Our electoral system is trash, designed in a way that disproportionately favors groups willing to compromise and coalesce behind a single candidate. If we split the vote by voting our conscience while the "other side" consolidates behind a single candidate, we're at a serious disadvantage. The core issue is how the public is ignorant, or worse, misinformed and confident (made easier by ignorance). This is a failure of our education system, a system that's been declining for decades. Not a lot I can do, I was born into this.
As just one cog in the machine, my power is limited. If I see a close race between two candidates, with others trailing far behind, I'm compelled to compromise for what I believe is the better outcome. If you prioritize supporting a third party, or if you genuinely see both leading candidates as equally shit, then by all means, vote third party. We all have our priorities. However, I do resent being judged for making pragmatic compromises to cause some change, as mild as it may be.
LMAO stupid
More of this low effort trash, gtfo
Of course there are. And if you want your vote to be useless, you can vote for them.
You have failed to make any effort at explaining yourself so Idk why I should.
You decrease the value of your vote when you write in yourself every time. Do you really have to agree with 100% of what anyone says? I'd have to write myself in if that was true.
Then you don't actually care who gets elected
The unions are corrupted, too.
I support the alternatives up until election day when I have to accept reality and not throw my vote away. Truth is if everyone voted for their ideal candidate, we'd end up with 50 parties each getting 2% of the vote... There's always more ways to split. You have to compromise somewhere if you're going to vote at all.

Why specifically YouTube and not Google or alphabet? Interesting choice...
