I’d like to see the logic diagram that allows you to vote for a write-in or 3rd party candidate and NOT call IT a wasted vote.

“I’d like to see the logic diagram that allows you to vote for a write-in or 3rd party candidate and NOT call IT a wasted vote.”

It’s contingent upon what YOUR vote means to YOU. If supporting conservative values is important why would you waste it on a liberal in Rino cloth like Rudy?(example, not saying he’s your man).

If it takes the complete destruction of the republican party as a viable political force to create a truly conservative party then so be it. The status quo is unacceptable in the long term.

Am I in California? --> Yes. --> Is there ANY CHANCE WHATSOEVER that the Republican will carry California? --> No. --> Will my vote for the RINO change the results. --> No. Will a third party vote have even the slighest chance of influencing future debate? --> mmmmayyyybe...

You cannot really write anyone in in a Presidential election as you don't actually vote for a candidate but rather a slate of electors for that candidate.

That’s easy. It’s called the electoral college.
