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.

Dude your option is actively, currently hurting people! That’s not “imperfect”, it’s literally Hitler levels of supporting a genocide. Talk about selfish lol.
