Don't need an article to explain spoiler candidates still exist. You remind us of that fact 3.3 times per hour.

Fear, uncertainty, doubt.

Those three things are all any authoritarian thinker has to work with.

I suppose I'm authoritarian and the certainty of third parties losing is "FUD"

No, I'm agreeing with you on the content of the article and its purpose here.

Doh yeah I totally don't know why I didn't read it that way to begin with. My bad!

Jill Stein is a russian asset.

I don't care. I'm not voting for her.

I didn’t ask who you’re voting for

And I didn't ask for your opinions, but here we are. It's a public forum, so we can give our thoughts. Even if they are unpopular. Thank you!

"In a true democracy there is no such thing as a spoiler," it said in a statement.

Right? Even Stein agrees that the Electoral College has to go - it's blocking the USA from being a true democracy when we can't even directly vote for the president!

I'd love for us to get rid of the Electoral College. I'd also prefer flat tax. Neither party of the Duopoly wants either of those things to happen though.

If only there was some way to earn support from a different voting block. I think that is possible, such as Harris actively courting republicans.

Harris: "I want to earn voters support."

Liberals: Earning the support of Dick Cheney and former Regan staff is okay. 😃

Liberals: Earning the support of Green or Third Party Voters. 😡
