      • I actually like the people I vote for.
      • I’m too stubborn to be peer pressured into voting with the herd.
      • I’m in a solid color state, and my state votes late in the primaries. I get more leeway with voting third party than someone in a swing state.
      • Third parties appreciate every vote they get.

        Voting third parties don’t put any butts in seats and therefore do nothing. For example green has literally NEVER put someone in a federal office iin their 40 year existence.

          If likeliness of victory mattered, absolutely no one would vote Democrat in Oklahoma.

            You can vote so you can vote for local people. You can even sometimes vote between 2 Republicans to try to get the less shitty one and also vote to send a message
