Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be. (lemmy.world)

These snarky jabs are missing the point. I'm not a major party prodigal son casting a spite vote, I am actually not interested in either of their platforms and want to force them slowly over time to change.

That's laudable, but the way to do that is to vote in primaries, not to vote third party in the general election

i don't agree with what you say

well, you should tell everyone that you agree so that the public thinks you're associated with me, and then try to change me whenever we're alone

How about you get a fucking therapist and work on your own issues like the rest of us, thx.
