i was aligned with the candidate for whom i voted, and i was not aligned with the candidates i voted against.
In 2016, everyone who voted 3rd party got Trump, the candidate they wanted the least.
In 2020, everyone who voted 3rd party was either going to get Biden, (the candidate they are moderately aligned with), or Trump, the candidate they were least aligned with.
In both cases, people who voted 3rd party made their chances worse. If you want more parties, the laws needs to change first, or else you're just wasting your vote and giving it to conservatives, who benefit from your 3rd party vote the most. You may not like it, but you are playing for Conservatives in the political game, and that goes for people who don't vote too.
everyone who voted for hilary got trump, too
implying I'm stupid is just ad hominem.
you are assuming I don't understand them. you are just calling me stupid without consider8that I might disagree.
