Well I apologize if you found my tone belittling. I just found your use of 'idealism' ironic when you're talking about the moral and conscience reasons for voting and we were talking about just the measurable numeric outcome.Your belittling tone of being amused by me isn't personal, I know.
Except votes for Nader kept a movement alive. Votes for Gary Johnson keep a movement alive. They open the door for these political parties to go somewhere. Whether that's for a seat in congress or for spreading their beliefs.
If you're not endorsing a two party system, who should vote for these third parties? Isn't it ridiculous that we call them "third" parties, if we aren't in a two party system?
Well in order to put an end to a two party system, de facto or not, more has to be done on the other side of the ballot box. I think one has to be strategic at times with their vote, because at the end of the day it is just a number. If you're making a statement with your vote shouldn't you make sure it gets heard somehow? I think this is a dangerous election to be trying to make a statement, or in the case of how this conversation started, a tantrum.
