      I support the alternatives up until election day when I have to accept reality and not throw my vote away. Truth is if everyone voted for their ideal candidate, we’d end up with 50 parties each getting 2% of the vote… There’s always more ways to split. You have to compromise somewhere if you’re going to vote at all.

              You decrease the value of your vote when you write in yourself every time. Do you really have to agree with 100% of what anyone says? I’d have to write myself in if that was true.

                No one is making the argument that you have to agree 100% with whatever politician/party you’re voting for.

                And where on earth did you get the “write in yourself” thing from, that’s an even more ridiculous strawman.

                    Believe it or not, but there are more than two parties that run candidates in US presidential elections.

                    This shouldn’t need to be explained to you.
