third party voting will never get the candidate to winning in America's current state, but if enough people vote for them, it gives them a certain visibility, and will show that not everyone supports the two party system or trump and hillary
especially if you morally can't vote hillary or trump

(also, it's not as if i live in a swing state. my state has been red since the 50s or 60s) I'm voting for the lesser evil. Not saying But we all know who i am glad you have a candidate whom you feel ok about supporting!

(also, it's not as if i live in a swing state. my state has been red since the 50s or 60s) i'm pretty disappointed that bernie didn't get in? like yeah he had a bunch of problems but was definitely better than hillary + i feel she sorta cheated him out of the spot yeah, for me personally, it'll just be entertaining because both candidates get lot of hate, so either way, people are gonna be really unhappy ah yeah i understand that. for me personally, she's just the best candidate currently. exactly!! i'm Canadian and also not old enough to vote yet, but honestly? you should vote for who you want and not let people sway your view (aw man that really sucks. like there's no way you ca help if you're not a republican. i completely understand not having a vote seem to matter much bc in canada whichever party reaches majority vote first wins, and i live in the province that votes last.)

@singingpaw the electoral college is a relic from the 19th century that a lot of people (myself included) think ought to be retired.
i hate how the viable candidates are a) a corrupt politician who is under a second fbi investigation and b) a bigot with zero political experience
