      third parties are irrelevant.

      Then you have nothing to fear, nor do you have anything to be annoyed about, when it comes to the existence of 3rd parties and the voting for 3rd parties.

          Yet, you do seem to care enough to have a conversation about it, and interact in this community thread about it. So I guess you care a little bit.

              Making fun of you is something I do care about.

              Reported for breaking civility rule of this community. If you disagree with me, that’s fine. But bragging about making fun of me is not. Be civil or please refrain from posting.

                The horror.

                If you actually cared about making third parties viable, you’d think rationally and act locally to get ranked-choice voting or similar initiatives off the ground, and not just screech about national elections where they have no chance. You’re not doing anything of substance and are thus ripe for ridicule.

                  I do. What makes you think I haven’t been involved in those. Also the Green Party is on the ballet in my state, and I have worked for both goals.

                  and not just screech about national elections where they have no chance.

                  I’m not just screeching. I’m voting.

                  Are you saying we should ONLY vote for people who are going to win? That’s not very democratic, now is it?

                  You’re not doing anything of substance and are thus ripe for ridicule.

                  Ridicule me all you want. I, and many of my friends, are voting Green Party this election. Proudly. Brah, I have Jill Stein bumper stickers on my car. I’m proud of it.

                  You should probably accept that.

                    Protest vote all you want. The reality is that in our electoral system, you’re doing nothing, with the possible exception of siphoning a vote away from a viable candidate whom you more closely align with.

                    Proudly display your irrational actions, brah. Everyone is very impressed.
