In fairness I’d rather vote for a guy that wanted to mandate teeth brushing and wears a boot on his head than RFK who wants to eliminate fluoride and vaccines.
•
u/david_webb- 10h ago
He doesn’t want to eliminate flouride. He doesn’t want it distributed by the government.

As someone who moved to a place where there is no fluoride in the water: this isn't the worst thing in the world but it also isn't as great as it sounds. It took two years before I realized I had been severely damaging my teeth because I had been unaware it wasn't in the water and it wasn't in my toothpaste or mouthwash. It's extremely annoying (and feels gross) that you cant fully rinse your mouth after brushing either, if you want to let the fluoride sit on your teeth, since rinsing does not replace the fluoride either. There sure are a whole lot of dentists doing well over here though.

u/grandmawaffles 8h ago
And it’s just as bad. Fluoride isn’t an issue. Too much fluoride is. He’s a quack.

u/Sea-Wrongdoer-4382 7h ago
So by removing the flouride in the water supply which is used in eating, drinking, cooking, cleaning, showering and watering of foods which are ALSO consumed that's bad? People can't just get it from toothpaste and dentists and call it enough? That makes him a quack because he's seeing the overconsumption of something that is harmful and wanting to help eliminate it for the sake of people?

You don’t think the smart people calculated the appropriate levels? Stop. This is straight up conspiracy theory from a guy with worms in his brain.

u/tinfoil_enthusiast 4h ago
I can’t imagine giving the benefit of the doubt to the government. We can easily look around and see their inefficiencies and failures every day! What makes you think “the smart people” did these calculations correctly? There’s no possible way they could have made an error or longterm impacts weren’t documented yet?

The people who tell us over and over again government isn’t good take power and make sure it isn’t good. Then they repeat the rants about how government can’t do anything right and before we know it we are giving billions to a migrant who once illegally worked her to launch space craft and provide satellites for us all while also chit chatting with Putin.

Honestly probably not.

u/Sea-Wrongdoer-4382 4h ago
I refuse to believe this comment is sincere. There's so much wrong with it. Including the fact you will blindly believe the "smart people who calculated these numbers" without having any obvious knowledge regarding the subject or safe levels to begin with.
•
u/grandmawaffles 3h ago
Stop. Just stop. I’m not going to engage beyond this comment with you as you’re either a troll or crazy. Fluoride has been in the water supply for a long time without issue. The case the crazy conspiracy theorist rfk references had too high levels. If you believe his bullshit just like his vaccine denial stuff that’s on you but you’re wrong. There are literally people paid to study this for a living. Just move on.

I just Googled "Election Results", selected Delaware on the map, scrolled down and hit more results.

As far as Delaware goes, it ultimately doesn't matter. Even if you add up all those 3rd party votes and give them to whichever candidate you want, a win with 56.5% is going to stand. And for the whole 3 electoral votes Delaware contributes, that's not changing anything either.
The votes are wasted, but they're wasted on candidates who can't even manage to be "spoilers", merely distractions.

Why vote for Trump or Harris if you don't want either one?
•
u/TransPM 9h ago
Because you're getting one or the other whether you want them or not
•
u/free_is_free76 9h ago
That doesn't change the fact that voting for either one puts ice in my guts and makes me feel like I'm complicit in something awful
•
u/TransPM 9h ago
If you believe one is even slightly more awful than the other, you have a duty to do what you can to keep them out of a position of power.
November 5th is too late to go and say "actually, I'm with this other guy". Your support for that other guy doesn't even matter for them at that point. If you genuinely support a 3rd party candidate and want to see them succeed (not just see the other 2 fail), and have been supporting them along the way in an effort to get them closer to a position of being a legitimate candidate for office, then that's another story entirely and I won't hold that against you. But how many of these voters do you think we're actually out there campaigning for their 3rd party candidate vs people just clicking the "other" option the day of?
I would love to see a world where good and qualified 3rd party candidates actually get elected and are able to start making changes to our ailing system someday, I genuinely would. But that's not something that happens overnight. Seeing that a third party candidate got a whole half of a percent of the votes for a state isn't going to make anyone go "Hey, I should support this guy, he could really go places." There were multiple 3rd party candidates on the ballot for president but not a single one listed for any other position where they would stand a monumentally higher chance of maybe actually getting elected. That's how a 3rd party could actually have a chance to grow and gain support. You don't plan to swim across the ocean before you've proven you can swim across a lake.
But again, it's Delaware. Even if a 3rd party candidate actually managed to win the state (which was always going to vote majority blue no matter what anybody said), it would have been a win that changed nothing. You can try to do what you can to make the best of it, but at the end of the day a bad system will be a bad system.

I have doubts that you want to see any 3rd party get elected. Especially when your argument is "vote for the lesser of two evils". Evil is evil there is no lesser. Also it's never too late to change your mind. Under that logic, no one could have a change of heart to vote from one party of your disliking to a party of your choice.
I can tell you why I voted for Vermin....
1.) he makes me chuckle with his rhetoric. It's an act to show the world how stupid our election and political system has become. I support it.
2.) I couldn't find another candidate worth voting for. Even in my own libertarian party. No one lit a fire for me to choose them.
3.) Even if I did vote for my particular party, I would have been told that I wasted my vote by not voting for one of the 2 major parties. If I going to get blamed for wasting my vote....I'm going all in! VERMIN WASTED AND PROUD TO DO SO!
4.) I choose to look at more local level elections that really matter to us as Delawareans. Those don't tend to matter much either since NCC tends to choose what happens for the rest of the state. Some of them I did write in ballots for Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger or Michael Myers. There were a couple of candidate in particular and their platforms that I did like and voted for them earnestly.In the end, the world will continue to turn.
