If a massive number of voters would vote third party that would be great. But based on every presidential election ever that's just wishful thinking. The reality is a vote for a third party is one less vote for the best chance to defeat Trump.

The reality here is we aren't going to win with a non genocide candidate. The best we can do is go with the masses and vote the least bad candidate in.

You are confusing how you wish the world worked for how the world actually works.
