    What I want is to vote for someone I believe in. I don’t get to have that in this current reality. So I opt to do the most good I can with what extremely little power I have. It doesn’t matter what any other faction wants at that point. If the Republicans want my vote, they can stop presenting the greater evil.

    The only time I went third party it wasn’t to win. It was because I saw it as two main candudates so shirty that there was a good chance for third party to snag more voters than usual, possibly enough to gain slightly better recognition in the future.

    The monkey’s paw curled.

    We got Trump. The recognition came as irrational blame for Trump.

    I won’t make the same mistake of voting for someone I think would do the best job. Now it’s merely an effort to keep the worst viable candidate out.

    Anecdotally, the reason I went third party that year was because the big two were so bad in my eyes that I thought third party had enough of a chance to go up a few percentage points, possibly receiving a little more recognition in the future.

    Not win. But something that could lead to better elections in the future. I was wrong.

    I don’t regret my vote though, since I had found someone to vote for, rather than against.
