    No, I do. Not voting and voting third party both work towards eroding the Democratic Party, which is necessary in order for positive change in the us.

      Voting third party is incredibly more effective at that because it signals a desire for change rather than just voter apathy

          In what way does voting for a third party candidate signal apathy? It shows you would like a candidate that is not one of the two main parties. Is that not your intention?

          Voting is miniscule, the real part lies elsewhere.

          What, do you plan on an armed revolution? Seriously?

            Yes. So it signals apathy with the current system.

            What, do you plan on an armed revolution? Seriously?

            Because the only thing to do apart from voting once every two years is to bomb the local town hall… Why is it you assume it is either vote or immediate mass organised proletarian uprising?
