    Personally, i think voting third party sends a better message to the establishment than sitting it out and hoping for the ship to right itself. The sitout line that ‘anti-trump’ means ‘vote blue no matter who’ are disingenuous at best and lack imagination.

      I would largely agree but most third parties are intended to be bludgeoning instruments for one party or the other. Case and point Jill Stein. She’s everywhere during election season and then suddenly fades away.most “libertarians” just got absorbed into the tea party. The PSL has had their fair share of mishandled sexual abuse claims.

      All politicians are exactly that, politicians. I do think voting is the way out of this but I think the way we vote needs to absolutely be changed.
