A third party candidate in 2016 gave the election to the despicable. That was Jill Stein, and she's on her ego-trip again to try to ruin this country. (I don't disagree with many f her positions. But she should not be a third party candidate.) Also, and I know there were other elections as well in the past, the 2000 election went to Bush…

But she should not be a third party candidate.) Also, and I know there were other elections as well in the past, the 2000 election went to Bush because of Nader's third party candidacy. So, if you must, hold your nose, but vote for democracy and the Democratic candidate. Do you really want to see this country fall under a narcissistic autocrat who doesn't care about the Constitution and will ruin everything our founding fathers (and most of the readers here) wanted? Look at the reality of the situation. For better or worse, as of now, we're a two-party country. One of the two candidates will win. A third party has no chance of winning--only subverting the process. So, keep voicing your opinions on issues that are important to you, but vote sensibly. Help save our country!
Sorry, Herb. We’re in the position we’re in today because Democrats can’t renounce their corporate donor fealty, and do right by the working class and the poor, and it turns millions of voters off.
I already debunked the Nader fallacy to Richard above. As to Stein, do you know why Clinton lost Michigan? It wasn’t because of Stein; her vote totals were exceeded by the number of ballots, many of them around Flint, in which voters had marked a preference for Democrats in every race on the ballot but the one for POTUS. They left that one blank. Why? Because instead of aggressively going after the corporations shilling for the GOP governor who allowed the water crisis to unfold, Obama actually showed up and told the people in the area the water was safe to drink. It still wasn’t. When you betray people, they usually remember.
I will not vote for a hold your nose party, nor candidate. That’s a ridiculous strategy to save a democracy, which we don’t currently have, btw. In case you haven’t noticed, we live in an inverted, totalitarian corporate state, which both parties, and their voters, have been complicit in creating. I will vote for the candidate who most aligns with the policy Rx I believe will best address the pressing issues we face as a nation. Would it be that most Americans voted that way, instead of holding their noses.
