    lUkE sHoUlD eArN mY vOtE!!! You won’t shame me into voting for him! I don’t care if Vader wins - not my fault! Lalalalala not listening! Down with the duopoly! We will just become ungovernable! Anyone else here voting for Lando?

    There did I hit all the points? U••••••••M••• or L•••••B••• want to chime in and let me know if I missed anything?





  • No. Critical thinking skills preclude even entertaining the notion of voting third party, because critical thinking skills would lead one to comprehend how FPTP and the EC work, and realize the all-but-guaranteed mathematical impossibility of electing a third party president.

    Anyone who proudly proclaims to vote third party is one of the following, without exception:

    • an uninformed idealist, aka a useful idiot
    • a bad actor
    • an entitled jackass with zero disregard for the effects of their actions

    In any of these cases, I wouldn’t trust these people with a butter knife let alone a ballot. But that’s not my call, so I call them out for what they are.
