Voting third party in this election is useless. All you would be doing is throwing your vote away.

This isn't a one issue election. It's a crossroads.

They say that about literally every single election

The standards have sunk so low it is staggering

What third party runner has any chance of winning the presidency?
Name one.

By that logic you should never vote for a third party ever because the chances are low

By that logic you should never try to change anything or challenge the status quo because what's the point.

People thought the divine right of kings was the only viable system for a thousand years too

Which third party candidate is viable this year? I think you forgot that part in your reply.

The entire thing of being third party is that it's only viable if people start realizing that they can and should bring those people into the fold. If a third party candidate somehow pulled 10% of the vote both Dems and Reps would have to take notice and make some changes. That person might not win outright but it gets the ball rolling.

So which third party candidate is viable this year?
