This is why to vote for Third Party: The biggest objection to voting for a Third Party is the wasted vote argument the idea that if you vote for someone who will not win, then the vote does not count. Voting for a third party, contrary to popular belief, is not a wasted vote. Its a chance to tell the country and perhaps even the world what your vision of government and society really is. But how do most of us vote? Most of us vote the lesser of two evils a defensive vote, rather than an offensive one. So what happens after you vote the defensive vote? Well, then you have sold out your personal beliefs. You have become a political prostitute. You arent standing up for what you believe in by voting the lesser of two evils. I dont know about you, but Im tired of being a political hooker. If you think the Republican or the Democrat really does best mirror your beliefs, by all means, vote for that candidate. But if you dont, and you still vote for them, youre helping to preserve the status quo you probably despise. So Whats the Point of Voting? We vote to tell everyone else which choice best represents the direction which we want the country to go. When you vote, you gain a certain power that a non-voter doesnt have; the power to change America. Hence voting lesser evil sends the wrong message; its sending a message of compromise. In effect, a defensive vote says I will settle for a good America, not the best America possible. I urge you not to settle. In other words, if you want change, then create change. The history of third parties in America is that they serve as the vanguard for new ideas. It is these ideas that make the world go round. If a Third Party begins to draw votes, one or both of the two big parties steal their ideas. The most successful third party in the 20th Century was the Socialist Party. While never winning any significant elections, their small but growing vote totals were a threat to the Democrats. Thus the Democrats, and then later the Republicans, adopted piecemeal every major tenet of the 1916 Socialist Party platform. So rather than waste your vote on Democrats or Republicans, cast a meaningful ballot that clearly says what you believe. #VPA #VPPA #VPANEWENGLAND #VPofA @VetsPA www.vpofa.org www.veteranspartyofamerica.org www.chriskeniston2016.com

Sorry pal. This election will determine if the globalists bleed our countries assets dry, or we survive.

Message is one thing. Actual President is another. The former gets ignored.
Only two candidates have any chance of winning. If you don’t vote for the one of those you’d rather have, you’re failing to neutralize someone else’s vote for the other. “All evil needs to succeed is for good men to do nothing.”
Nobody cares about your message.
