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.
