It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?

    What a dreadful article. If you’re not in a swing state, and you’re in the minority, and you have been for the last 70 years, why do you think anything is going to change this time? Your vote never made a difference before and it almost certainly won’t this time, either. Vote for whoever you want to vote for.

    It’s just embarrassing to write an article like this and forget about the electoral college.

      You say that as if you don’t realise that the electoral college is exactly why it can’t possibly achieve anything to vote third party other than risk your least favourite candidate winning.

      You act all high and mighty and snide and then completely miss the point. I’m not impressed.

      If you’re in a state that is solidly red or blue, then similar logic applies to downballot races.
