Third Party voting only works in the primaries. This is how it works. Say that the Democrats get 35% of the vote, the Communists get 2% of the vote, the Socialist Worker's Party gets 3% of the vote, the Greens get 6% of the vote, and the Libertarians get 2% of the vote. Then, in the general election, the Democratic candidate can look at the primary election results and say: "Gee. 13% of my important constituents feel really strongly about moral-liberal issues, so therefore I will alter my message accordingly in the general election!"
The dig in the heels purists/"real" Conservatives either do NOT live in reality,or they really,really,REALLY are masochists,who would far rather have Dems run everything,than get anything at all,from the GOP,that they claim to want.But life and politics ARE made up of compromises and only children have trouble understanding that.

Huh? Have you ever voted in the primaries? That isn't how primaries work in America. In America each party votes for it's choice of candidate WITHIN IT'S OWN PARTY, during the primary.
Third party candidates are not welcome on the ballots of either the Republican Primary or Democrat Primary. Perhaps you don't actually live in America?
That entire post made no sense whatsoever.
