I think it's dumb. You're not getting laughed at for taking a third option, but because you're taking a completely meaningless third option which is untenable in the current system. And it's one of the lines of thinking that forces us to be stuck with the current system, because "They'll never vote so they don't matter".

So basically "It's hard so don't bother?" Because what we're currently doing about it(Fuck all) it's not going to change. We'll be dead and gone and our great great great grandchildren will be in the same shitpile we are(Though it'll probably be bigger). If we just sit on our thumbs and wait for something to change, nothing will.


People have the power, they just need to stop willingly throwing it away.

When was the last time a vote for a third party candidate had a noticeable impact on the world?

Like, shit, I dunno, the Green party. Name a single Green representative or senator. Hell, name a single Green state representative or senator. Name a single Green elected official.

And when you struggle to do that, I hope you will understand why if you want a system where you can vote for a Green candidate (or any other third party!) and not be effectively burning your ballot for all the good it'll do you need to change the system itself, rather than just vote for your preferred manic pixie dream candidate and see absolutely nothing accomplished because of it.
