    Or, think about this for a moment, there currently isn’t enough support for a third parry to have any chance whatsoever at winning. If the numbers were closer, instead of what, 2-3% for independents? It might be a better argument.

    But right now it’s just “There are three options. Two pounds of poop, one pound of poop, and candy. 98% of people are voting for poop. Now you can vote for candy to show your distaste for poop, but no matter what you’re getting poop. So are you gonna take the risk of two pounds winning by not giving your vote to one pound?” It’s not that complicated. I wrote it so toddlers could understand.

    To be clear, I’m on the side of candy. If that needed to be said. I’m just a realist.

        That isn’t here nor there. I’m not arguing over whether or not there SHOULD be support, I’m telling you the current facts of reality. We can all say candy is better for as long as we want but that doesn’t change the fact that the majority of people are shit eaters, does it?
