Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

At that point you probably should have been voting third party. They won’t win but if they somehow hit 5% of the vote the party qualifies for federal funding in the subsequent election, to my knowledge. Also, the big parties do look at what votes they are losing out on to third parties to see how they should realign in the future just as much if not more as they look to see how they can engage non voters.
Until we have ranked choice voting third party isn’t going to get above 5 percent.
Agreed, but I still find it preferable to non voting
I agree now
