    Which is it, do you not understand FPTP voting, do you think that voting for a third party candiate at the presidential level will convince anyone who is not already a member of the green party to switch, or are you really this dense?

    We could have an entirely separate conversation about why the Green Party in specific sucks, not least because the candidate they put forward thinks vaccines cause autism, but if you can’t be convinced that voting third party doesn’t do anything I don’t want to talk to you anymore at all.

    If your next response is less than three sentences long I’m going to block you.

    What DE are you using? Different DEs handle VNC differently if you’re using Wayland as opposed to X11.

    Also, what exactly don’t you know that you would need to know to run the server without a GUI? If you already know how to SSH and start the server that way (or better idea – create a systemd service for it (I can show you how to do that)) and you just need to launch the server without a head attached, just modify your startup script to do java -jar minecraft_whatever_server.jar nogui. If you want to run Minecraft commands from the server console while headless, you can type them directly into the terminal while the server is running. If you set up the Minecraft server with systemd, you won’t have a terminal, so I’d recommend using Rcon/mcrcon instead. It’s built into the vanilla server and not too tough to set up. I’ll show you how if you like.

    If all else fails, of course, there’s always the low-tech solution: Amazon sells “HDMI dummy plugs”, dongles that plug into an HDMI port and pretend there’s a monitor connected. If you’re anything like me, though, that solution won’t satisfy you, so I’m here to help if you need help getting some combination of the above working.

    I do criticize Biden. I have also written three paragraphs in this thread already about why a third party winning the presidency is impossible, and thus voting for Biden is necessary to prevent Trump taking office. Good to see leftists are just as incapable of defending their positions as always.

    Voting third party is great at the local level. Voting third party at the national level when they don’t already have a hold anywhere else does not even grow the party. It just wastes your vote.

    I do tire of conversing with trolls.

    I came up with a ridiculous, hyperbolic example that would still result in a victory for Trump to demonstrate that no amount of effort from third party voters would sway the election, even if they could all agree on who the best third party candidate was. Apparently hardcore leftists are so dense you thought I was saying it could actually happen.

    But thank you for your honesty. Please, support your third party candidate. I’d love to see them grow, truly. But I sincerely hope you don’t think they actually have a chance, not while the people who operate the DNC are breathing.

    It’s also completely impossible. A campaign that could convince two thirds of Biden voters to switch would shatter every record for a grassroots campaign (heck, even a corporate backed campaign) that had ever been set, by orders of magnitude. You are not going to convince a statistically significant number of people to switch their vote, especially not between now and November.

    I also feel like you’re missing the part where even if you DID accomplish that, Trump would still win the presidency! If you vote third party you might as well not vote!

    Especially given how slim the win margins were in 2020 and 2016, I’m not convinced that Biden will win if we don’t all vote for him. I hate the DNC as much as anyone else does, but if you don’t want a person who openly plans to abuse his Presidential powers to punish his opponents for daring to prosecute him for a crime he committed, you only have one choice.
