    They should at least have voted third party… I think many people should have voted third party… Why do so few people vote third party?

      If they are too apathetic to vote for dems, they certainly won’t go out of their way to make a statement and vote third party.

        Still better than not voting at all. Would not give the same signal if republicans win with 40% of votes VS winning with more than 50% of votes.

        Additionally, if the regular voting base for third parties grows, it exponentially makes more sense voting third party.
        It is like driving backwards away from a really near wall where you parked sideways against it: you have to get just a bit closer to the wall with your nose, but as soon as the tail starts to get away from the wall, the distance grows exponentially faster over time.

        I think best for US would be alternative conservative parties besides republicans.
