    Anyone taking votes from Trump’s top opponent is doing this country a disservice. We have a first past the post voting system. Voting 3rd party is a vote against your interests.

      This is the only correct take.

      Imagine having the gall to run for office and take votes from the establishment because voters actually agree with your platform.

      If you’re not voting for the blue team you need to get our head out of your ass and show a little gratitude. You don’t know what’s in your best interest, so don’t even think about any other party.

      In fact, we should just ban all 3rd parties. That way nobody can be misled into thinking anyone other than Democrats are looking out for their best interest.

      that’s an undemocratic appeal to the “tactical vote”. i respect anyone’s choice on how they use theirs, but after having been manipulated years ago on that premise, i have refused to do it again
