    Thats an interesting way to think of it. I think the complete opposite. I am actually one of the reasons Trump became president in 2016. I wasted my vote and voted third party in a swing state in 2016.

      Voting for who you like, isn’t a wasted vote. It’s the point of voting. The duopoly wants you to be afraid to vote third party. That’s how they stay in power.

      You’re falling for their fear. It’s part of their plan.

      Not me. I’ll keep on voting third party. Every. Single. Time. :)

        Probably not much a point in continuing as we seem to live in different realities here.

        You enjoy losing. Every. Single. Time :)

              Yeah, but the difference is, I don’t mind Trump winning, because you all deserve it for being spinless. So when I lose, I take pride in it because i wasn’t afraid to vote for who I wanted to. :)

              I spent election night laughing.

                    This is such a strange conversation. Do you really think you are some brave soul and everyone else is afraid to vote third party and isnt just being pragmatic?

                    I vote for the dems because they actually have a chance of winning and they are the least bad option. I’m not afraid, not sure why you keep saying that. Thats pretty much the end of it.
