    my expectations for a third party before any campaign finance laws or election reforms pass are very low, and if your district is highly contested between DNC and GOP and you decide to piss your vote away on a candidate with 6% chance, then you’re just committing self harm in my eyes.

    Third party voters know that the strategy is to force the duopoly to change in order to gain back our votes to win. That’s always been the strategy, the electoral system is in place to prevent another party from winning.
