Actions have consequences.
People need to assess the consequences of their actions.
Anyone who claims or thinks they are conservative, yet vote for third party, instead of supporting the R nominee who has a chance to beat the Dem, is indeed helping the Dem become president.
Anyone who says they’re conservative and vote for a party that has an increasingly dismal track record of doing anything to stop Dem policies, let alone enact conservative ones, is sending them the message that they can do WTF-ever they want and we’re too afraid to walk off the plantation.
If you keep going to the same grocery store despite their staff getting ruder, prices going up, and the bathrooms getting filthier...guess what? They’ll never change because they have no incentive to. They can sit back and do a slop job and know you’ll show up like clockwork.
Unfortunately 3rd parties are effectively finished since Trump played the Rightwing Saviour(tm) card so magnificently. The last one with any real chance was Rand Paul and Lord did he try - but he couldn’t beat the promises of someone who reached Santa Claus-levels. I was hoping Trump would run a 3rd party with the resources he has, but he didn’t. Now by the next election 3rd parties could win in a landslide and it’s all but certain there won’t be enough of America left to save. At the 11th hour and 59th minute, we didn’t learn, and that’s that.
