Right, and not voting at all is the surefire way to make third parties happen. Sure.
So, ultimately this whole thing hangs on how possible or likely is making the rise of a significant third party
I vote for 3rd parties, but people say I should vote for the lesser-evil wing of the 2-party-state.
That is because you are effectively throwing your vote away.
Or you don't care or want to give the more evil of the two dominate parties a small advantage while telling yourself you are good. I guess you do you.
Please read my other reply ITT: https://lemmy.world/post/29892234/17151202 .
Thanks, yes, in this case I think it makes sense to vote third party.
I applaud you if you vote 3rd party in local/state elections. But if you're voting 3rd party in a presidential election, you're dumber than the chair you're sitting on right now.
As a Canadian I don't vote in US elections,
but please, tell me why those who voted for Presidential candidates other than Trump or Harris in non-swing states, or who are very much concerned about Palestine, the US military-industrial complex, or IP (i.e. "intellectual property") trolls are dumber than chairs.
