@mtaibbi @BretWeinstein That’s you wearing the tricorne, at the back, yes? Bret Weinstein basically said (unless I misunderstood) that voting Blue is unacceptable, which I’m cool with, but saying that voting Red is the solution to that problem just does not make sense to me. Other side of the same coin.

@mtaibbi My apologies. I may have misconstrued what I saw, but in this pic, that @BretWeinstein shared about ‘rescue the republic’ and your name was on it. And there is Trump, leading the boat, with RFK, etc. So I hope you can see why I assumed you were voting for him.

@mtaibbi Hi Matt - Always been a follower of yours, but am I understanding correctly that you are voting for trump because you can’t bring yourself to vote blue? If so, how does it fix anything to vote for one half of the broken two-party system? Wish you would go 3rd party instead.
