    LOL, it’s not misinformation to state the fact that voting third party is basically pissing away your vote.

    Arguing to not vote for third parties because they can never win is indeed misinformation. Governments spend billions in propaganda, what the hell do you think they are advocating for? for people to vote for parties that aren’t part of the government?

    There is no real serious third party option.

    I would argue that any party is a more serious option than red or blue, they don’t have blood on their hands.

    All it takes for a party to get traction and votes is popularity and popularity can be farmed in a day, if a bunch of famous people with millions of followers would start advocating for a third party you would have a revolution in a week.

      Not if they don’t stand the remotest chance in hell of winning.

      Oh, is that it?

      and popularity can be farmed in a day

      Ok, you’re just delusional.

      if a bunch of famous people with millions of followers would start advocating for a third party

      Hey, it’s like if every single worker in this country agreed to take part in a national strike, then worker’s demands would be met the next day. Oh wait, that’s a fantasy scenario that will never happen.
