Republicans know they cannot go above 46-47% in popular vote, and cannot win what is essentially a two-person race with that support. A Republican nominee has received above 48% only once after 1988 (GW Bush in 2004). Only way to win the EC without PV win is for third party candidates to get support in key battleground states like Nader in 2000 and Johnson-Stein in 2016.

MODERATORS
Those of us that voted for Nader and Stein never would have voted for your shitty candidates. To begin with, your entire premise is based on the liberal 'spoiler vote' which is 100% myth. There could be zero third party candidates on the ballot and we still would not vote for a republican or a Democrat because we are not Republicans or Democrats.
We get it, you are MAGA and want Donald in there.
Refer everyone back to where I said vote for Trump
We are in the comments section of an article where Donald is hoping people will vote exactly as you do. So you're a MAGA. You are on here every day urging people to vote. Campaigning for Donald.
Poor attempt at a false dichotomy. and binary thinking
It's not a false dichotomy, you don't understand what that term means. You're just literally urging for the same things as Donald does. That is because you are a MAGA.
False dichotomy with 'you are either with us or against us.'
BlueMAGA are as clueless and uninformed as MAGA
"BlueMAGA" is fascist astroturfing terminology.
You're a fascist.
You're not fooling anyone here.
BlueMAGA is the reality of Democrats. They're just this batshit insane as MAGA Republicans.
BlueMAGA isn't out supplanting reality... Well... for the MOST part they aren't supplanting reality. The worst they do is call Biden "the most consequential President ever!" which is patently false.
They aren't the ones claiming JFK and JFK Jr. are alive and coming back any day now, or that the Obamas and the Clintons are imprisoned in Guantanamo, or that Biden has been replaced with a lookalike which is an ENTIRELY different level of batshit crazy.
You are trying to conflate MAGA and the QAnon freaks.
