Clif, when you say "nobody can know the future, but one does know which candidate one wants to see in office," if you think there was any possibility in the universe that Stein might win, and that neither Harris nor Trump would, I think you're kidding yourself. Imagine it this way: Stein is by far your first choice, but either Harris or Trump is your distant second choice. So you vote for Stein, because she's the one you'd like to see in office. Stein gets a small collection of votes in your state, and either Harris or Trump wins by one vote. And your second choice was not the one who won. Had you voted for Harris or Trump, whichever one lost by one vote, there would have been a tie, which would have been resolved by some method. Are you still glad you voted for Stein, and handed your state to the candidate who might win, at the cost of the other candidate who might win, and whom you would have preferred to the one you got?

As for naming military bases for Confederates, I always wonder if Republicans think Russian streets should be named for Stalin, or German streets for Hitler, or Iraqi streets for Sadam Hussein? Donnie claims to have no respect for losers, but he likes Confederates? (Of course he does like insurrectionists, so maybe he's willing to ignore the fact that they were losers.)

I don't understand why anyone, except very rich people who want to get richer for some reason, would vote for Trump. Many of those red arrows are reportedly Hispanics, who don't seem to know what Donnie claims to think of immigrants, and what he'd like to do to them. And if he forgets, he'll have Stephen Miller up his ass.
