    Always vote 3rd party or independent at the local level (after researching) because it’s the only way to change things over time.

      Absolutely. I rarely vote for the majority party candidate, and I’ll often rotate between the minority (Dem in my case) and third parties/independents depending on the candidate.

      I’m not in a swing state, so I have the benefit of always feeling like I can always vote my conscience instead of picking the lesser of two evils. However, that should ideally be the case everywhere, so we really need voting reform so you can always vote your conscience without worrying about “a vote for X is a vote for Y” nonsense.

      ALWAYS do your research.

      Nothing pisses me off more than a party voter who votes “because they know what’s best for me.”(quote from my dad, btw.) Unless you own a fortune 500 company, no they fucking don’t…
