For example, neither MAGA hat wearers nor third-party voters are willing to do the bare minimum to protect women, protect immigrants, or preserve democracy.
Third-party voters often push for more comprehensive protections for women, immigrants, and democracy than the major parties offer, which is why they refuse to settle for the “bare minimum.”
Voting third-party is about advocating for the policies that truly address these issues, not just accepting the status quo.
Dude, I get it. You’re mad that I’m not voting for your candidate. That’s ok. Not everyone has the same opinions as you. And that’s ok.
You get to vote for who you want. And I get to vote for who I want. Welcome to democracy.
Criticizing the status quo or otherwise giving your opinion is not the bare minimum. The bare minimum is action towards change. A third party vote cannot change anything, so it is not the bare minimum.
I’m not mad at all. I said you have the right to vote as you please and I meant it.
This is a democracy, as you pointed out. But in a democracy, I also have the right to critique your choices and explain why mine are superior.
Anyway, I don’t find your case for third party voting to be persuasive. Maybe that’s why the vast majority Americans think voting third party is an inferior choice.

I’m not trying to persuade you or anyone else; I’m simply stating why I’m voting third party.
The opinions of the majority don’t influence my reasoning—I’m voting based on my personal values.
About half of the country won’t be voting for Democrats either, and that’s just a side effect of democracy.
People have the right to choose the candidate who best represents their views, regardless of popular opinion.
I said more in common than you care to admit.

That comparison is flawed.

Absolutely. And vice versa.
That’s right. You’re not mad either, right?

It’s true. Half the country isn’t going to protect women’s rights. The half you’re in.
Anyway I’m not worried. My half will win without you.
Not true at all. I have been fighting to protect women’s rights longer than you have been alive, friend.
Good, then no reason to be upset then. So we can totally be friends now! :)
Doubtful. I’m pretty old.
But regardless of what you’ve done in the past, you now find yourself in the half that will not protect women’s rights.
Of course.
