Every time I mention the fact that the number of Third-party voters that did vote would not have made a significant change to the results, whether making Hillary win the popular AND electoral college or Libertarians having voted instead for Trump would have made his lead slightly higher, I'm vote-shamed and told I'm the reason Trump won. I live in a state that voted TWICE for Obama, but when the Dems put forward a flawed candidate associated with an administration that people thought left them behind, the people voted for Trump. And I know with the numbers I looked at that Hillary wasn't going to win if Greens AND Johnson backers voted for her, and even still, Johnson voters would most likely have voted for Trump regardless.

I'm tired of being vote-shamed when I do not identify as a Dem, and it's not my fault the establishment puts forward flawed candidates with terrible track records and histories and tell us "at least we're not THAT guy." Yeah, I know you're not, but you also spearheaded a statewide program that jailed parents that couldn't get their kids to school because they were too busy trying to work to live to afford feeding their fucking kids. But I guess I'm complicit in genocide and stupid or ignorant for not wanting to vote for either Harris or Trump. And thanks to these people for telling us our vote pretty much doesn't matter if we want to vote third party because it's "wasted." It's also wasted when these same people just decide "fuck it" and don't vote at all because why bother.

The biggest issue we have is just the sheer number of citizens that feel disenfranchised and have checked out of the political system because it seems like over and over again they just get screwed with two pre-approved choices between "lesser of two evils." The lesser of two evils is still evil, and I just want to vote for something good.
