Kaslin: But by voting 3rd party you are handing your votes over to the left.

And conversely, those normally inclined to vote Democrat, when they vote 3rd party ... they, too, are handing their votes to the left?

And first-time voters, ones who've never voted before, when they reject main party candidates and vote 3rd party, they are handing their votes to the left? Really, Kaslin?

The ONLY way to hand your vote to the left is to vote for a leftist candidate. In an election between two main party leftists, ala Romney vs Obama, a third party vote reduces the popular mandate of whichever leftist wins. So if you truly want to weaken leftism, voting 3rd party is your only option in that scenario.

THAT is the math, Kaslin FRiend.

Vote-shaming on FR is annoying isn’t it?

Currently there are 2 Independent Senators, King of Maine being one and the other one is Sanders from Vermont. Both vote with the rats

Now tell me how many have been elected for example from the constitution party, which btw I think would be a party to consider if they had any success. So voting for a third party member is a waste of time
