It seemed like he was saying that you guys recognize his flaws and, despite them, there is little that he could do that would make you not support him (not voting for him in Texas is a likely meaningless move and at least one of you have stated that they WILL vote for him if it seems close).

1) He's not remotely suggesting that we don't know his flaws. His example provided a very specific one... that he'd shot someone. That's a ridiculous assertion given his questions. He's clearly suggesting that we ignore them... that we turn a blind eye to them... that we support him while ignoring (being blind to) his obvious flaws, including in this case, being a murderer. Your distinction here makes zero sense in context.... and is a pedantic correction at best.

2) You all support a party who has OPENLY solicited people to vote 'AGAINST' Trump (by not writing in your preferred candidate but instead voting for Biden). I find it ridiculous that your party is openly doing that, and your complaint about the right is that somehow people who voted 3rd party in the last election MIGHT under some very specific circumstances, do the same? I find that highly hypocritical.

3) In 2016, I was not in Texas... but I suspect some of you are... So your vote is just as meaningful or meaningless as numbers. Not trying to draw Big into this, but he's in LA... so also meaningless. Even though it's meaningless for you as well, it seems you're still going to vote for Biden, even though he's not your first choice.... while numbers and I won't.... and yet somehow, we're the issue by voting our concious, and you're not by voting for someone you don't really support? Seriously, that's your argument?

No, I'm not saying you turn a blind eye to his faults - you're making that up.

I'm saying that some here (OO really) have said they would vote for him, REGARDLESS of those faults.

Calling me a liar, sheesh.
