[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better to vote for the third-party candidate then. It means your vote will be counted, and also if the third party gets X% (varies by state) in that state, they qualify for federal funding next election or something like that. I think Nader got it for the green party in a state or two when he ran his bid a few years ago.[/quote]

This is what angers me.

40% of voters are unaffiliated. I switched from Dem to unaffiliated a few days ago.

The independents have grown over the years b/c many are disillusioned with the system. Only 20 states allow them to vote in primaries.  I recently read where 9% decided on Clinton or Trump during the primaries.

We have only ourselves to blame.

I am voting 3rd party, too.

And I cannot believe how rabid people become when you point out flaws in both platforms. These supporters take critiques personally and then automatically think you're rooting for "the opposition."

lol!  doesn't surprise me that they make up the 9%
not one bit[/quote]
