      Its sarcasm. All the theatre about voting third party doesn’t make sense because people could shut up and do that if they feel they want to make a change. The loud noise is most likely coming from people trying to derail one candidate or the other.

        The point is to scare one of the main candidates to not support a genocide, so doing it silently would be against that. Tbh, it’s also the same reason I think a lot of them are bluffing and will end up voting for one of the main two instead.

          You’re giving them way too much credit, it’s about siphoning votes and nothing else. That is, among other reasons, why RFK joined the Trump campaign when the polls showed he was mostly taking votes from Trump.

            That might be why the candidates are running, but it’s not why people are voting for them. You haven’t seemed to have applied any empathy or gone into the mind of a third party voter at all, especially in this election, which is a different situation because of the ongoing genocide.
