    it sucks that Trump won, but your vote was valid and no third party voter was throwing their vote away.

    they just lost.

    Trump won for many other reasons besides third party voters.

    there were a lot of bullshit tactics in 2016 that added up to way more votes lost that had a stronger impact on the election result than third-party voters sticking to their values.

    shit, gerrymandering is still legal in the US and your voter registrations have practically no protection from interference. That’s insane.

    If you voted according to your values, you voted well.

      I get what you’re saying, because that’s what I was saying in 2016, and if more people voted third party, it WOULD make a difference in the future.

      But if those third party voters vote for Harris, it would make a BIGGER difference NOW.
