( Comments for Policy of Truth ) Comment on Whether, How, and Why I Plan to Vote by Irfan Khawaja
Though I voted for Stein (and am in favor of people’s voting for Stein), strictly speaking, I don’t see my post as a case for Stein. I see it as an attempt to clarify the price of voting for Harris. It’s one thing (however debatable)…
