Reasoned Argument; Petty Insult

Posting this here instead of gen-chat because that thread shouldn't stay too serious for too long, square-face!

I've never liked the term "throw away vote". As if your vote is any less meaningful when pooled against thousands of other voters. You lemming.

Voting is one of the most basic forms of political expression; how you vote correlates to how you feel and what you believe about critical issues. Yet voting third party, or simply voting for someone who publicly supports your views, has the potential to be a much more powerful indicator. To an outside observer, your vote may still be just a statistic, but it would be much more meaningful personally. Unless you're a heartless husk, yeah you!

Presidental politics are always presented in a bite-sized fashion. It's designed to be easy - pick one or the other. You can base your vote on whatever you'd like, on as much thought or as little thought as you'd want. There's nothing critically wrong with that (though I would enjoy seeing a greater candidate diversity in the general election), but it's the idea that doing anything other than either-or is simply a waste that seems to stem from that system which bothers me. So shut your stupid face!

You moron, if you vote for a third party candidate over your more-likely-to-win preference, you and many others like you have split the vote of the likely-to-win candidate's into two sources and often, this leads the candidate that most people DIDN'T want winning. It may not be an ideal situation, but it's the parameters in which we have to work, so get your head out the clouds and also your ass.
