Who's voting third party?

As a Floridian, there's no way in hell I'd waste my vote on a 3rd party candidate. You can do all that silliness if you live in New York or Texas, but my vote has way more weight.
I am voting U.S. Taxpayers this year for president and major congress seats the minor nominations are unopposed republicans.
Yes I think suicide is funny and I am sick of pretending its not.

Here's a thought: if both the major candidates are shit, then it becomes much more likely that people would be voting for third parties than Clinton or Trump.
Of you are conservative, there's a new conservative party out there that's led by an ex-republican.
If you are seeking something with a stronger focus on the environment, there's the green party.
And if the proportion of people that voted for third parties is large enough, there would be the catalyst needed to end the death grip that the two major parties have right now.
I mean come on, who wants either person in power anyways?

True, too bad the two major third parties put up un-electable candidates. This is once more the problem with third parties. They put up garbage candidates that don't hold up to scrutiny.

Who's policies are the exact mirror of the "government does nothing, austerity yay, bankruptcy ho!" type of stuff that's doomed much of Europe.

With the anti-vac crazy person who gets herself arrested at pipeline protests and trying to crash the debates. No, just no.

Yeah....except it won't be. Because in part not enough of the electorate turns up to ever make this happen, so as ever, all any vote for a third party does is wind up being a vote that pushes one or the other of the major candidates into office because neither Johnson nor Stein is going to create enough of a coalition to unseat them. If one or both of them could have gotten into the debates, I might believe it's possible....but they didn't, so I don't.

Clearly the people who will show up and vote for them. We get the leaders we deserve they say.

Yeah everyone's shit. You guys are still fucked and will be for several decades onward.
So, even with the two major candidates out of the way...
Ex-CIA officer is way too focused on "OMG green energy isn't efficient".
Green party is tarnished because of insane anti-vax leading it.
Libertarian party seems like an imitation of the other two.
Don't get me fucking started on the paleoconservative party.
And every other politician doesn't have enough money or recognition.
Disappointing. And I thought that there was a glimmer of hope.
I'm sure if a third party candidate won enough votes and enough states, then yes they would win. But they don't have a chance unfortunately, they never get enough attention.

I'd like to vote for third party, but I'm in Puerto Rico, and the U.S. is stuck in the false dichotomy.

I don't know how to respond to that in the most funny manner. Or in the safest manner either. Um...

No. I actually favor green politics, I just know that there's conservatives that would be voting for Trump and I wanted to steer them away from him.
Good news! A member of the UN threatened to impose sanctions against the US!

Remember when Green Party voters gave you Bush yeah that shit was tight lmao
Only those with half a brain, the rest of the country will vote for the clown of their choice.

Hold up to scrutiny like the trump and clinton? They are both unelectable clowns. Clinton undermined democracy with all the Bernie underhandedness, which to me is like her saying shes above the election process and the law. I'm not even going to talk about what a fool trump is.
So yea fuck both of them. I'm done voting out of fear. Johnson wants to deregulate everything and send us back to the turn of the century policies. I want jill stein in office. And I actually like her. Not everything but enough and lots more than trump
Most people say a third party is a waste of a vote, but in this election every vote is a waste with our options

Voting in general is a waste. One vote won't do shit.
