  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.

    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.

  So the average voter is very easily influenced by online bot farms, that tracks.

  As someone who lives in a deep red state and an even redder district, voting third party is about all I got. Supporting people over party is what I care about. Maybe if I lived in a purple or blue area my mind would be different, but that’s not the hand I’m dealt.

    As someone who lives in a deep red state and an even redder district, voting third party is about all I got.

    For a long while, down in the beating heart of Tom DeLay’s Houston suburbs, the Libertarians were the second party. Democrats regularly failed to make it onto the ballot (for… reasons).

    Supporting people over party is what I care about.

    Absolutely. Although that’s got nothing to do with voting.

      What I meant by the last part was I voted for the person that represented what I wanted instead of voting for the party. Every single time the person I want is a third party option. If the Dems ran a presidential candidate that I liked more than any other option or if the ones in my state put up a Senator or Congressman that wasn’t just a conservative that didn’t hate unions and stood for what I stand for, I’d happily vote for them. I don’t see any of this actually ever happening even in primaries.

      In a two party system each vote is strategic. If you vote for a third party you risk the worst candidate winning.

  I respect these people more. Not because of who they voted for but because they aren’t ‘Always Vote Blue/Red’. People don’t get that career politician are there to help themselves first. DONT VOTE FOR THE PARTY, VOTE FOR THE PERSON.

    At least she voted. I’d take that over the “we’ve tried nothing and we’re out of ideas” crowd.
