    Well, more and more people are pushing back against those thoughts. I’m see lots of people tired of waiting and going for third party this year. And it’s awesome to see!

      Literally throwing away their vote, and helping Trump.

      You cannot have a third party under First Past the Post. It it literally impossible and only aids Trump. So yeah. It’s not awesome to see. It’s aggravating. Because if you advocate for third parties, you’re a stealth Trump supporter pretending to actually care.

        Nah. If I wanted to support Trump, I’d just vote for him. But I didn’t vote for him. I voted third party. Happily! Thank you!

          I applaud you for voting, and for being willing to admit in the Politics Community that you voted third party. Unfortunately this place is so convinced that certain votes are owed to their party that they’ll actually downvote you for saying that you voted for the candidate that best represents your interests.

            Claiming that not voting for Harris means supporting Trump is flawed; using that logic, anyone who isn’t voting for Trump must be supporting Harris.

            Voting for a third-party candidate is a choice to support what aligns with your values, not an automatic endorsement of the opposition.

              Welcome to Plurality voting, advocating for third parties is mathematically indistinguishable from advocating for Trump.

              Stop it unless you want Trump to win, in which case, fuck off.
