I simply cannot grasp why some people believe voting 3rd party in a presidential election isn't one of the dumbest possible things you can do in life.

Like, beyond the fact that the 3rd party candidate with the most votes in 2024 got a whopping HALF OF A SINGLE PERCENT of the total votes cast, meaning a 3rd party literally cannot win, there's still the reality that even if they did win, no 3rd party has A SINGLE MEMBER IN CONGRESS, so if a 3rd party presidential candidate actually won, they wouldn't be able to do shit, because they'd have literally ZERO allies in Congress.

I'm pretty sure anyone voting 3rd party for president has absolutely no clue how our government works. They have no concept of the reality they live in.

You might want to say that to Michiganders who voted for Stein (and Oliver) because of Gaza and the US presence in the Middle East.

The 2024 Presidential election isn't the only one in US history: there have been 57 others.

Trump had few allies in Congress before 2016, but now members are the Republican caucus are falling all over themselves to curry favour from him.

You are so correct—as members of the herd generally are. I like people who resort to exaggerations, over generalizations, and distortions.
