Literally throwing away their vote, and helping Trump.
You cannot have a third party under First Past the Post. It it literally impossible and only aids Trump. So yeah. It’s not awesome to see. It’s aggravating. Because if you advocate for third parties, you’re a stealth Trump supporter pretending to actually care.
If the Democrats want my vote they are more than welcome to adopt a thing or two from the third parties that split their vote. How else would I communicate my size as a voter bloc and the specific policies we support, and how could I have any sway in any direction if my vote is to be taken for granted?
They seem to understand this when it comes to Republicans… I wonder why it never goes the other way. Seems that kind of strategy would be much more effective as a viable party in winning voters from a non-viable party, and much easier to triangulate, no?
I applaud you for voting, and for being willing to admit
in the Politics Community that you voted third party. Unfortunately this place is so convinced that certain votes are owed to their party that they’ll actually downvote you for saying that you voted for the candidate that best represents your interests.

Nah. If I wanted to support Trump, I’d just vote for him. But I didn’t vote for him. I voted third party. Happily! Thank you!

Thank you. We can’t let the bullies intimidate or pressure us into silence or from doing what we believe is right. Thank you, friend! :)
Why the fuck can’t we worshill for the Christ-Hating Christian Worker’s Party in peace? God-Satanic dammmiiit!
Mathematically you are indeed a a Trump supporter.
Claiming that not voting for Harris means supporting Trump is flawed; using that logic, anyone who isn’t voting for Trump must be supporting Harris.
Voting for a third-party candidate is a choice to support what aligns with your values, not an automatic endorsement of the opposition.
Welcome to Plurality voting, advocating for third parties is mathematically indistinguishable from advocating for Trump.
Stop it unless you want Trump to win, in which case, fuck off.
If I wanted Trump to win, I would have voted for him.
Advocating for third parties is mathematically indistinguishable from advocating for Trump
So yeah, you want Trump to win, because you’ve been Advocating for Third Parties.
I disagree. But I don’t think you should be upset. Trump isn’t going to win anyway.
Lots of disagreement with math on your end.
