Jill Stein!
By the way, the debates aren't completely over. Next Tuesday on freeandequal.org will be the second debate between the 3rd party candidates. Yesterday was the first, which featured the top 4 (watch the whole things here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDqkenIayAI). There's a runoff vote happening on the website to narrow it down to 2 candidates for next week. Judging by the audience's reactions, it'll be Jill Stein and Gary Johnson.
The top 2 candidates are a complete joke, in my opinion. Nothing will change with either of them in office. |
The top 2 may be a joke, but one of them will be president. Voting for one of this years 3rd parties is essentially abstaining as none of them even have a remote chance of even taking one state.
I respect your choice of voting 3rd party, but dont pretend they actually have a chance.

I know people always like to say voting 3rd party is a waste of time, but what's worse voting between 2 people who don't represent your political beliefs or "wasting" your vote for someone who wants real change? If people who didn't want democrats or republicans elected, all voted for a 3rd party. I'm sure it would eventually make a dent in the top 2 parties. People just need to stop thinking it's a waste to vote for a 3rd party now. This is a democracy afterall, people can vote for anyone, so they should
|
It is a waste of a vote though. Is a vote for a 3rd part going to change who gets elected? No, it wont. You are essentially not voting by voting 3rd party, at which point, how is it different from staying home?
Also, the US is a republic, not a democracy.
