As someone in a swing state, I made the mistake of voting third party once. As much as I'd love to be represented by someone outside the two parties shoved down my throat, the system needs major change before such a vote can actually affect the outcome.

There are so few of you out there. The vast majority of voters under the Electoral College system live in deeply uncontested territory.

There are tens millons of those compared to the tens of thousands of voters living in the select few swing districts of a select few swing states.

Genuinely very annoyed at the guy who sees a Californian or a South Carolinian vote third party and gets mad about it.

Why even bother with democracy if there's only one correct choice on the ballot? Just do a dictatorship already, you cowards.

Ueah I agree, and perhaps I over simplified with my "swing state" statement. My district was ~52% to ~46% in the presidential election. That's close enough for me to stick with the program. The story is even closer for the 2016 one where I voted 3rd party.

Thank you for realizing. I meet too many people who think "protest" is them voting 3rd party.

I put that on par with people I meet who tip $0 or tip 1 cent to make a point and force owners to pay better.
