Remember a vote for third party is avote for ::checks notes:: whoever you dont want to win apparently.

Funny how it changes based on whoever will convince you most to support a 2-party system. Nah the most important vote is one against a 2-party system.

@freemo Well, if you can convince me that the 3rd party pulls 27% of the Republicans and 27% of the Democrats, I'll go along for the ride. But I don't know how you would convince me of that though.

@Pjcoyle Cant imagine why you would need to be convinced of it.

If we were voting on what to eat for dinner, and the top two choices are wet shit and slightly less wet shit, are you going to vote for one of the wet shits or you going to vote for the pasta?

I'd vote for the pasta for one reason, my top concern would be to not eat shit. So even if i thought my vote would loose I'd still vote for it just to strengthen the third party vote so allt he morons voting for shit despite no one liking shit, might realize there is a chance for something other than shit even if it lost last election but happened to get a higher percentage than it might normally, giving hope for future elections.

Seems completely idiotic to just in unison go "lets all vote for shit cause its what everyone did last time". when really your just taking the same idiotic logic everyone else took which is the **only** reason the logic plays out.

@freemo But this isn't making choices for my dinner. It is contributing to the decision on who gets a chance to destroy civilization. If a third-party has no chance to win then a vote for the TP, no matter how symbolic (and I have played the symboic game a time or two) is the same as not voting.
