An insult to dumbasses everywhere. I am sure @Rubashov is rolling over in his pasture right about now.

We have a better option.

In America it is the independent thing that kills it. The vast majority vote for the R or D by the name. Anything different and they have to actually *gasp* think. And understand. And many don't want to do the former and even more are incapable of the latter. I wish we had a viable 3rd party, and 4th and 5th. But hell, let's start with just adding a 3rd viable party. Things would improve drastically within the first few voting cycles. But unfortunately right now, we don't. So we are stuck with R or D and then maybe someone else if I am a fringe thinker and want to vote my conscience rather than decide the fate of the free world (at least in this election). So I am glad you are voting for RFK. I hope a full 1/3 of registered republicans do the same. Just as long as we get Trump off the big stage finally.

Oh and the anti-vax thing is nearly a non-starter for me. Get real. We cannot have a conspiracy theorist in a position of power like that. Most of our politicians are out of touch enough as it is. Don't need to rock the crazy boat any more than we absolutely have to.

Get rid of the electoral college and 3rd party candidates may have a chance some day.

As it stands 18 million Americans voted 3rd party in an election one time. That resulted in a grand total of ZERO electoral votes. Those 18 million votes didn't count.

Actually I was a little low on the number.
On Election Day, Perot finished in third place behind Clinton (the winner) and Bush. Perot received 19,743,821 votes, the most ever received by a non-major-party candidate, which accounted for 18.91% of the popular vote. He garnered ZERO electoral votes

Oh they swayed the electoral college, by taking votes away from candidate #2, essentially handing the election to the candidate that won, with like 40% of the total vote. It was ridiculous. Perot took nearly 20% of the vote and that would very likely have propelled Bush to the presidency. So they mattered. But not the way they should have mattered. And he actually got nearly 20 million votes.
