2008 was pretty safe. 2012 too. Every election since then, it's been too close and the stakes too high.

So not just THIS election then.

Doesn't matter tho. I'm still voting third party. And I've created a community that allows even more diversity in political opinion including more republican and third party posts, in addition to democrat posts. So you may wanna block me now and save yourself the frustration.

If it doesn't matter, why even ask the question?

You seem confused, how can I best help you?

You ask for criteria on when it's too important to vote 3rd party. I give you criteria. You say, it doesn't matter, I'm still voting 3rd party. What was the point of that whole interaction if nothing could possibly change your mind?

Does anything I say ever change your mind?

I dunno about you specifically but one of your ilk convinced me that Social Democracy is not really socialism and is more like a flavor of Liberalism. Just off the top of my head. Another one convinced me that some forms of anarchy are a viable system of government, though not my preferred one.

but one of your ilk

I don't understand. My ilk? Care to clarify what ilk I am of?

And because people you knew talked about social democracy and anarchy, you decided that I must have some sinister agenda?! I'm not clear about the connection you are making.

They don't need to say it

Maybe they are afraid to say it.
