As much as that has to feel good, it also removes your opportunity to at least TRY to stop the bleeding.

When it comes to voting, at least in a closed primary it will.

There are like 50 3rd parties, none will ever achieve squat in our system. The last election cycle we were inundated here on FR with all the people that were going to make the Constitution Party relevant. How'd that work out? Hint: the completely irrelevant Green party got 4 times the votes as the Constitution Party did.

You’re prob. correct. Until the time when we have free and OPEN debates (very easy to tie up all the votes when no opposition is allowed a voice. Were anything but the ‘big 2’ in any televised debate? How about the papers/etc.?). Nope, we have sound bite factories and our ‘free’ press keeps the masses duped and ignorant.

Still, it’s I’m one less vote (most of the time) for the lesser. My hands, and conscience, are clean and clear.
