Are you one of the people who consider voting third party to be tantamount to not voting?

[–] LovableSidekick 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

No, voting third party is different from not voting, but in some situations (like when there's a danger of someone like Trump winning), voting for the most viable candidate is far more rational than voting for a guaranteed loser to send the system a wholly ineffectual message that you're not happy with it. In that case you're just jerking off in the corner.

I think he's referring to people who didn't vote because "both sides are bad"
