I get it. Voting third party is still considered "throwing your vote away." This is a ridiculous mentality, and one we've got to move past.
Right now you have our President, Bernie, and Hillary supporters stating "We can't afford NOT to vote Hillary. This election is about stopping Trump. This is not the time to vote third party."
Well... When will be the time?
In 4 years, we may face another Trump vs. Hillary. What will people say then?
My guess? "We can't afford NOT to vote Hillary. This election is about stopping Trump. This is not the time to vote third party."
How many elections will we continue to say this?
The election shouldn't be about "Who's better? The Conservative or the Liberal?"
It should be: "Who's the best person for the job? Of the multiple options, of all the parties, from Republican to Democrat to Independent to Libertarian to every single party... Who is the best choice?"
The thing is, someday? We will do that.
And when we don't like Choice A and Choice B?
Don't tell me I can't vote for Choice C-Z.
Don't tell me it's a wasted vote.
Don't tell me that I have to abandon my preference. My candidate. The only candidate I believe in.
This election is the perfect time to vote third party.
And if I've done my research, if I have a vehement objection to the two candidates you say I MUST choose between?
Then I think my vote is far from wasted.
