    Or vote third-party, and you’ll probably get a senile President, but maybe not.

    Vote third party and we are guaranteed to get a senile president. It’s a two party FPTP system.

    Edit: Or just keep on thinking you have to settle for the lesser of two evils. (How’s that working out for you?)

    Better than telling people to throw away their vote. How’s that working for you? How many 3rd party presidents have you gotten elected with your strategy? How many fascist policies has your strategy avoided us?

      I’ve long fantasized of people being so fed up with both parties, that along would come a third party at the right time and enough people would flock to them that and vote them into office.

      But it’s just that: A fantasy.

      And anyways, there’s always the chance that said third party would be way way worse and maybe there’s a good reason why they weren’t more prominent to begin with.
