    third party =/= throwaway… did you know the republicans used to be a third party? you’re short-sighted in thinking a) anything will get better under democrats OR republicans in their current iteration and b) if i can’t have immediate change, everything i do is moot.

      When the primaries are over and there’s no viable third party candidate in the running, yes, third party vote = throwaway vote. Your idealist thinking is what’s short-sighted.
