I remember the 2000 Election. There were enough votes for Ralph Nader to hand the election to George W. Bush.
I remember the 2016 Election. There were enough votes for Jill Stein to hand the election to Donald Trump.
In 2024 the Green Party is running Cornell West. Let’s not repeat this history, friends
Your vote is not a marriage. You’re not choosing a life partner. It’s a chess move for what’s best for the country and the world.

Thats a very short sighted view... the way I see it getting a higher vote count for third parties, gives people hope third parties can win, and can break the 2-party system if that trend is carried out... breaking the two-party system is a FAR more promising goal than it is to have one of two shitty people picked year after year to run this country.
@freemo @georgetakei Welp, you're just a baby Jeffrey, third parties are just tantalizing baubles for the idealistic. If we had ranked voting you would be right and we would not have shitty results. Without it the best we can do is tactical voting, aka holding one's nose by voting for the less awful but still possible to win candidate.

Fantasy, but a self-sustaining one simply by the belief in the myth.
