Ugh, idiot 3rd party voters. Anyone who is in any way conservative and is not voting Republican is a complete fool.
3rd party's are virtually always nothing more spoilers or a dumping ground for wasted votes.
How is it so many people can't grasp this?
We seriously need to create something called the American Liberal Union Party and get it on the ballot in as many districts and states as possible. We will find some hardcore marxist types who want attention to be the candidates for this party and use them to splinter off a couple percent of the Democratic vote everywhere we can. We have enough dopey people on our side that fall for this (yes Libertarians, I'm talking to you), so I've gotta figure the left will have even more dunderheads who can't figure out what completely fail 3rd parties are.
I believe that the open primary ballot proposition passed by the voters in June will effectively neutralize third parties in California. The top two vote-getters in the primary for each office will appear on the general election ballot, and nobody else.
