Now i did for trump but i adementally argued against those that claimed 3rd party votes are throw aways. Before i became convinced by trump i was going to vote 3rd party. I think its more important to vote for something than it is to vote against something. If i had not liked any of tje 3rd party candidates which i did not i was going to write in george washington. I bwlieve 3rd party and write in votes send a message to the major partys of the type of person they need to run to earn your vote. Both partys are foolish if they ignore what 8 million voters voted for. If they are tone deaf they do not deserve our votes. You doing what you did amounts to acting as a political compass to point the party into a desired direction. I dont want to overstate it but i think it takes a certain amount of courage to vote 3rd party. Your playing the long gamenwhile the rest of the dissatisfied voters are playing short term and then getting mad that the party never offers them good candidates.
Btw i think the dems best shot at winning was nartim omalley. I lived in baltimore when he was the mayor. He is a very liberal guy but he us also very likeable. I would not of voted for him because i believe after the last 28 years of left leaning and moderate right presidentsbwe needed to move toward the right in policy but i would not of been upset if he had won, just disappointed. The party should really consider running him against trump in 2020.

You speak of throw away votes...but isn't it a throw away vote when you vote for someone because you like them instead of policies? I mean mayor of Baltimore? Really...the mayor of Baltimore.....ROTFLMAO
