    The funniest thing about is like, I live in fucking Illinois. And I voted for the Dems downballot where it actually matters. All the words spilled, all the hate and anger that’s been directed at me, has been over a single third party vote in one of the safest states in the country. The vast majority of Americans live in safe states too.

    In reality it’s just about enforcing the social norms of the tribe.

      I’m in Illinois as well. I’ve personally come to the conclusion that voting third party isn’t a great option. The only third party that ostensibly aligns with me is the Green party, but their strategies make it clear to me that they actually exist to spoil elections, not advance issues. Our votes are technically irrelevant, but I’d rather not help legitimize the Green party.
