There is no way a third-party candidate wins in our system. It's simply not possible and to vote for one is to split the party vote. Look what happened with the Bull-Moose party. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1912_United_States_presidential_election The rules haven't changed since so this is all you could expect from trying to get people to switch. You'd hand it over to Trump.
Right, and that is why I'm not saying to vote for a third party.
I am saying don't vote.
Stop humoring a broken system.
That's not a solution and the same result as voting for a third party. No one in America is going to care that you didn't vote.
