Third Party!

Third party options. They exist. Stop tossing your vote into the sea of crap which is the corporate parties.

Yeah, a third party candidate likely will not win this election unless people finally wake up to their existence and stop falling for the purposefully false dichotomy presented by the two corporate parties which are really after the same things, just for slightly different private beneficiaries. Then again, third parties will never stand a chance of pushing past the lockout created and maintained by the Democrats and Republicans unless people start voting for them.

Find a third party candidate you can respect and vote for them!

I like the third party idea, but the thought of hillary getting elected because I voted my conscience...

Go Green, Walt. My biggest problem with their platform is their stance on nuclear power.

I've never seen anything this bad before Cpt and I go back to Truman vs Dewey campaign. And Republicans Elites mocked Truman for not being very sophisticated. But those who worked hard with their hands and carried rifles at one time or another for these elites voted for Truman .

There are a lot more on the plate than just those two. Just because the mainstream media ignores that fact does not mean that Democrat and Republican candidates are the only ones vying for the job.

More unsubstantiated accusations. More rumor. Hillary was not my first choice, but she is far better than Trump.

MSG Stan Hutchison - Maybe look at voting for Jill Stein instead? She's an actual presidential candidate for the Green Party and has genuine positions close to what Hillary Clinton plays at having (let's face it, Hillary is really a neoconservative, just like her husband) yet she doesn't have that whole stigma of being bought and paid for by foreign governments and the billionaire's club here at home. She's a far better option for your vote than the shit shows from either of the corporate parties.

SSG John Gillespie - You may be correct, but as in the past, I think voting for a 3rd party candidate is a wasted vote. Taking a vote away from Hillary is the same as giving a vote for Trump (and vice-versa). I would really like to see a 3rd, and even a 4th party become competitive, but they are not,, so far anyway.

MSG Stan Hutchison - That's a false equivalence you are holding onto. 100-1≠100, just as 100+0≠101.

Further, 3rd parties will never become viable without increased voter support, just as the Democrat and Republican parties will maintain their stranglehold on the process so long as they maintain the illusion that they are the only viable options. You may believe that a 3rd party vote is wasted, and it may well have little to no effect on the outcome of this election cycle, but the goal of making those parties viable in terms of voter turnout so that they can demand fair coverage on the national stage is the point. The Democrat and Republican parties have effectively locked out any other parties or independents from competing for the presidency, and we continue to collectively allow it based on reasoning such as you have shared here.

If you cannot, in good conscience, vote for a candidate put forward by the major (corrupt and corporate-for-profit) parties, then your options are to:

A) Abstain in protest (your vote here is literally wasted and your opportunity to add to collective power in any fashion is missed)

B) Vote for a Democrat of Republican anyway (play the corporate shell game of which way to get screwed by them rigging the election process for their joint benefit, as you are intended to do)

C) Vote for a 3rd party candidate (add your vote to a meaningful process for change in the current system, helping to sway the vote of others over time into regarding the 3rd parties as viable options for restoring sanity and integrity to our federal government and thus helping to break the political lockout which currently exists)

It's really not a hard choice: You will either continue supporting corporate corruption and subversion of our government or you will not. The time to decide is fast approaching.
