you asked me this twice for some reason, but here you go: a third party vote is pointless in the US. has the same effect as not voting. and not voting means lower turnout, which has always benefitted the republican party.

that's why they suppress voters, or even plant third party candidates as they did with RFK. of course that turned out to hurt them because RFK being an absolutely insane person for some reason started cutting into the republican votes more than democrats. so they cut a deal and he fucked off of the race.
