Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be.

The candidates themselves aren’t really that important, they’ve shown themselves to be chameleons whose positions shift as it’s convenient and necessary. Authoritarian self-styled strongman Donald Trump felt compelled to show up at the Libertarian National Convention only to get booed when he tried to woo voters, so there must be at least some recognition of third parties’ interests.

i don’t agree with what you say

well, you should tell everyone that you agree so that the public thinks you’re associated with me, and then try to change me whenever we’re alone

How about you get a fucking therapist and work on your own issues like the rest of us, thx.
