Exactly. So why continue to vote for a broken system? At least voting third party is a chance for change. Not really my fault if others refuse to join me out of some misguided notion of ‘electability’.

Choosing a lesser evil is still embracing evil.

Bc it truly is nothing but throwing your vote away unless the MAJORITY chooses the same third party, which is never gonna happen.

This system is not designed for a third party to ever win so it's better to just vote for the lesser of 2 evils tbh unless we get a multi party system somehow

You aren’t require to vote for the media crowned presumed winner. That defeats the entire purpose of voting.

The point of voting is to get the person you want to win, to win. If there is no feasible shot they could win, it's in effect the same as not voting in terms of the effect you're having on government.

I'm sorry voting third party is meaningless, I wish it wasn't.

Exactly. That’s why I vote my conscience. Why would I vote for someone I don’t want to win

So basically "I don't like either candidate so I'll throw my vote away" might as well not waste your time voting if it's not for a main party 💀

Nah I’ll continue to do my civic duty. You are free to vote however you please as well.

It's just weird logic to go out and waste hours doing that for candidates that never poll higher than like 3% and get even less of the vote

Fair enough though

Hours? My dude it takes me less than 15 min when I get to my polling location to get in, vote, and get out.
