I have zero respect for 3rd parties in this election, ESPECIALLY so-called “conservative” 3rd parties.

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know they have every right to run.

I’m just saying I personally have zero respect for them.

Do you understand how voting works in New York?!?

Third parties often endorse the same candidates as the Republicans and Democrats, and the votes go to the candidate. But the voter can vote CONSERVATIVE to indicate a preference of the conservative side and not just the typical liberal Republican that the NY GOP loves.

In New York, two parties can nominate the same candidate. So, if you want the Republican Party to move toward a more conservative direction, you vote for the Republican Party candidate on the Conservative Party line.

In other States, it doesn't work that way. So, there's no reason to trash 3rd Parties in New York.
