Folks act like the vote for third parties is somehow going to matter if another million or so folks cast that direction. We are in a rigged pseudo electoral system. As long as states cast their votes as winner take all, we have problems. I would love to see third party taken seriously, of course! Especially the only sane party; libertarians.
The only two ways to fix this asinine system. Get rid of the winner take all and preferably the entire electoral college BS. The other option is for media and pacs and everyone else to stop ignoring the third parties.
Unfortunately, neither is very likely
Still I would love to see a large vote for third parties to at least get a little attention.
Personally, what I would like to do is have our Senators elected in a two-round voting system while our Representatives are chosen statewide via a proportional party system.
That way, we can also get rid of this gerrymandering bull****.
