    If you are going to throw away a vote why even bother going to the polls? Just stay home and make some popcorn and watch a show or something. 3rd party can’t win on a federal level at this point so it’s wasted time and effort from just staying home.

      The only thing wasted is the belief that we should just lie down and accept the two-party stranglehold choking out every hope for real change!

      Staying home only lets the elites keep their power unchallenged, while throwing a vote for a third party sends a message that we won’t be puppets for their corrupt, corporate machine.

      Every so-called “wasted” vote is another strike against their monopoly on power, and the true waste would be surrendering our voices without a fight!

      I’m not voting for Jill Stein, but I am proudly voting Socialist Workers Party.

        The only thing that’s wasted is engagement when it comes to you. All you can do is argue strawmen. And keep banging the drum on your long debunked duopoly talking point.

        Every so called wasted vote, is mathematically and statistically wasted. Skewing the election more in favor of the fascists at a national level. All while their concerns are still ignored. As they been for the last 2.5 centuries.

          Not debunked. It’s just that YOU don’t like it.

          Guess what? I’m not the only one voting third party and denying the Duopoly a vote, comrade.

          I support your rights to your opinion. I just don’t share that opinion. :)

            I don’t like the Electoral College and first pass the post voting you’re right. But it is debunked. There is no duopoly. Mathematically because of first past the post voting and electoral College I’ll be there again no chance of third parties having a positive impact on a national election like the presidency. And you can’t prove otherwise. That’s all that matters.

              You’re definitely entitled to your opinions. But I’m happily voting for third party this election.

                They do say ignorance is bliss. So I believe you.

                  Ignorance is bliss—for the duopoly! They’re counting on people like you to stay blind and complacent while they keep rigging the game. But when we wake up and refuse to play along, their little paradise of control comes crashing down.

                  Enjoy your bliss while it lasts—it’s exactly what keeps them in power!
