I’d say most people think a wasted vote in a contentious election with a racist, rapist, fascist who wants to end democracy is stupid.

If you were to say, I don’t know, be working with local parties at the town, city, and state level to grow them and get them into positions, making them viable for the presidency down the road - not stupid! Awesome, in fact.

Telling people vote for a 3rd party in this presidential election?

Stupid. Very, very stupid. Yes, it will be frowned upon. Because its stupid. And people should be telling you how stupid it is. Because it is.
