell every Democrat in office that they either support the candidate who won the primaries, or they get voted out of office. It takes a loud voice to make a dent. That is the kind of thing that should go viral.

Did you, or did you not, say that you will vote for whomever has the best chance of beating Trump—which is the Democratic candidate, whomever it is, and no matter how disgusted you are with them?

Vote for the candidate of a party that doesn’t disgust me.

Yeah, Shades. I will vote for Biden. Of the three people at the forefront of the race, he is the least bad option, and that includes Worms for Brains Kennedy.

Or, I could write in Biden if they manage to toss him out and see Trump win.
